Hi all

This is ggggrrrreaaat!  I've been out in the workshop for the last three
nights and I'M BUILDING AGAIN!!!
One ot NAVY gunslinger for a customer
one ot  mach-1 supersonic research Tamiya for me
one OT (hold your breath) Glenco AH Alb D-III for me and it's three years
old and therefore prelist
one OT Testors SPAD to practice list lessons,
one ot TV rock group auto
And a mold for my Big r/c blimp cars
MAN THIS IS FUN AGAIN!

Just some questions, are all Tamia decals pathetic? I've only ever bought
two Tami kits, and the decals in this little rocket are too big , and very
translucent.  US stars are cream on orange.  very disappointing for the
price.

And for those of you who like me are brave, dumb, or just don't care a lot,
and do try to do something with those Glenco kits.  Specifically use the
Scale Master decals.  Follow the very old advice to cut off as much of the
clear carrier film as possible. These decals leave VERY HEAVY white milky
residue when you slide them off the paper.  So the less carrier the better

YMMV,

PLANCHETTE DE BORD Dish of the day - as great gastronomes the French would take 7-course meals aloft with them and the startled Hun pilots would run into themselves in confusion as they compared such wonderful cuisine with their own ersatz krap. The planchette was the clip-on tray that attached to the cockpit rather like a drive-in tray. cloche a huile The French terror-bombers caused distress by noise bombing the population. Later copied by sirens on Stukas etc. The Salmson carried a 10-ton cast iron bell below its undercart and had a special tube down which oil would be poured to ensure maximum decibellage. emplacement projete A form of relief tube. The solid matter was despatched in the from of projectiles down the emplacement on the heads of "les sales boches". Cries of "Oh Scheiss! es ist noch ein Scheissbomber!" could sometimes be heard as far as the south coast of England. Support de Porte cartes Great gamers the French. Often they whiled away the ennui with a hand of bridge and erected a special card table on the opposite side from the planchette de bord.

Kid's water colors don't work that good since the pigments are not as fine as artist quality stuff. I use Polly S Airbrush thinner, but any acrylic thinner will work including rubbing alcohol. Do not use water (even with flow/wetting agents), it is a horrible thinning agent as the surface tension causes big problems. The big benefit to this technique is you do not have to apply a clear coat. Apply right on top of your regular paint job (flat, glossy, doesn't matter), let it dry, then clean it up with a clean cloth (or cotton swab or whatever!) with only a drop of water applied to the cloth. Screw up (not me!) and just put it in the sink and wash it right off with water. Doesn't harm the underlying paint job in any way and you never have to worry about "melting" the underlying paint no matter how much you put on. After you are done, seal it with your favorite clear coat to preserve it. Super easy, give it a try, and it's foolproof (if I can't screw it up it can't be done!).

OK, so they're tanks, thus, 3 dimensional - good - I'll be able to make something to represent them. I did indeed notice the gravity fuel tank was missing, at least from the RE5 that I wanted to model - the tank piece is still in the vac sheet. Yes, I have been pondering over the control wheel, which appears to have a little wheel within it! Again, I'll figure something out to make it.

Again, I'll figure something out to make it. For the smaller wheel, look to model railroad 'N' gauge photoetch. I have a fret of 'N' wheels (for hand brakes, etc.) and they should work.
