  1. Why don't you just get an Excel Dual Strip Cutter? It doesn't look like you're getting any uniformity in width using that contraption.
  2. Google the term. There are plenty available for different needs.
  3. I use it for "WALKWAY" stripes other miscellany on aircraft. As indicated on the website, it's available in various widths. I've tested it on car bodies and it allows for a good amount of curvature. Plus, being that the edges are lacquer coated, there isn't any color bleed. Nice, sharp separation.
  4. Atlantis announced that the entire initial production run is sold out.
  5. PT43 MICRO TAPE FINE DETAILS
  6. Nah, looked it up.
  7. The hexagonal shape is a sprue bush, which is rotated to allow or restrict flow of the injected styrene to different parts of the mold insert.
  8. Beyond Bright has a CRI of 82. 80 and above is considered good.
  9. I bought this Magnifier LED Lamp 5X Magnifying Glass Desk Table Light Reading Lamp With Clamp for 31 bucks, including tax & shipping. It's much better than the $120 Tensor lamp w/magnifier and 25 lb. base, which uses a 15w full spectrum spiral CFL bulb (which haven't been available since 2016) that I overpaid for at Pearl Paint just before it went out of business two years prior. As a bonus, it's also suitable when performing head transplants.
  10. There's RAL 8013 Rotbraun from AK Interactive. It has a brownish hue like Portola Red.
  11. I use Vallejo paints regularly; however, I haven't had a need for that particular color. If you google "Portola Red", you'll notice that the Vallejo color is a close match to the different available versions of Portola Red.
  12. There's Vallejo Model Air 71.084 Fire Red
  13. It's probably "Manufactured for Bare-Metal Foil. Inc by Microscale Industries".
  14. Nothing in that reply addresses the apparently inferior adhesive being used.
  15. It doesn't matter how much "old stuff" one bought to squirrel away because the "new stuff" isn't the same. Adhesives deteriorate over time. So, your "old stuff" will be as useless as the "new stuff" a lot sooner than you'd like.
  16. Nope. The Revell kit is a rebox of a Venice Beach=produced Revell kit which was originally released in 1971. It's nowhere as detailed as the Heller kit, which was also released by Airfix. Why should it matter if the Heller instructions are in French? No different than older Tamiya kit instructions written in only Japanese. Follow the drawings or photos to see what gets attached where.
  17. As Ray said, spray a light coat of some clear, like Krylon Clear, and cut close to the decal image. Use Solvaset to soften the decal to allow it to conform to the surface you're placing it on.
  18. Scale Finishes does.
  19. Internet Hobbies, and its various offshoots, has been ripping off customers since 2000.
  20. As posted by Roy Chow at Missing Lynx, owners Dale and Diane Bruner are subject of a lawsuit filed by the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General. The complaint alleges that the defendants consistently failed to deliver products and failed to refund consumers’ money, violating the Commonwealth’s Consumer Protection Law. Included n the lawsuit are the numerous front operations they operated such as Hobby Wheels, Hobby Rails, Hobby Book Depot, Red Star Hobbies, Military Model Depot, Model Airplane Depot, Model Railroad Depot, Model Ship Depot, Gundam World Online, www.takom-military.com, Model Kit Closeouts, and Model Train Closeouts. It took long enough for these skells to be charged for the scam they ran for years. Attorney General Shapiro Files Complaint Against Online Hobby Shop, Warns of Holiday Shopping Scams
