Tamiya Spray paints
No I did not spray Enamel over acrylic. I sanded the tail down and cleaned it with naptha. I did not use primer because it distorts the detail in the panel lines,etc. I have been building models for over 30 years, and as a profession for 10 years. The only time I have ran into this is when you try t...

Plotter. Vinyl Cut? or Print?
Is your plotter a vinyl cutter? or a printing plotter? If you have a vinyl machine you would probably be best suited to a paint mask material bought at any Sign Supply Store. If the plotter is for architectural Drawings etc. You would be best served plotting on the paint mask and then hand cut. Most...

Canopy Fix
No offense to themanthegreat but if you get superglue any where near clear plexi its going to fog up on you. Th only way to avoid it is to use a "Zip Kicker" on the glue immediatly after and then there are no promises it still won't fog. What I tried was to get some of the Blue Poster Putty take a s...

Bad Taste?
I can understand being a little upset with JSI. My Tomcat came to me missing the Arrestor hook and houseing and the ECM houseings under the leading edge. They sent me the arrestor hook and houseing. Nothing so far on the ECM recievers. But in this day and age when there are absolutely no body doing ...

Bombcat
Actually I am working on turning My Tomcat into a VF-103 "BombCat"
I will be arming it with a couple of 2000lb LGB's and the Flir pod. I am working on the F110GE-400 afterburner cans as I write this. I will Post some pics when I get a little further along.

Spot removal
On the F/a-18 I used Naptha to remove
alot of the spotty spray. But Be warned
If there is paint under the spot it will remove it. do a test spot.
