  1. Bomber Seats (2) Set #1 1/25 Bomber Seats (2) Set #2, 1/25
  2. Italeri 223/654 is a totally different kit. It's a straight Italeri tooling.
  3. I once ran out of the regular chrome and had a sheet of the matt foil laying around. I put some Novus 2 on a piece of an old tee shirt and carefully polished the sheet until it was shiny. Then, I buffed it out with another piece of tee shirt. I applied it and burnished it with a Q-Tip. Couldn't tell the difference.
  4. In my area, it's called "Not Available - Out Of Stock".
  5. Need to go somewhere? You're a NY'er by default being from Joisey. Killing time is in your DNA, man. Take a walk around the neighborhood park, talk to the crazy guy playing a tune on the curbstone with his drumsticks, hit a gin mill for a couple of suds or a coffee shop and have a greaseburger deluxe, hang out with the giant cannibal pig outside the Italian pork store, anything but Hobby Lobby ferchrissakes! Look, I'm as much a model nut as the next guy here; but, I'm not going to keep going back to the same lameass store to stare at the same lameass kits I saw six months before. As my good friend Al Einstein would say as he was buying his weekly fix of lottery tickets, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”
  6. Please explain to this bum from Brooklyn what's the seemingly irresistible need to look for model kits in this joint. Hobby Lobby is a "hobby shop" in the most general definition of the term. It's an arts & crafts store, just like Michaels. They sell some model kits and supplies, similar to how stationery stores and local drug stores from years ago might have had a back shelf with a couple of kits, glue and some paints. Their main business is DIY craft items and notions. If the main factor for shopping there is the 40% off coupons/sales, that really isn't much of an incentive because, according to everyone's griping, the selection sucks and buying something just to get that discount is being penny-wise but pound-foolish since it seems some buy the same kits ad nauseam. Sure, there are almost no real local hobby shops left to waste an afternoon in anymore; however, online shops offer a much larger variety of modeling products than you could ever find in Hobby Lobby.
  7. Polish it. Buff it with a soft cloth and it will look like regular BMF.
  8. If that's the case, it's not worth reading.
  9. 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.
  10. Google the term. There are plenty available for different needs.
  11. 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.
  12. Atlantis announced that the entire initial production run is sold out.
  13. PT43 MICRO TAPE FINE DETAILS
  14. Nah, looked it up.
  15. 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.
  16. Beyond Bright has a CRI of 82. 80 and above is considered good.
  17. 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.
  18. There's RAL 8013 Rotbraun from AK Interactive. It has a brownish hue like Portola Red.
  19. 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.
  20. There's Vallejo Model Air 71.084 Fire Red
  21. It's probably "Manufactured for Bare-Metal Foil. Inc by Microscale Industries".
