  1. I've been looking at Tamiya's airbrushes but I have an Iwata studio series sprint jet compressor. Would any tamiya airbrushes be compatible with this compressor?
  2. After completing my first ever Zoukei-Mura kit I can say that the company is... okay, not as great as I may have propped them up to be but still a good manufacturer. Their interior structural details are astounding but the fit (on this one at least) was not always great, especially in those damn gear legs. Despite some minor issues like that I did enjoy this one and I'll probably get other kits from them, but maybe not as many as I planned to. Also I have more photos of the Ta 152 on my Facebook @David Peckham
  3. Thanks for your responses guys. If this kit is basically the exact same molding as the others than I might as well save some money and just get the old Bf 110C one.
  4. Just had a quick question. I have heard that Eduard's 1/48 Bf 110s have some fitting problems. Has anyone built this new limited edition kit? and if so does it still have the same fitting issues?
  5. Have slowly made progress with this one. A kit with this much detail requires absolute patience.
  6. Hola comrades. Does anyone use Tamiya's enamel paints? My favorite silver paint i've ever used is Model Master's chrome silver but since they're discontinued i've been considering what to get to replace it if I can't find any more. Metallic paints in acrylic suck in my opinion so would you recommend Tamiya's enamel chrome silver?
  7. Due to complications with my move I will be stuck in my current location for the winter so looks like i'll be back at it for the meantime. My next kit will be this ridiculously detailed kit from Zoukei-Mura, their 1/48 scale Focke Wulf Ta 152. I have been modelling for about 13 years and amazingly I had never heard of these guys until recently and now I eagerly await what else they will make in 48 scale in the future. If you've ever built any Zoukei-Mura aircraft please feel free to share your experiences.
  8. Happy Halloween. My 1/8 scale Dracula by Moebius has risen from the unholy plastic that laid within it's earth box and molded into the undead creature of the night. What music they make.
  9. He's right behind the door. The unholy creature of the night will rise on Halloween.
  10. 10 days remaining till Halloween, thankfully i'm "ahead" of schedule.
  11. Well i've just came across the biggest gap that i've ever seen in a model so you might be right.
  12. Time to live up to my namesake of Models "and Monsters". Years ago I got this kit but I told myself i'd never even attempt it until I learned to airbrush and get good at it. I feel that time has finally come. Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays and since I won't get to do jack poo-poo this year I might as well spend the month of October unearthing this figure from it's native soil. This is Moebius' Bela Lugosi Dracula in 1/8 scale.
  13. Toronto is becoming a shithole so i'm just looking to get out. Currently looking at places north of TO like Barrie, Innisfil, Collingwood. I actually dream of one day moving to Alberta ironically, unless there's anything you know about Calgary that might change my mind.
  14. Wow, nearly identical. Did you paint yours Gray violet first and then light blue?
  15. My latest build is finished, Revell's 1/72 scale Arado Ar E.555 Amerika Bomber. This one wasn't bad for an older Revell kit, fit together pretty good and had about as much detail as you could fit in that cockpit. This was my first attempt at airbrushing any kind of German WWII camo and I was convinced i'd screw it up but i'm pretty happy with it. This will also likely be my last kit for a while as I may be moving in the near future & don't want to have to pack any more fragile models than I already have to. So until the next one, adios.
  16. If those are the only problem areas then that's nothing. Eduard it is.
  17. Oh so the fitting is only a problem if you aren't displaying the guns? Cause I would have displayed them open anyway.
  18. Very nice job. I do always like to choose Eduard profipack kits cause of the included photo etch and masks but I will have to make a tough decision between the two.
