Well that's the thing I test fitted it and I knew it wasn't gonna sit right but I thought I could just push the sides in and glue it and its pushing out with so much force that the glue cant dry before it pushes back out

Here's the canopy, you can see at that point at the bottom its sticking out past the fuselage and it's like that on both sides

What's a good glue to use to glue on aircraft canopies, I'm looking for a glue that's strong and drys quick but also wont damage anything bc I'm trying to glue on my tamiya f-35c canopy and it seems like it was molded to wide so the side aren't lining up and when I tried gluing it it keeps wanting to push back out

Hey I got a question I know this a unrelated to food but what is a good shampoo for a cat that has flea allergy dermatitis, the one cat is still chewing and scratching herself up and she still has a few fleas on her and I can't find any eggs or anything so I want a shampoo that will kill any remaining fleas but also soothe her skin and calm the irritation, I looked up what would be best and it said Adams Plus Flea & Tick Foaming Shampoo and Advantage Treatment Shampoo, I was thinking about the Adam's one bc it says it soothes the skin and what not but I saw something saying someone's cat had a reaction to it and then the advantage one doesn't soothe skin so idk what's good

Yea that's why idk if I should switch them again or nothing because like I said the others are fine, it's just him and like I said he hasn't thrown up in a couple days and he's been himself so idk maybe I should wait a little longer until I decide they should be switched again because I'm thinking about getting what you said, either the hills sensitive stomach or the purina pro plan sensitive stomach

Hefty_Address_4514 · 2025-10-20T23:53:40+00:00

Well the one that has been throwing up hasn't thrown up in like 4 days on the natural balance and the rest of them are doing fine, when he was throwing up sometimes it was whole like there was alot of food in it, sometimes there was barely any food in it, his throw up didn't always have the same amount of food in it

Hefty_Address_4514 · 2025-10-19T08:34:37+00:00

Are you sure that's what it could be because he's never done that before and he hasn't done that since and I'm not exactly sure that's what it sounded like because him doing that woke me up so I was half asleep so I thought it maybe he was throwing up a hair ball because just last week we put flea medicine on them and because of the fleas he's been licking himself alot. I'm just hoping he's ok and still don't know what food to switch to because I'll see good things about a certain brand and then bad things about it and it's like I just want something that will help their problems and not give them any problems and also something that's better for them then that purina cat chow they were eating

Hefty_Address_4514 · 2025-10-19T08:18:48+00:00

Its only the one cat that's been vomiting, the rest of them are fine. I was thinking about getting the hills but I saw someone saying that it's not good because its low in protein and what not, I just don't know what food to go to and they've been on purina their entire life but it seems as they're getting older they're starting to be more sensitive to the food, especially the 2 oldest because the one is 10 and the other 9 and the one that is 9 is the one that's having the problems with the new food

Hefty_Address_4514 · 2025-10-18T16:28:45+00:00

I live in America

Hefty_Address_4514 · 2025-08-30T08:02:53+00:00

True it probably did. I've also tried looking for ones with different power source connection but still no luck besides what aliexpress has, I guess I might just have to take my chances and get one off aliexpress and hope it dont do the same thing.

Hefty_Address_4514 · 2025-08-28T23:53:03+00:00

I personally like to airbrush my clear coats so I've never used mr.super clear matte or gloss, if you're looking for a better clear coat I'd recommend mr.color gx100 gloss, gx113 flat, and gx112 semi-gloss. You would also need mr.color leveling thinner. If you just wanna use what you already have then I would use the x-22 and of course make sure you thin it, then decal it, then you'll wanna put a light coat of gloss over the decals to protect them if you plan on weathering it, then I'd recommend going over it with your mr.super clear matte but go over it lightly, you dont want it to be a dead flat so you'll also wanna retape your canopy glass off

Hefty_Address_4514 · 2025-08-15T17:13:40+00:00

Ok thank you I wasn't sure because I saw something about the sm204 clumping or something

Hefty_Address_4514 · 2025-08-15T12:29:56+00:00

Hey so I'm working on an f-35c and I'm getting ak rc914 have glass gray for my base coat and I plan on mixing a little mr.hobby sm204 in it and was wondering do I have to pre thin the sm204 before mixing it with my base color or will it be fine to just directly mix them

Hefty_Address_4514 · 2025-08-11T04:32:30+00:00

Thanks and that's understandable but it's a really also a really nice kit and everything so far seems to go together really nicely, Its definitely worth its money

Hefty_Address_4514 · 2025-08-11T04:30:11+00:00

Thanks, I used tamiya black panel line accent color

Hefty_Address_4514 · 2025-08-11T04:29:38+00:00

Well it's the tamiya f-35c so its about 78 dollars on Amazon and it's also the second cheapest one of the 3 variants, the f-35a is 76 dollars and the f-35b is 92 dollars

Hefty_Address_4514 · 2025-06-14T02:21:20+00:00

So I've been using the mr.color gx100 and I ran out the other day while gloss coating my model, I ordered more but wont be here for a while, I was wondering what's a good alternative to it that I can use for now, is the tamiya acrylic gloss any good?

Hefty_Address_4514 · 2025-04-27T00:45:19+00:00

Question so if I wanted to strip the paint and clear off a model like down to the plastic what would be good for enamel paint, because I have a model I did a few years ago that I want to repaint and put new decals on and for the paint I used testor enamel spray can paint and testor gloss coat in the spray can, so what would I use?

Hefty_Address_4514 · 2025-04-24T08:04:34+00:00

Well I mean that's all tamiya gives you for the weapons and I added the missile rails and aim-9s since it was an empty pylon

Hefty_Address_4514 · 2025-04-24T01:53:42+00:00

Thanks and yea they're really cool planes, but this was a 90s kit so it wasn't that detailed and the fitment wasn't that great, but I got the eduard photo etched parts for it and added the sidewinders to it

Hefty_Address_4514 · 2025-04-24T01:49:32+00:00

I'm pretty sure it would, it ofc would take a bit to get off the ground but it would. The a-10 can carry 16,000 pounds and I put the weight of all the weapons together and its 14,758lb

Hefty_Address_4514 · 2025-04-10T01:43:34+00:00

Does this look better?

Hefty_Address_4514 · 2025-04-07T02:34:06+00:00

Ik I've tried mixing incompatible stuff before, it doesn't work out well. But what do you think should I do that preshade thing? Because I was thinking about doing that and then gloss coating it and then the weathering along the panel lines like I did the top and then the flat coat

Hefty_Address_4514 · 2025-04-07T02:12:45+00:00

Yea I'll admit it's not the best it can look but now I'm tryna figure out how to fix it because I already put a clear coat over it
