This kit is a OCD fanatic's dream. Virtually every stinkin' interior detail found under the actual aircraft's skin is modeled. This is a bargain for 600 bucks. The same goes for HpH Models' 1/48 B-52H Stratofortress. It's worth every penny of its $743 USD price tag

If it ain't broke, why the hell try to fix it? The new minimalist category listing system sucks. The momos even got rid of military sub-listings. I've been using Vintage Model Kits to search for kits on ebay for years. I can find exactly what I want with it.

More like rats in a maze. Lessee which way they'll go, Perfesser.

Ah, just like recycling centers.

Good work, Rich. Dropping the rear improves the look.

Not to mention the heated discussions regarding the correct shade of flat clearcoat to impart the exact representation of flat finish that will be buffed out to a perfect semigloss sheen.

You can add Tiger I's and Pz IV's to that list. I'm surprised that a kit representing an Early/Mid/Late production Tiger I completed on April 23, 1944 at 4:47:14 P.M. with realistically detailed, 74 piece PE beverage stains on the engine hatch representing the beer that Udo Fartfinger, Lehrling Schraubertechniker 3. Klasse. spilled when he kicked over a bottle of flat Nörten Hardenberger Bock. ,

There are more '57 Chevy kits available than the actual number of this particular model which were produced by General Motors. With relatively few exceptions, there's nothing that makes the majority stand out in the crowd.

They do, just not in the U.S. market.

Does anyone else here know that NASA was paying Russia $90 million per astronaut to send them to the ISS because it foolishly retired the shuttle and left our space program without a suitable replacement? If not for SpaceX, Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic, manned space research and innovation would be still mired in the protracted moribundity exhibited by NASA.

“Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.”

They'd say that the convex shape of the observation windows distorted what they saw.

Smile! You're on Candid Camera! If you have a smart TV, you needn't look any further.

Intelligent use of the internet to find an answer to a question. You're setting a bad example, Steve.

Hey, Johnny. Don't politicize my thread and get it locked. If you got problems with the subject, keep them to yourself and scroll on by.

It's a start for civilian/commercial space exploration. A breath of fresh air after decades of no innovation from NASA. I'm a vet. It's not Jeff Bezos', or any other person in the same category, responsibility to address these problems. Call your reps and ask them why they ignore them.

He'll finally reach the final frontier. This one's for you, Captain Kirk!

So sorry to hear this. Rich was one of the good guys.

No can do. That photo is almost three years old. I haven't been able to d/l photos from my Canon EOS since the middle of last year following a Win 10 update and have been looking for a solution to correct this. I don't use a cell; so, I can't go that route for pics. The EOS Utility program which came with the camera is no longer compatible with Win 10, it seems. I did use the Desoto bumpers (front and rear) and Easy Chromed wheelcovers on one I completed, though.

Bingo, that's the ticket!

Actually, for better or worse, I'm a lot closer. I've been in the desolate wasteland known as Rockaway Park for almost three years. The pizza here sucks big time. Spray light mist coats. Stop as soon as it takes on a bright chrome finish. If you apply too much, or heavy coats, it'll have a dull appearance.

I'm not into using spray cans to paint/apply a finish on relatively small parts. Most of what one sprays is is waste because, contrary to what some spray bomb proponents claim, there is no precise control of the pattern or volume of the material being sprayed. Also, a fairly large percentage of the indicated weight is propellant, not product. You can use any decent (excluding c_rap "craft" paints ) gloss black. You can even use semigloss or flat black and spray the included basecoat over either to achieve a smooth, high gloss surface. The urethane basecoat is a single stage, water-based product. You can thin it with tap or distilled water to improve flow. Fortunately, NYC has the best tap water and we don't have to worry about stalagmites forming in our kitchen sinks.

1. Yes, I've used it. The Maverick bumper was given a single light coat over a gloss black acrylic base. The Desoto bumper was completely stripped and coated with the clear urethane basecoat included in the kit. Using different colored basecoats will result in varying shades from stainless to chrome. 2. It's very durable. It isn't a metallic paint in the normal sense. It can be handled and doesn't rub off or dull like Molotow, which is an ink. Fingerprints can be wiped off with a soft cloth. 3. For modeling use, it doesn't require a clear coat. Miracle Clear is available for use on items which will be used outdoors, like MC helmets, bumpers and rims. 4. It can be ordered HERE. Click on "Hobby Kit" in the lower right. If the price scares you, a little goes a very long way. The 2 0z. hobby kit is enough to re-chrome a whole lot of parts. It's far more economical than paying out the wazoo to achieve the same result from chroming services. Additionally, you don't have to waste time mounting the parts before you send them out and there is no weeks-long turnaround.

Pray tell, citizen, who be they?
