Found into my old sparebox, a cracked & damaged 1/48 scale fire extinguisher could be also be upgraded to become the metal oval shaped tank found into the main landing gear bay, known as the Halon 1301 (also known as Bromotrifluoromethane CBrF3, which is a an organic halide to provide fuel cell inerting to protect the fuel system from explosions due to combat threats) reservoir. Filling the gap with epoxy cream, sticking it on a nail and spin it with the Dremel tool against different types of sandpapers was enough to make it look like the real one.

Where do you live? It is reported that some forum members cannot view the pictures uploaded on http://imagehosting.gr. I found out that the problem appears on users from Australia or SE Asia. I am sure that all the other forum members have no problem.vince_chua wrote:Can't see the picsSounds amazing though.
...on the other hand, yes "its sounds amazing". Just like the 1/18 scale autogyro scratchbuild model building article I upload the day before yesterday and later been deleted (by admin?) with no further explanation. Probably the "Customs & Mods" title doesn't stand for totally scratchbuild projects. On the other hand, to see what I am talking about, check the following pictures.

Wow! Are you a professional model maker? That little plane was built from scratch? Wow!!!
Hope you can host the pics somewhere else coz it really sounds AMAZING!!! just by reading your posts.
The amount of work done and skill involved is incredible.

SE Asia, as I said before. I am really sorry that users from Australia or SE Asia cannot view the pictures, but please understand that it is not my fault. For some reason... it is just happens.vince_chua wrote:Hi I'm from Singapore.It's a pity I can't see the pics.
No! As you know, a professional scale model maker is obligated to build models under any circumstances, to earn his living. On the other hand, I prefer not to combine pleasure with obligation and keep scale modeling to a "hobby" level and be happy about itvince_chua wrote:Are you a professional model maker?

Yes! It's a totally scratchbuild project.vince_chua wrote:That little plane was built from scratch?
Already tried photobucket and imageshack but I was totaly disappointed. You see, photobucket has a very limited (25Mb if not mistaken) bandwidth and after some hundred clicks, the pictures cannot be viewed. As for the imageshack, the pictures can be disappeared without warning.vince_chua wrote:Hope you can host the pics somewhere else

I am always amazed at the model builders than can build from scratch.
Fantastic job on the autogyro, Nick.
Thanks for posting, and being persistent so we can see your great work.
