I would then progress to 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1500 grits, if I was doing a metal finish. I skip some of these now that I have the hang of what I am doing, but this assortment of sandpaper is really nice to have around. Then for a final polish, I use Colgate's Winterfresh Gel toothpaste on the model polishing with fingers and an old cotton cloth. This toothpaste has a very fine abrasive and will take out the finest scratches and leave a very smooth suface. Don't use the stuff with baking soda. There are some large boulders in the abrasive with will create scratches. I have always wanted to try some cerium oxide optical polish, but I might as well get fitted for that straight jacket at the same time. I think there are commercial plastic polishes, but I am satisfied with this method. Matt, I have never seen 3200, or 12000 grit. That must be some fine sandpaper! As far as filling is concerned, I have gotton away from the puttys and just use CA most of the time. I have had trouble thinning applying and getting a smooth finish using the puttys. The one big problem with CA, is with a Metalizer finish. The metaliser does not adhere well to CA. Anyone else with some thoughts on using these fillers?

I skip some of these >now that I have the hang of what I am doing My choices: 150 for removing vacuform mega-flash 360 for reshaping, as in recontouring wing tips, etc. 600/800 (it doesn't matter, either will do) for smoothing a surface. Naturally, always wet sand. Water acts as a lubricant, keeping the sandpaper from clogging. Using clogged up s-paper is bad news. The clogged areas are raised areas and will scratch the surface of your work as you sand. >Then for a final polish, I use Colgate's Winterfresh Gel toothpaste on >the model polishing with fingers and an old cotton cloth. If I have to prepare a surface that will take a metallic paint: First make sure that there are no big scratches. Do this by going over the area with a permanent ink marker (don't allow the ink to go into recessed panel lines) and wet sand the area with 600/800, effectively removing the ink and showing any large scratches. Scratches that remain are really deep ones and need to be filled. I remove the ink from the scratch with an appropriate solvent and add a tiny, tiny bit of super glue where the scratch is. I sand the glue flush with 600/800. Finally, I use metal polish in tissue paper to buff the surface. You can use the above procedure when working on clear parts but do away with the permanent marker bit. Scratches on clear parts are plainly visible anyway. When sanding clear parts, nice fresh sandpaper with a lot of water is ideal. Apply only a minimum of pressure when sanding. This is imperative with injection moulded clear parts because they are very brittle. If you apply too much pressure, you may not break the part but you might cause very many small cracks within the clear part that will make it look slightly clouded over. In short, go easy on clear parts. >As far as filling is concerned, I have gotton away from the puttys and >just use CA most of the time. Like me! Good choice. I even use CA to glue clear parts on, especially if the clear part should blend in with the rest of the opaque parts. What I do is I dry fit the part onto the model, add just a tiny amount of super glue to a few areas of the join (spot gluing), letting it dry before adding more. The clear part fogging over? This will happen due to the fumes caused by too much glue being applied. Keep on spot gluing until you seal the join completely. When the join is sealed, you can add more super glue to the join to fill it in. Smoothen via wet sanding and buff the area as above. I've built a 1/200 airliner using superglue entirely to fill the windows in. It works.... ********************************************************************* Joey Valenciano WW1 modeller, teacher, jazz musician, joeyval@pusit.admu.edu.ph sitarist tel.

The catalogue lists sheet 48-1 (actually 2 sheets, from the Salmson) at 20.00USD. Shows whole kit at 34.95. I got the catalogue in my Salmson kit (for 29.95) from AvUsk who are on the web at http://www.povn.com/avusk I conducted my business by e-mail with Don Fisque at avusk@povn.com but if Barry can get them now, I wish I'd known beforehand. The transfers are comprehensive and pretty good - They are just a little bit cartoonish but not enough to worry about - (this is only very slight criticism). I will certainly use them on the 2A2 and one of the old Breguets (one has to be French though).

If it's still displayed the same, I expect you'd have to make prior arrangements to photo it up close. The museum is located on Eglin AFB. This is in the Pennsecola area, but I'm not familiar enough with the area to give directions. Call the Eglin information number and I'm sure they could put you through to the museum.

Since those who have admitted their problem are all Brailler's, all of you must build and correct either the Merlin 1/48th Albatros D.II, or the Glencoe Oeffag Albatros D.III. That will start your road to perdition... Matt Bittner _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

I have thrown away the literature that comes with the stuff, so I can't be 100% sure. You can buy a whole kit that comes with 3200, 4000, 6000 and 12000 grit sandpaper, as well as a very fine plastic polish. The idea behind the kit is to create a perfect finish to automotive models.
