    ICM Spitfire Mk.IX - PE

    Definitely. I did a fair amount of research on the RR Merlin in advance which kind of helped but the complexity of it in reality depleted my appreciation for the quality of the kit even more.. It’s a remarkable engine.

    ICM Spitfire Mk.IX - PE

    So I’m already regretting my decision to pick up this kit, but I I’ve already ordered PE for the cockpit which after putting together the engine, is sure to be a less than pleasant phase of this build. Since getting back into modeling I’ve done 3 kits. First a Revel Dauntless that sat for 19...

    ICM Spitfire Mk.IX - PE

    Just picked up this 1:48 ICM Spitfire mk.ix on eBay and was trying to find some PE and any resin parts to try and give it some upgrades. I found this PE set from Eduard, but ICM has a few different 1:48 mk.ix's and nothing I could find specifies which version it’s compatible with. I’m...

    I think this qualifies as construction - it is wood

    Smart. I probably would’ve figured that out the hard way.

    French FT-17 1/35 Meng Kit

    Tamiya Me-262 A1

    Wow! Nice detail work! I used their decals on a bf109 and almost took them off for the same reason.

    What would you recommend I use to thin GX-100, GX 114 and the like?

    Quick shine gloss coat problems.

    I'm glad I asked. This is all starting to make sense. Here's the stuff I've been using. It seems to work fine and hasn't caused any issues that Im noticeably aware of. Now, I did experience the "snot" reaction you mention when trying to use Mr Color GX100 for the gloss goat after laying down...

    Quick shine gloss coat problems.

    Can you elaborate on this in laymen’s terms? I failed chemistry in HS…and actually tried. I got the “do not use” part, but I’ve found that 50% isopropyl alcohol works great for an initial AB wipe down and then i flush with the stuff that is labeled “airbrush cleaner, which seems to do the...
