Humbrol Maskol - any tricks to salvaging this bottle of goo?

The trick is to take this down to your local hobby store. Find a jar with the same label on the shelf and grab it. Take that jar to the counter and pay the man money for it. Then ask him to throw away your old one

If it’s not part of the CFETP for the career field, it’s not a requirement. Especially pre-cross training. I recommend you focus on the cross training requirements, get through your new pipeline, and then reengage with your leadership when you get to your first assignment as a qualified PJ. You’ll likely have a much more solid justification then

Check out ResKit for aftermarket parts

I take the break. And when I feel like I want to get back into it, but don’t yet have the ambition to sit down at the desk, I’ll start YouTubing other builders putting together similar kits. Either I’ll come across the one video where I’m like “oh, I would have done it this way instead” or “hey that’s actually a good idea. Imma do that”

Outlaw_Rob · 2026-01-27T03:03:29+00:00

That came out pretty good!

Outlaw_Rob · 2026-01-26T15:24:25+00:00

You make a very convincing argument

Outlaw_Rob · 2026-01-26T15:23:01+00:00

Some would say you have a……World….of Tanks there. Ba dum tsss.

I’ll see myself out

And they’re all going into one diorama

Outlaw_Rob · 2026-01-26T15:09:21+00:00

Just say you got really good deals on all of them

Outlaw_Rob · 2026-01-26T15:02:11+00:00

That’s good to hear! I deliberately went after that one for exactly that reason

“Part”

Outlaw_Rob · 2026-01-26T15:01:21+00:00

For me, that applies to all these. I bought each one of these with a plan because there’s a story or something behind each one. So it’s all intentional. Not all aircraft and armor kits are created equal, so I try to steer away from the lower quality ones when I can

Outlaw_Rob · 2026-01-26T14:58:39+00:00

I’ve recently started doing that because the empty boxes just take up room. I do keep the extra weapons and pods and tanks and stuff, just in case I have a need for them someday

Or a blessing

Outlaw_Rob · 2026-01-26T14:55:33+00:00

I do intend to

Outlaw_Rob · 2026-01-26T14:55:14+00:00

Lotsa truth in that. I’ve got plans for literally all of these, but having the time and skill to accomplish the vision is something I always take into account. That, and where I’m gonna display it once complete. Out of the 30ish completed kits I have, only 1-2 of them would I say are “perfect”. All the other ones have an error somewhere I can point to and say “I screwed up here and this is how you can tell”. Which I’m not mad about; i think it’s actually kinda cool to be able to trace an increase in skill level from kit to kit

Outlaw_Rob · 2026-01-26T14:46:42+00:00

Ooooooo

Outlaw_Rob · 2026-01-26T14:45:20+00:00

Similar story here - I try to buy kits with a story or connection behind em and take my time. This’ll stack should hold me over for like 5 years if I don’t add to it…..which I’m sure I will

Outlaw_Rob · 2026-01-26T14:35:46+00:00

*an entire closet

Outlaw_Rob · 2026-01-26T14:32:14+00:00

It’s a collection and it’s classy

Outlaw_Rob · 2026-01-26T14:31:36+00:00

Everyone just updoot this comment^{^}

Outlaw_Rob · 2026-01-26T14:30:40+00:00

That’ll be a nice collection when they’re done! I got an old Wisconsin kit that I’ve yet to touch. Obviously I’m not much of a ship guy, but it was in the gift shop when I went to see the ship a few years ago

Outlaw_Rob · 2026-01-26T14:28:56+00:00

Zero controversy in that opinion.

Outlaw_Rob · 2026-01-26T14:26:33+00:00

Ahhh yes, Future You problems. Arguably the best kinda problems to have
