Kylwell

er, any plane that has coolant? Just trying to simulate that neon green look car coolant (and the small aircraft I've worked with) has.

I use either Tamiya smoke or clear red and a really fine brush. I use the smoke for oil and the red for hydraulic fluid. Don't know what I'd use for coolant. Anybody make a clear neaon green/yellow?

Hey Kylwell, what's this you're working on? Great looking scratched engine thingy. 397536[/snapback] That's the Project From Hell. Due at Wonderfest. 2 weeks away. Der Hirschkäfer, a 1:20 scale flying tank for the Ma.K. universe.

1. Could be. Could also be from the same people that said Tamiya & Gunze paint are the same. And just because the same manufacturer makes them doesn't make them the same. BMW used to produce a sub-compact econobox, doesn't mean is was a 3 series BMW. 2. Because there is so much less travel on the air part of the switch, control is very tricky. Takes a much finer touch to regulate airflow. 3. Matching paint to plastic is very difficult. It's possible, but not easily so. Most plastic is slightly translucet, giving a depth to the color that paint can't match. 4. Should be, just watch how thin your paints are and keep your air pressure on the lower side. 5. Potentually. Without a reglator you're stuck spraying at whatever pressure the compressor puts out, likely between 30 & 50 psi. This is very high pressure for painting. The highrer pressure can lead to paint drying before it hits plastic leaving you with a sandpaper like texture. See if you can find a decent regulator, it makes all the difference in the world.

Not a problem. There's always the future.

Yeah but I dinna read them. Thanks, I'll keep it on order.

electric indigo, how is that Banshee kit? I love the look of it, even have one on order with SSM, but have been curious as to the look & fit. And thanks.

wow

Back to the PFH. Got some engine work done. and started on the dashboard

I still have some of the original 'transforming' Imai Valks. Nice kits but fragile. Even the true original one with white metal parts was fragile. The Revell re-pop was worse with plastic parts. Wee, the landing bay doors opened but were poorly detail and the LG was quite chunky. It could transform but only with a spare forward fusalage and lots of patience. Plastic is only so strong and you can only do so much with it. I'd rather have a beautful static model than a moveable so-so one. Just my opinion.

I'm good with a dry fit. Don't need a build-up review, just an OOB review. Had to scale back my plans for world domination also. Going to just try for Alaska. Lotsa real estate, less people to subjugate.

I will admit, and this is simply because it's a tall amount of money to come up with (and it's being tight right now), I'm waiting to hear of a review of it before I plunk my cash down. Had an unexpected set of bills come in and everything's getting tight.

IIRC the Yam Valks are 1:48 scale. A bit easier to to do at larger scales.

It was theh hands that really tipped me off. Those stubby three fingered Bender hands.

A bat'roid arm and some really long Bender arms?

Ah much better....much better. Sha'weet!

Why is it all I get is three images that say "This site is not supported"?

Baby's got back! Nicely done.

More jahoobular goodness.

It's because it's got a mime type of "text/plain" for some reason, it's probably a server configuration error. Browsers that behave themselves render it as plain text because it says it's plain text. Browsers that are hideously broken (such as, say, Internet Explorer) will just try and render HTML out of it anyway, which is probably why it doesn't look broken to Kylwell. 386633[/snapback] 'cept I'm on Safari.

Huh, works for me.... Let me check it another way.

I've got a spare MF floating around and keep thinking about a conversion. Even more radical than the stock YT-1300 I did. Bigger engines, more guns...

Then do something different with it.

Ok, my list. VFS-2 Star Child VF-T-11 VA-X-3 VF-X-7 Ghost AF-49 Silver Axe BG-5C Fatman LV-7 Valorious Rapier "Excalibur" Neo Glaug Ghost X-9 VC-33 Mom's Kitchen SC-27 Star Goose FL-200 Mistral Comanchero Avenger II VEFR-1 Electronic Warfare Valkyrie OCTOS I too hit MAHQ for ideas.
