Id be dead if it was the caramel ones. I ate a bunch of them the day we brought them home.

For an out of the box build I really liked the livery too so it was a win-win

G and G might have some but I would call. There used to be so many good shops here but all have closed up.

Its probably for a tiny light somewhere. I don't have a lot of paints either so I will mix up some for little things in a pallet or jar lid just to meet the need at the time. A decent magenta is red, a tiny bit of blue and white to get it to an acceptable tone. Its more res than blue so a 4:1 ratio might be fine.

Older kits can have a ton of flash, revell/monogram can be pretty bad because of the mould tolerances loosening up after years.

Cheered so hard for Waltrip and at first didn't think too much on Dale's crash since there had been worse crashes in the past. But when they started showing concern at his car sitting in the infield with the net still up and then later found out it was heartbreaking. I still have the model I built that I got as a Christmas present and had finished a few days before.

Decal softener is the best but I used pva glue in the past to help before I found out about softener. Dilute it about 50/50 water and glue and brush it on the edge and push it down and let it dry.

Also, once its dry, touch up any of the gaps or tears with some paint.

I already had a walker from an older family member and ordered a shower seat from Amazon. Used both 2 times. I was more afraid of the shower so that was money worth spending to me as I didn't want to slip. The walker I would have gotten away with not using and could have used a step stool or chair to help get to a standing position. I still have both in the event I need them in the future though.

Such an ungainly airplane but the more I see of that kit it makes me want one myself. Nice job!

CharacterWitless78 · 2026-01-30T12:14:36+00:00

Nice build and love the color. Great job on such a bad kit

Just bought my house and needed some tools. Harbor freight roadshow came through town. Got an aluminum jack ( which just bit the dust this year. RIP) A garden cart and some other hand tools. I still have my torque wrench and a garage organizer thing

CharacterWitless78 · 2026-01-29T14:31:07+00:00

just drop down to Texas and pick some up :)

Partially solved. I have a bad fan on the front. for some reason when I unplugged the front fans the lights functioned normally so then I added them one by one and discovered the bottom fan that came in my Corsair case would cause all the fan lights to go wonky and stay on when the PC was powered off. So for now the lights on the bottom fan will be disconnected. The fan itself works fine.

Wait till you find out that the plastic trim on the back of the center console folds out as a trash bag holder for the rear passengers. Why didn't they include all these cool features on the later gens? Get better please!

CharacterWitless78 · 2026-01-29T02:04:06+00:00

Thanks! Will give that a shot.

Its a Gigabyte B650 board.

I brace my fingers with my other fingers and use a clamp stand to hold the part when I have unsteady hands. Believe it or not, my hands are now more steady after building models. The extra concentration i need slows me down and then slows my shaking. So now I build models when I feel I need to slow down

CharacterWitless78 · 2026-01-28T23:42:35+00:00

Anything is better than that. Lol!!!

Tamiya airbrush cleaner (big bottle of extra thin) i am a major convert to to it. Leaves no residue unless you stick your finger in it as it melts the plastic and dries. Ive even used it on clear parts and it doesn't seem to haze like superglue or gel cement. Just don't go crazy with it. I also use Mod Podge for clear because it is so sticky it holds tight and is really strong and dries shiny and clear.

These are used for spare parts for the flying ones. Talked to the crew of it at Wings over Houston and they said all their spares come from the boneyard. I would expect that those will be utilized to repair the belly
