How did you do it? Dennis, Shane suggested I add some text to my pics in the gallery so I've emailed that off to Allan. Here's the part that pertained to the painting... " To paint the upper surfaces I first sprayed with Tamiya flat Desert Sand and then used a craft acrylic (JoSonja) burnt umber mixed with a lot of water and dabbed on with a damp Q-tip. I gradually used less water to create the darker areas. If you work fast enough it goes on "wet on wet" and blends together nicely."

As said, the 78's still holding up for me, and the 80s don't seem to like me. Will give a #79 a whirl - thanks! :) (Another query - the 80's about .004, maybe a smidgeon bigger; what are the measurements on the other two? Anoyone know?)

Yeah, when I snapped it off in the back of the D.Va, I had to get a round file and dig from inside the fuselage 'til that little bugger kicked out. Think I was luckier, with the Nieuport... it was a nice, long bit of bit that left. Still think I will definitely need #80s for 1:72... and probably interior rigging... trial and error...

Then, apply some Future Acrylic Floor Polish.(It has some other name in Europe..Kleer?) Then, I apply the top lozenge first and make it a little bit big so that it will wrap around the front edge. Then, I just cut the underneath to fit and lay it on top of the top lozenge that wrapped around. (Is this understandable?) Basic rule...you can't use too much Future. It works great to help the decals settle. > > > I also feel little bit clueless of wheel tyre colour? Should it be > light grey? Or something more like rlm 66?

They are very easy to break if you don't have the chuck close to the cutting edges. Early on, I would go through a couple dozen when rigging a plane. Kind of explains why I didn't rig many. When I first started using them, I had them ion a power tool and had about an inch of bit exposed. They would snap at the first hint of side pressure. I later found that by putting all but about 3/8 to 1/4 inch of the bit in the chuck they would last much longer. I then discovered the hand held jewelers pin vice. You don't have as much side pressure, can turn the bit slower and have a lot more control on the job. I got a couple of #80 bits from a welders supply place that are used to clean welding tips. They have the bit crimped in a larger piece to hold on to while cleaning the holes in the tips. They last quite a while, come in a variety of sizes. I got mine as samples a while back (when I was working in the hobby business) and have not found a ready source yet. I broke my last one so I now need to find a supplier and the cost. When I do, I will alert the list.
