Dave, I'm sorry to say it but it's you. Just kidding! I wouldn't take it personal. Maybe everyone is busy with Memorial Day weekend plans and celebrations here in the US.

Nice job! BTW, what is rain?

Thanks!

What color paint did you use to match the stripes?

Same here.

I think it's worth it just for this use.

I've had the same problem with residue from the Press N Seal. I managed to get it off but had to repaint the area. I highly recommend it to use on open containers of paint. After use, wipe the edge off, put a piece of PNS on it and screw the lid on. No more almost impossible to remove sticking lids.

Get yourself some stirring sticks. Panera Bread has nice ones. Get a roll of 2 sided tape with foam in the middle. Cut a strip of tape and stick it to the stirring stick. Put whatever grit of sandpaper you want on the tape. Trim the excess if you want. I like to leave a little so I can use the edge of the stick to sand tight places.

I A/B Testors Clears over decals and it works fine.

I use a plastic soft drink bottle. Put a piece of double sided tape on the cap and attach the body to it. I put some sand or gravel in the bottom of the bottle to aid in stability. I had a pic on the forum here but can't find it.

Nitrile is all I use. Never have had a problem. I always spray my models with a solution of 80% distilled water and 20% isopropyl alcohol (91%) and dry with compressed air before painting.

I think you answered your own question, Skip. Different browser.

Great work! I've got one that's about 90% done with the exception of the floor pan and it's attached parts. It was warped and I managed to break it. I'll try again sometime to finish it and hope it comes out as nice as yours.

Great job! This model was the first one I finished when I returned to the hobby. It's an easy build and one that I recommend for beginners or as a confidence booster, if needed. At the time I finished mine, I needed a boost after a few failures.

Go Big Orange! Cool stuff!

I was just thinking, why does he have a shipping charge with a price like that? Maybe he meant 99 cents and fell asleep on the 9 button.

I believe that the sanding cloths contain silicone. As Bill said, that will cause fisheyes. Follow his recommendation and WASH THOROUGHLY! I always use Dawn. Get the blue stuff with no moisturizers in it.

+1 I paint with lacquers and they're tough to remove. You might also need to use a stiff bristle brush with the alcohol on some places.

Great work!

I like this place. http://www.hobbylinc.com

Some use the small metal ferrules that you can find in the sewing section at Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Michael's, etc.

I've got one of those that I just started. Still haven't decided what to do about the ridiculously large A pillar. It's looks totally out of scale.
