Dr_PepPeR Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 thanks for considering the offer. do let me know if you have second thoughts.... You mentioned these are kits of your country's air force. Are you Indian? Quote Link to comment
driftingman Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 You mentioned these are kits of your country's air force. Are you Indian? good line of thinking - but how could I be when indian never had acceess to US technologies until recently - they could not have had f86s or f104s. and never ever u2s. ps: not all these and other were in my country's airforce. some operated out of there. and some u had to watch out for as they were on the other side!

I thought it was the Tamiya kit at first. I would have made mine more weathered. It's a good way for me to disguise my assembly and painting mistakes. More pix please! Quote Link to comment

Then you are Taiwanese. The Mirage 2000 threw me off. I didn't know Taiwan operated them. Shows you how much I know. Not all of the kits have ROC markings. Wouldn't it be cool if the decals could be found and the planes built as ROC birds? I always thought that the Mirage 2000 was a cool jet: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/fe/Les_Chevaliers_du_ciel_poster.jpg/441px-Les_Chevaliers_du_ciel_poster.jpg Edited November 13, 2006 by Dr_PepPeR Quote Link to comment

taxi508 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Yes of course. Pretty clear case of AMS. Strange how the stories are mostly alike, starting with the hobby at a young age, putting it aside when girls are discovered and then going back to it when you have the funds to splurge on it. I remember using Duco cement as a kid. When I was assembling a 1/48th plane, the instructions said to put some weight on the nose so it wouldn't be a tail sitter. Of course, I glued a rock inside the nose cone with a generous dollop of Duco cement (the more the merrier right?). The next day I found that the nose on the tabletop, looking as if it had gone limp, thanks to all the Duco cement. Ah, Duco Cement. Yessir, I remember thee well. Siyempre Revell (Red Yellow and Blue tube) was the preferred cement but Duco. That sweet and sharp smell which, not only melted my radar antennae, strengthened my lungs. Now, spray painting fumes don't even bother me. Hehehe Speaking of weights, what do you use to weigh down your kits? Me, I use BB pellets and white glue. It does take time to set up. I also use it to keep 1/16 figures standing. Siyempre, the more kakulitan to buy, the better. Mwahahahaha. Quote Link to comment

I loved the smell of enamel paints better, especially the Testor's label. I also use white glue and fishing weights. I can hammer the weights to almost any shape and besides, the oval ones are perfect for most aircraft noses. I just have to remember not to wash my model too often. The water melts the white glue.

Enamal ng Testor's, putsa Doc, your a man after my heart. Grabe I think I still have those empty bottles (glass pa with white cap). Hay, ang sarap mag-reminisce. Ever made An Aurora kit? What's your take on the new Revell kits? Tamiya's He219 Uhu had a great review on the nose-weight that they provide with the kit. Galing nga naman. Quote Link to comment
