thanks

about 5 oz. I used 4.5 oz for my ZM He219.

Anyone ever use a paint shaker?

Several online hobby shops are selling the P51 and FW190 (released last summer) for $20.

Stick a fork in ALL-GO?

Bad Cat Toys has decals specifically for 21st Century 1:32 http://www.badcattoys.com/1scvede1.html

There's another side to this story http://www.modelingmadness.com/wingscalesaga.htm a really nice blog site for scale modeling made a great comment (quote from a TV show) regarding this story between WXL and H-K. "Understanding is a three-edged sword. Your perspective, their perspective, and the tr...

I agree with that 100% Cleaning my Eclipse is as simple as cleaning an M-16, strip it down, clean it off, lube it up, slap it back together and you're back in business. Compressor-wise I use an Iwata Studio Series Sprint Jet and I have no complaints. It is quiet (quieter than my spray booth fan), it...

Am ramping up my bench for a return to scale modeling. Paint selection must be acrylic, albeit I will have a pass for Alclad paint use for NMF. Am leaning towards Vallejo based on numerous recommendations and pre mixed colors. (my focus will be WWII planes 1:32) That said, any feedback on airbrush s...

am hoping to see a Super Tucano kit in 1:32 in near future.

Anyone use Red Pegasus Decals? http://www.redpegasusdecals.com/index.htm

Any quality issues...good or bad? Would love some feedback

Thanks - Rick

Any update on ALL-GO Toys future 1/32 scale aircraft production?

TKO - Thanks for the feedback on these discussion points. Your efforts to probe All-Go and get answers for this forum is much appreciated. I can appreciate the legal hoops on copyright, etc All-Go is going through. The labor cost in China is indeed increasing at an incredible rate (same is happening...

I bought the planes, I like the planes. I like to repaint prebuilt. However, my stand is: All-Go's marketing decision making truly needs to be questioned. All-Go positioned itself as a Phoenix risen from the ashes. We as consumers expected new branding and received neither. Only suspicion and disapp...

My P-51's arrived. Am stashing 2 and use the rest for repaints using "weighted wheels" to replace those skinny wheels. Look for my posts late fall or early 2012. Going to be a Stay At Home Dad for about 18 months and am looking forward to resurrecting a fun pastime. Here is the lowdown: Packaging is...

Love your custom work on the 1:18's.

What is your source for the 1:18 decals?

Look forward to hear from you.

Best - Rick

have some 51's due this week, will post follow up when i get 'em.

Nice!

Did you ever wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat thinking you were being watched?

Here is one more, this one I ended up selling on Ebay. http://inlinethumb64.webshots.com/41343/2608656360036857008S500x500Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb54.webshots.com/4725/2145468110036857008S500x500Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb49.webshots.com/31600/2484953660036857008S500x500Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb11...

very nice repaints on those 190's. you can never run short of paint configurations for these.

Good luck and have fun. Hope to see the finished piece. Molon Lave, thanks for the link. i've seen that build before and the underside looks a little off (the US Army font looks a little wide), but it will help when it comes time for painting. Now, if only I could also figure out how to fabricate th...

Nooker21 Check out this link for your P40 Pearl Harbor effort. This will give you some guidelines for decals. http://www.p40warhawk.com/Models/Builds/PhillipGore/P-40B/P-40B.htm I recommend you secure SuperScale 1/32 P40E decals #MS320247. You can get the national insignia for this plane. You will h...

am stoked about the Tamiya 1/32 51D release.

Mikeyt - nice job on the Passion Wagon P51. How did you remove the prop? Internally (on the 21st Cen 51 with wings removed) I can see a phlps head screw assumption this holds the prop in place. Any pointers would be helpful. Also enjoyed viewing your gallery. Noticed at yellow Henry J in background ...

Appreciate the camaraderie, Snake . For sure, I too am looking forward to the updates. I see great possibilities with the 21st Century rebuilds. I have over 30 aircraft and about 15 tanks/guns. Most I purchased beginning about 3-4 years ago. Many I picked up for under $15 at WalMart. I envisioned re...

Thank you all for your responses. A big "atta boy" to you Harry, your time and effort on my behalf is most appreciated. Hopefully I can return the favor to all of you. Plan to begin repainting some of my 21st Century x32's soon. Will most likely start with some 51's and give it a "Red Tail" look (51...
