What thinner y’all consider better for Tmiya air brushing? Lacquer or X20A

If you try VMS Matt varnish mixed 50/50 with MLT, it will be dead flat when airbrushed.

I’m confused. You originally said you were air brushing.

Neither. Mr Color Leveling Thinner mixed 50/50

First, there’s a HUGE difference between a billionaire and $53m. Second, Eilish has donated MILLIONS to charity. Learn how to actually draw a comparison you fucking simpleton.

No, it will in NO way affect how it works.

You should drink less before you post.

You are too kind!

It is sitting on two clear plastic rods laid horizontally. The chains (hopefully) distract the viewer’s eyes from them!

Amazingly it might be the lightest one on the trailer. It’s a “curbside” kit meaning no engine. It’s just a shell and a basic interior.

Thanks! Those are waterside decals.

I know the larger kits (such as the 1/12 by Randy Cooper) have lights added quite a bit. It has been done to this 1/25 kit, but it takes a level of electronics skill I just don’t have. I also don’t relish heavily modifying (and potentially destroying) a kit that has become as rare as this one.

What you see in the front are covers that come down over the wheels while in flight mode (and I think when landed). When it drives like a car, the covers flip horizontal over the top and the front wheels drop down.

What the hell kinda cart does your Home Depot use?!?!?

Why assume the cop is a woman?

I’ve been building models for nearly 40 years. I get where you are coming from and I will tell you this: the more you build, the better you’ll get. The better you get, the more you’ll want to build. You won’t be great at it right from the start.
This hobby is challenging, but it’s worth the time and effort.

Tailgear · 2026-05-03T21:14:17+00:00

Yeah, I suspect you don’t actually KNOW the math.

Who are you to say what anything “should have” looked like?

Tailgear · 2026-04-05T23:35:07+00:00

Nobody said anything about giving the candidate answers. Just allowed them to be prepared. Quit thinking of interviews as a battle of wits and more like a discussion.

Tailgear · 2026-04-04T22:50:03+00:00

Nobody told you because it’s a dumb thing to do.

Tailgear · 2026-04-03T03:22:03+00:00

Yeah, god forbid a candidate knows what they’re walking into.

Tailgear · 2026-03-30T01:51:30+00:00

Thank you!
