  1. I actually went to work with some Future on Modelsvit's 1/72 Mirage III last night. So far I'm very happy, it went on over Alclad polished aluminum and duraluminum. Gonna throw on some decals tonight and this weekend hopefully I'll try a panel wash. I'll try to upload some pics for you all. Thanks for the tips!
  2. Thanks! I’ll give my Future a shot and see how it comes out!
  3. I've never been one to spray a clear coat on natural metal finishes because I fear it will ruin the natural metal look, but I'm interested in the community's thoughts on doing just that. I use SC Johnsons Future for my clear coat and have for a while since it's abundant here in the states. I'd mainly like to do it to protect the paint below from doing lacquer panel washes. Any tips would be appreciated!

    Flat Coats

    Hello from the colonies! Model master flat coat has been my go to for years, since it’s been discontinued, I need to come up with another option. What do you all recommend for a good flat coat on aircraft scale models? Does MRP do a flat coat? I really like their paint.
  5. I’ve used Gunze quite a bit for luftwaffe and IJN/IJA colors. They’re quite good, I’ll have to pick up some for my modern US jets. Thanks!
  6. Thanks Julien, my mistake!🙏
  7. So I found out my go to enamel paint for Modern US subjects, Model Master, is being discontinued. Any suggestions on a paint brand I should try that’s accurate for modern US aircraft? MRP? AK? Hataka? Gunze?
  8. Boy I hope they get this one right, would love to have an accurate B-1B, I hope they tone down the panel lines and make sure to add all the antennas and bumps, I didn't build the B-52 but heard it was missing a lot of those details. I did build the B-2, it was a bit of a bear to build, but in the end it turned out really nice.
  9. Oh we most certainly did have panic buying of toilet paper🙄. Its still not as stocked as it was. Cleaning supplies are still hard to come by. We really botched up the response over here. Thanks for the new British slang! Hope you all are hanging in there and staying healthy! I’ll post some pics of a couple projects I’ve built recently soon!
  10. Okay so being an American with no clue, what’s a dunny roll?? 🤔
  11. Yeah I just saw something posted on the Airfix Facebook page about Hornby raking in cash from all the stay at home folks building models🤷🏻‍♂️
  12. They have vastly diversified that’s for sure. I'm certainly aircraft centric 1/72 scale too boot. I’m just being a selfish baby here. Seems like we get one new tooled 1/72 kit a year. I can dream😌
  13. Just asking for opinions, has Hasegawa pretty much put an end to making new tool aircraft? They had a pretty good run of nice new kits especially the 1/72 bombers they brought out approximately 5-15 years ago. I’m hoping they complete the 1/72 F-35 variants with an F-35C soon. Anyhow, just shooting the breeze, hope everyone is staying safe and healthy out there.
  14. I bought a 1/72 Hasegawa Tornado F.3 on eBay and the seller didn’t mention the instructions were missing. Instead of returning the kit, and going through all that, I thought I’d ask the community if anyone had scans of the instructions they could provide? I’ll even post pics of the beauty when she’s done. 😬
