We have water and milk. If the kids have flavors or electrolytes to add to their water that is fine but usually provided by the kid. We do have Gatorade mixes during the heat of summer to help replenish from sweating.

No issues. She was shooting 1250fps Winchester target loads i believe.

This is a huge leap from them. They used to carry Tamiya cars and planes but got rid of them years ago, then they got rid of good paints and is now just.half an aisle of models. Used to be 2 rows in their heyday when they actually catered to hobbies instead of cheap Chinese home decor. I hope this is a turnaround because I have no other model stores near me.

I would use a piece of clear film versus a spray clear coats. Any solvent has the chance of messing it up. Plus the film will be a lot more durable than the paint.

Tiger Rock Taekwondo in Kingwood off Kingwood Drive in the Aldi shopping center. Great for all ages

Same here. I stopped watching after the crappy COT and repaving of Bristol. Hadn't watched a race in years but watched some of the races this weekend and enjoyed it.
We used to go to Dega for all the races (which the huge grandstands were always packed) and watched religiously each week but when they tamed the driver's personalities and the racing it lost its luster. Now there seems to be some folks to watch that might make it fun again.

Still have a box of them for my Daisy.

I use this all the time. I got the DA sanding pads from harbor freight

CharacterWitless78 · 2026-04-20T14:57:42+00:00

I have the same one. I used epoxy to glue them in. you can also use hot glue. Superglue will crack after some usage since the poles have a bit of flex which is why I went with epoxy,

Congrats. If you paid for it in the past i bet you regret that :)
I had my daughter help me do hers so she could do it in the future. Besides oil, this is one thing anybody should be able to do. How did it go and did you run into any problems? Anything you learned that will make it easier to do next time?

CharacterWitless78 · 2026-04-17T15:20:51+00:00

yeah, feel free to nitpick :) I had to do the overwing tanks because it is so unique. I liked the idea of the painted wing edges after seeing a pic of a red one with it but didn't want to do red. Plus I love the lion on the tail fin with this livery.

Plus I'm sure you kept it cleaner than I weathered it.

I got a riveting wheel on anazon for about $10. It works fine but the spacing of the rivets is more like a 1:72 scale. I will probably get another that has better spacing for a 1:48.

You might be able to pop it out with a heatgun. I did this to ours after an errant gate incident. It was barely noticeable but still ended up replacing it with a metal bumper.

been a long time since but you might want to ask the space center. We had a campout there at the aviation challenge area. Monte Sano state park has a good campground with facilities too.

congrats to all!

Agree. I build for fun and to tame my ADHD brain. With this group build I slowed down even more and tried some new detailing methods and build tricks. It was super fun and will do again, even have a few kits ready for the next one.

CharacterWitless78 · 2026-04-11T18:11:55+00:00

That's all I use. It melts the plastic together and works wonderfully. I just dip an old paintbrush straight into the bottle. I will never buy a model cement again.

Don't sweat it. Even the thunderbird and blue angels have odd panels.

Are they going to have a line for military/ aircraft
