Full agreement > > The Hasegawa Starfighters..... Always liked the 'Lawn Dart' > > The C-A Blenheims...... EYYUCHH!! Pretty in the box, but Classic still sucks for the money. I am surprised that the 1/48 Albatros never made it as 'Kit of the Year', nor the current 1/72 Eduard OT kits. How about the new 1/48Pfalz D.IIIa? However, when Eduard brings out the 1/48 Camel, we probably have a better shot - name recognition amongst the masses. > This is beyond belief. No it ain't. They pick all sorts of dumb stuff as 'Kit of the Year'. Notice that the AM Sturmoviks and Avengers are still quite available, as are the Swordfish. And the Yak that they named the year before last was a pain in the ass to build - it turned some guys off of AM kits. Seeing as how Squadron is also MMD, the notorious gyp artists, I am not surprised. What it probably means is that they got more of these kits in than expected, and the only way that they can figure to move them is to hype them. C'est la commerce! OTOH, as I have flown in these little birds (MD-80's) quite a bit, I'll probably do a couple (you should see my FedEx 727 - I had fun, and was able to visit the local air freight terminal to take pics of FedEx birds). Actually, I'd rather a good DC-9, as before the airlines were all consolidated, there were lots of pretty airline livery schemes. Ozark Airlines for instance. Southern Airlines (NO, they didn't have Confederate flags on the wings and the pilots did not chew tobacco - that was the stewardess' job: 'Skoal, Copenhagen, or Red Man'?).

Message-ID: <3A3BB19E.DCDBDDFF@bellsouth.net> Hi All, I know that the Hi-Tech Roland has been in-boxed to death, and whatnot. So I won't offer another one here. But I will say that the plastic on my copy has the grainy texture mentioned by others. But it's nothing a coat of primer and a little bit of wet sanding won't fix in a jif. and since all the louvres and surface detail on the fuselage is pe, then it's not even an issue of losing detail. All in all, I'm glad to have it in my collection. And thanks everyone who sent(will send)conga-rats to Colleen and HB's to me. Also and, at the risk of starting another international debate(so please don't), tomorrow(or today for those in Oz) is the anniversary of that wonderful achievement of Orvil and Wilbur's,(and I'm gonna leave it at that). So let's all raise a glass to the original fly boys remember them fondly. And Monday, the 18th, is Kieth Richards birthday, so raise a glass, load a bong, run a half pipe load, or do whatever you think is appropriate for celebrating the birth of the best rhythm guitar player in the world.

So you were born the same year I left home joined the Air Force? I swear I had nothing to do with it! A friend of mine, Derek Pennington, has produced some excellent aluminum finishes. Given the recent threads on turned finishes and Junkers monoplanes, it seems appropriate to pass his method on - with due credits and the assumption that he won't mind the glare of publicity. "About the high gloss silver finish that I use. Use any gloss enamel paint-acrylics do not work. I have found that the dilutant does not matter, I have used Modelmaster Thinners with their gloss paints, and it works fine. The emphasis here is on the finish, the paint must go on as smooth as milk. Let it dry for 90 mins, naturally, no forced drying. Any sooner and the finish is dull, any later and the SNJ powder just slides off, although others have said they can do it days later. It is not my experience. Colour of the gloss paint does not seem to matter, although I prefer to use a light colour, such as grey. Once the waiting period is over, using a cotton ball, apply the powder lightly. Remember that the finish is quite delicate. Use lots of powder and keep working it in, and you will see how the finish starts to come up. When covered overall, put the model aside for at least a week. This allows the paint to harden, then using the cotton balls polish the finish lightly, removing the excess powder. Keep polishing, as the finish will start to work harden, and eventually you will be able to mask and paint and handle the model without leaving marks.. The uncanny thing is, when the model is cool, it feels just like aluminium." Any other methods?

He never has any Proctor kits or anything else OT in the big stuff, but he has a fair selection of plastic. Nothing really esoteric, though. There's a hobby shop in Lakeland that has some more stuff, that's Marchant's (SP?) Hobby Shop. I think Happy Hobo has the best selection of paint around, but not much OT stuff since he's an HO kind of guy. But he did sell me my first Guillow's kit in 1974, so I do have a warm spot for that place. House of Hobbies? Good selection, just bring a flashlight. That place is definitely from another time. Definitely worth a visit Steve Perry mentioned the other places around, so this might be a wrap for the hobby stuff here.

Good selection, just bring a flashlight. That place is definitely from another time. Definitely worth a visit. And in light of the other hobby shop stories lately, worth a description. The building used to be an old gas station / country store 1940's vintage with an overhang extending out over where the pump used to be. You enter through a wooden frame door that sticks a bit. The first thing you notice is the smell. Balsa, cardboard and dust...a Real Hobby Shop! The cieling is hung about with hundreds and I mean hundreds of models. Plastic, stick and tissue, monokoted monsters, more than you have ever seen in one place before. Right up front is a huge Nie.11 Bebe, (Proctor kit maybe). The stacks of kits go higher than a 6 foot man can reach and the isles between are so narrow that two people must turn sideways to pass. Somewhere up front in a jumble of boxes, radios, kits and aincient cash register sits Bob the proprioter (also 1940's vintage). Here he holds court and does his wheeling and dealing. I've never seen him move from that spot, yet he can direct one of his helpers to any item in the store. He has the best OT selection in the area but that still isn't more than a few Eduards, Tokos and an Omega kit or two, but if you are ever in Clearwater Florida, you owe yourself a visit. A truly unique hobby shop and do bring your flashlight ;-). sp ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Dec 2000 22:40:50 +0000 From: pugs99@att.net To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: Airbrushes Message-ID: <20001216224051.ULFR20084.mtiwmhc26.worldnet.att.net@webmail.worldnet.att.net> Hi Neil, I have tried the Paasche Turbo and think that it is overkill, if you don't already have one. I got mine used, at a great price and have used it for quite sometime. If you want a much lower priced and in my opinion, maybe the best overall airbrush for modeling, look at the Paasche VL model. It can be used for very fine lines, very thin coats, and good coverage for overall painting. You can get it for under $80US. I had this airbrush long before I got the AB Turbo and find I use it the most. Just my opinion.....

He has an amazing memory for what he has and exactly where it is in there. I've gone in asking for some obscure part, and usually it's produced in a few minutes. But it's great just to wander around and look at the stuff. He did have all three of the big Hasegawa kits over the door at one time. Drool... One time I saw him at a model contest walking around...it somehow looked strange to see him out of his element!
