    Hi from Cork Ireland

    Welcome Murph from Galveston Texas Sorry to hear about your current rig. Sounds like it has just plain gone arseways But don’t give up. I’m fairly ancient an have gone through a number of air brushes. Tamiya has one on Amazon for $88 US. Performs better than most of the really expensive ones...

    Arma Hobby P-39Q 1:48

    Don’t throw in the towel. I bought this kit then watched a YouTube video on the build. I decided right away not to build this kit. I built a Tamiya kit instead. They never disappoint. I did build the Hasegawa P-39 some time back. A very pleasant build… zero filler! But you do have to provide...

    Best place in Canada to order photo etched & replacement parts.

    I have ordered from and had good results from Ultracast. They are located in Ontario. They have more decals, resin, and gun barrels. But they do have PE too. Hope this helps

    Low tack masking tape pulling off paint.

    I used to massacre many a paint job from lifting paint. I haven’t tried my forehead, but pressing and lifting the tape on the bottom of my forearm numerous times to reduce the adhesion to almost nil will work for all model paints. All the best

    Return to model building after 43 years, having a blast, sad I ever quit....

    I have been back at it for a while now. I use mostly Tamiya paints because of availability. I use a mix of 75% IPA (standard rubbing alcohol) 25% polypropylene mixture as a thinner. This prevents spitting and tip drying for my air brush. This is also super cheep compared to the manufacturer thinners

    I think the only remaining hobby shop in Houston is G&G Model Shop. Pretty nice selection of new and older models. I’m still learning to navigate this site. Good to see kindred spirits.
