Are you doing any 3d printing for this conversation?

Yes. the patterns for the canopy and early Lockheed style tip tanks will be 3D printed. Sparky at Parkflyer plastics has signed up to convert these patterns to vacuform tooling.

All finished, Minwaxed, set up and bench tested. Nothing new to see but here's where it'll hang for the next month or two waiting for all the snow/ice to melt.

QUIKSTOP.....Yes.

I was specifically ask for spares. I'm assuming that the shipment will include the models as well.

Very nice, Tooeleflyboy , the subtle shading really makes the aircraft "pop". Sometimes, less truly IS more. Well done and thanks for sharing!

Tooele makes good honey, that tastes to me like Tupelo honey even though they're thousands of miles apart. I dated a honey farmer over 20 years ago. Sweet memories.

LOL LOL Sick man, but funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha. Stay safe Brother!

I really do have over 100 planes that are ready to fly... I have 53 in the box... Please send help...………

[Hardway]

42 in the house!! My wife is a Saint

[Oxotnik]

92 planes in model memory. All but about 10 are still flying. I've only been in the hobby since late 2015. Hi, my name is Ox, and I have an addiction.

I did some light airbrushing. I find the Tamiya Lacquer Thinner works best with thinning other lacquers and the Tamiya acrylics as well. Like 90% thinner to 10% paint and it goes on like dust !

[xviper]

At 51 operational planes (and nearly 2 dozen various sizes of helis), I have reached the MEI - Maximum Explosion Index for my house. Had I not gotten rid of 100 of them through the years, a semi trailer would be parked in the back yard so we'd have a place to live. My wife has been a saint but her halo is starting to tilted a little.

Do I understand it correctly that you used some black Tamiya color thinned 90% and sprayed that over the panel lines to highlight those? after you added the rivets?

Nice, I'd just print them since I have the equipment for it. :)
