A much better version https://youtu.be/8tIdCsMufIY?si=BLOKJcq_j_QRb3wt

Emission of Acetic Acid from wood display cases (or cardboard boxes) will cause degradation of lead. Humidity will serve as an accelerant. In general, hardwoods are bad (though Birch/Teak is as good as a softwood) and softwoods are better (though not perfect, and Red Pine is as bad an offender...

One more video to share on this bird, the birth of helicopter warfare https://youtu.be/aK2P7xFQQU8

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the comments. One last photo, the model came in need of some minor repair at the rotor, but I couldnt help myself and redid the whole mechanism. Not painted yet, but the glue is dry

Just received the Korean War Sikorsky and it was suggested I post the photo here for the Korean War buffs. (Btw, the wife seriously liked this thing and wants it kept on our dining table!) to get in the mood, a short cute video with nyc artist Hale Gurland in the driver seat...

Still Pressing Issues? They must be VERY pressing. 11 out the 20 most recent posts are War Park.

No need to feel bad about it. It is historically accurate. This is field applied camo paint which covered the original markings

Thank you HR. I have learned my lesson.

Katana, you are starting to make me wonder. The TCS KT isnt even proportioned right

Katana, you are doing more harm than good by referring manufacturers to follow museum pieces. Some museums are better at color research than others, some restored tanks are better than others. You cant make these generalizations. The RAL WW2 colors exist in four locations in Germany. At RAL...

Cdc, I usually don't post here but your question has pulled a string in my heart. You seem new to WW2, you have certain criteria for what you want to collect, and models are too expensive now to be buying outside of your criteria. So let me offer the following: What Katana says is generally...

Dude, even the hinges on the side doors are different. Could it be your painter friend is sending you 'concept' pictures of what he plans to do? btw, that's all good too. Concepts are as interesting as finished products in this hobby

First question would be where did you get all the additional accessories in 1/30? But there are numerous other differences from the FL. The cupola is different inside and out, the bow machine gun is different, the top turret air vent is different, the tow hitch is different, the tow cables are...

It's a very nice model, but its not the FL F2

My deepest sympathies. Its times like this when mother nature is her cruelest, but thankfully you had Mayo in your back yard to fight back and give you and your family those special years.

I’m using Gary’s quote as an intro into this thread, but it’s not directed at Gary. But seeing how color has been brought up, and I have been involved with color research, and posts, and seeing the exasperation in Michael’s recent post, let me make a final comment on the Panther green, as the...

Rutledge, I have been reading your posts for years & you have never given me confidence in anything. In our current exchange, clearly one of us is Master, and one of us is Grasshopper. At my graduation ceremony, I remember the words of the speaker that day. "There are enough rich people in...
