Sorry to hear that. This game really does have its ups and downs...

Well, it's a challenge to make something beautiful from any Brewster design, but you succeeded!

Very probably not, as they are slightly different, one slightly newer with more functions. That's a good answer @ICMF, nothing too sinister!

That is a lovely, striking piece of work. I love the panel lines, they are bold but they go with the in-your-face markings perfectly. I've got some outrageous 1976 bicentennial F-111 markings somewhere, this is giving me inspiration...

Lovely work - extra kudos on the rare roundels!

Hi all, Here's one for the wise DLP giant heads... I've got 2 Elegoo Mars running side by side. Often, printing the same file at the same time. Except, today, I notice after 3.5 hours, my older one is 20 layers behind. Its not necessarily an issue, although I do get slightly more print failures with my older machine. I think it may be a 2nd gen, while the newer machine is a 3rd gen? (It has the tank clean function). Just curious to know any thoughts - I hope it isn't a harbinger of impending mechanical failure, maybe its a sign to apply some gr

Sounds like a lovely day's spotting. What is that single engine type? I can't make out the reg. Edit - I just tried a bit harder - an Aerospool WT9 Dynamic! That's my education for the day.

Are these inkjet printed decals, or laser? For inkjet, an acrylic clearcut is normally recommended, humbrol gloss coat would be a bit too hot I would guess. Also, I for one have never been able to make inkjet decals work consistently without risk of bleed, I've tried several clear coats and got up to 75% success rate, but they are so fickle, also using a decal setter is a pain because it really has to be applied under the decal. If you are using laser printed decals, these don't need a clear coat, but they can be fragile if the decal becomes wrinkled, the toner which is in theory b

Yes, it's the older ones particularly - there are a surprising number of kits in one form or the other for the current stuff, eg Global, Citation. I'd add the original Jet Commander - the Aurora kit is a collectible these days, not really for building - and a Learjet 24.

That is one lovely pair of HS125s! Particular props on the Matchbox, hard to find, and we do need a new 125-600 in 1:72...

Having a purdy good weekend in Vegas, probably. This is a truly lovely model, well done! Definitely deserves a hermetically sealed perspex home.

Beautiful builds! Great stuff. (Romanian PZLs = my learning point for the day!)

Fantastic Delta Dart, and a great finisher! I must say, if I did a century series my OCD wouldn't cope with one Luftwaffe machine next to 5 USAF, but Luftwaffe is a much more representative scheme for the 104 so glad you don't have the same affliction!

Just spotted this, sorry you've not had a response. I would say, a general no to acrylic washes. The key with a wash is to be able to remove excess, and acrylic dries quickly making it very difficult not to leave (unwanted) stains. There is a Citadel product called Lahmian medium, which you use to thin acrylic and make a wash, works well for figures but I found it a bit gloopy when used on undercarriage. A clay based wash - basically pigment in water with flow improver - such as Flory Models wash is your friend. Totally wipeable-offable (if used on a gloss surface - it will get in

Sorry I'm late..love it! I predict a fantastic before and after pic in the near future.
