Air compressors are dime a dozen. I got mine at Harbor Freight and it works for me. Hers a couple good sites: https://usaairbrushsupply.com/ https://spraygunner.com/ I’d check out USA Airbrush Supply and compare prices with Spray Gunner. Both are good sites. Another useful thing to get is...

Everybody knows enamels is oil based. Never water based. I use both enamel thinner and lacquer thinner when using enamel paints. Mostly enamels anyway. :) I have used lacquer thinner to thin acrylics as well.

ROFLMAO! Looks that way…. My go-to cross reference hobby paint conversion site is here: https://www.paint4models.com/Paint%20Conversion%20Chart%202010-2021.pdf This should be your Bible for hobby paint conversions, PERIOD!

Check in Scalehobbyist.com. Waaaay better than Hobby Lobby since they never have anything new. Aircraft kits are pretty non-existent there - no airliner kits at all. Other sites you can look into: Spruebrothers.com KitLinx.com Hobbylinc.com As far as airbrush goes, I highly recommend you...

Pfffftttt… you don’t know me well enough to call me laconic. I do tend to speak my mind whether they’re too sensitive or offended to deal with. I don’t have time for snowflakes who’s feelings gets hurt too easily. So yeah… I can be an a-hole, a b@$tard and ballsy. Ask my wife… she knows how I am...

I’ve heard stories of Vallejo colors tend to be way off on their color shades; I mean waay off especially their Federal Standard colors. I find Vallejo to leave a rubbery/vinyl feel once dried. I’ve got a few colors in my stash I won’t use. All new bottles, never been opened.

I did spy a 1/72 scale Monogram B-52 Stratofortress kit in one of the photos. Is it complete and unbuilt?

If you can put up photos of unbuilt kit boxes, you might garner some interests. Who knows… maybe something might catch my eye.

Both my dad and his brother (my uncle) both served in the Navy. My uncle was on the USS Independence during the Vietnam conflict in charge of the catapults. If I wasn’t hard of hearing, I would have continued the family name tradition of serving in the Navy. I wanted to enlist as either a Navy...

Keep in mind… during the early bombing runs; bombers were spread out. Once they reached their targets, the Luftwaffe would meet up with them and attack them from all directions thus causing the bombers to take evasive actions and not complete their bomb runs. Some return loaded or were shot...

I tend to stay away from anything Vallejo because they’re garbage. Even their liquid mask is utterly pure garbage. My go-to putty is Perfect Plastic Putty by Deluxe. It’s bulletproof, doesn’t crack, and easy to work with,sands using sandpaper or water. I use plain water to “sand” it down...

What’s in your stash? Nunya business. LOLZ!

None are valuable from what I see in your photos. Most are built kits which are going for really cheap - maybe a buck or two a piece at best. I don’t see anything worth getting for myself. Good luck with your endeavors.

No ritual at all except, I research more on the subject I’m working on, pick the scheme and the paint to use - not all paint color are alike (ie: Olive Drab FS34086 or any RLM color) by brand. Then I start building my subject. I do have one rule at my bench…. NO MUSIC. I don’t need distraction...

I have the same kit but not going to build it as the Fletcher. My build will be a long term build because I’m converting it as post war destroyer my dad was on during the 50s - USS Wadleigh.

I agree and I’ll never understand. It gives me the impression that the builder wants to exploit his work for monetary gain/greed rather than for his own enjoyment.

Read Big Week.

How many other films you claim the B-17 have been done to death? I only count one - Memphis Belle; although it is loosely based on real life but hyped up for Hollywood. That will not happen. This is Tom Hanks third and final series after BoB and The Pacific Faster than B17, longer range, and...

There are a lot of different books on the Mighty Eighth - including one I’m currently reading - Masters of the Air; so what’s the difference which one you read. I watched a documentary on National Geographic Channel, The Story of the Mighty Eighth, a very good documentary by the way. I highly...

Nice collection of warbirds.
