  1. Hi guys. I'm extremely frustrated with my Aztec airbrush, especially when it comes to spraying acrylic paint. I get a lot of clogging and drying problems. Can y'all recommend a good double-action for spraying acrylic hobby paint, for around $100 +/-? Or would a single-action be better? I build mostly 1/72 Mecha and 1/48 jets. I switched to acrylic paint mostly for convenience of cleaning, and have had no luck with the Aztec and Gunze Aqueous. Thanks!
  2. You are correct - those captions are so off they are like Beat poetry or something! I hope he enjoys his game, but I can't agree with any of his opinions or decisions.
  3. is pretty happy.

  4. Your model is gorgeous! As to the blast effects - would *you* enjoy seeing them? *You* are the most important person to consider in a case like this. Plus, you could always label the base if you get tired of explaining! Question:Would you sell copies of your decal sheet? I could really use those NUNS markings!
  5. Looks good,Micky. I'd say you've hit a major milestone on this kit. It's great to see it coming along. Mods, would you sticky this please? MickyG's thread is a great example of how to tackle a VF-25.
  6. I second this request for build-up threads! Reuben, these models are absolutely beautiful!
  7. She's a beauty already, Cap! I almost can't wait to get her.
  8. Thanks Micky. Things are going well. I have a little time to internet, but I'd hate to be arm deep in a kit if she needed me. Back to normal soon, it looks like.
  9. Hi guys. No pix yet - I've got a health problem in the family. Soon as I can, though, I'll be back on this.
  10. Hey man, you need to look here:Link to MasterCheng's old WIPs and go to the 2nd page and download it as a .pdf. It's worth it!
  11. VF-19A+ Build Thread No pix (yet), but kit washed and thread started!
  12. Okay Everyone, I've given the kit a bath & scrub in good warm soapy water, and I'm ready to start! No pix yet, maybe later today, but I'm building the Hasegawa 1/48 YF-19 as an operational VF-19A+ from SVF-143 "The Pukin' Dawgs". I'm using Jasmine Models Photo etch set for the YF-19, purchased from our very own newca, plus Fightertown Decals for the Pukin' Dawgs markings and probably some anime girl nose art I got from Starship Modeler. I believe there are no external differences between a YF-19 and a VF-19A, if anyone has evidence to the contrary, please let me know! I'm also planning this as a diorama, showing a somewhat weary NUNS -19 undergoing pre-takeoff checks sometime in 2060. This is mainly an excuse to put a simple base under the VF to protect it, and a few figures for detail and interest. The VF-19A+ paint-scheme will be similar to a modern day FA-18E, overall light or medium gray, maybe a little less worn than a jet. Pix soon!
  13. Just because I have so many 1/72 Macross kits. If they did a 1/48 VF-11, I'd buy 2, but I still want the 1/72 version!
  14. David, my gut feeling is to leave it alone for a few months, and then get a glosscoat on it. I'm hoping it'll "harden". Maybe the others will have a better thought.
  15. I'm actually thinking of doing a "Powder Puff" after thinking about this post you made, Chronocidal. I also have some great Su-27 references.
