So... you finally got pissed and BBQ'd the model? :p

:rotfl:

no...I'm on Summer halt with modeling, the heat is unbearable (sweaty hands, paint that dries on the brush before I'm able to put it on the model.)

will continue in the autumn as soon the temperature drops down.

Wow, who makes a 1/32 Ju-87G kit? Looks great!

Nice work on the Typhoon so far. That'll be impressive in 1/32.

As for me, I'm just gearing up with modeling. Central air is required, though.

Wups, my bad eyes!

I have the Rudel Stuka in a 1/48 Monogram. And even in 1/48, the Tiffie's still a big bird (one I also have as a 1/48 Monogram).

Thanks, well its not that dificult, only need to figure out to make nice curves with handbrushes. German camo is way easier like seen on the Stuka, just mask lines off with some masking tape.

1). Tamiya paintstand
2). 3 tubes of Tamiyas compunds(polish stuff)
3). 4 packages of "Tack-it"
4). 2 razorblades saw .

I love to mail-order , but it's dangerous:oops:
but you know , we modellers MUST HAVE:stare: :cool: :yep:
Oh yes, I must ask you a question .
I ordered 35 Testors acrylics:o :dead: are these good paints , I buyed them because it was low prize

[HunterICX]

:hmmm: Don't know since I use

Model Colour, Hobby colour and Tamiya Colour.

best way to try them is to take that part in the kit that isn't going to be used on the model (its an extra or left-over part) and try it.

at least thats how I should do it, and decide by the results.

Looking very nice. I did the 1/48 Hasegawa P40 Warhawk and it was one of the best kits I've ever done, both in looks and quality, it just went together like a dream. I always find that if the construction goes without a hitch, the finished model usually turns out better.

[SteamWake]

You have the painting skills for certain !

Nice job.

I actually have a Typhoon in the wings (box) awaiting the completion of Mr. Mulligan.
