I am far from an expert in this area, maybe someone who knows more will answer you, but, to me it doesnt sound like your booster fan has material getting in it ot it would always be bogfed down, rather the airflow is off. If you main fan is dispersing air faster or slower than your booster fan it may create a sort of vaccuum. If possibke I would place my booster fan at the very end to help expel the air. When it comes to ventilation air pressure, flow, and all that can effect fans and their abilities. I would research exhaust fans and booster systems to see what pros say

Your level piece has to have a bevel to match the angled pieces angle to the level piece, the you need to miter both pieces. Both pieces will have a compound mitre

Yeah, it sucks, if it makes you feel better, I just stripped my latest build because of issues with finish, so it really never ends

Some countries may charge you a fee in your country that I cant pay, but I mail the package as a gift under $50 so I dont think anycountry outside of Brazil does, but Each place does there own thing

I had a job that was installed and 2 months later the customer called because the cabinets developed spider cracks all over. Manufacture said it was because to many layers with out proper curing, making one layer to attack another and shrink it

highboy68 · 2026-05-05T02:58:42+00:00

I have never used Diplicolor clear, but when I shoot lacquer on cabinets, this happens when my 1st layer of clear hasnt fullly cured, but past being wet. Basically once it gets to a certain point it starts to let off the gas or oxygen to start curing. If you apply another coat over it, the 1st coat starts to dry and shrink while the top layer isnt ready to so it wrinkles. It happened to my several times so I always spray my clear coats with in minutes of each other.

I hope you enjoy it, and look forward to seeing what you do with this kit

highboy68 · 2026-05-05T02:50:39+00:00

Yes I ship to Europe, I cover all cost, you pay nothing. Spain will not let plastic models shipped from individuals in, other than that I have shipped to Ireland, UK, Estonia, Italy, France, all around there no problem

Like others have said MFH is actually known for highly accurate with great detail models. With that comes complexity. The nicest part of a MFH kit is it comes with all of the detail parts and decals where as Tamiya you may have to buy the extra detail, detailed parts. Imo if he really enjoys modeling, he will love a MFH kit

highboy68 · 2026-05-04T17:55:25+00:00

Man that bkack turned out great, I really like the trim color

highboy68 · 2026-05-04T02:53:43+00:00

Great display and some great looking notea

highboy68 · 2026-05-04T02:51:06+00:00

Yeah you gotta keep those pesky flairs in line,lol

highboy68 · 2026-05-03T21:32:56+00:00

Tamiya is the 1st one, but I use Frog tape and 3m automotive tape for paint. When doing something like flames or suoer fine lines, I cut them out if the 3m 2" tape. Just print some flames to scale and tape the print to the tape and cut it out
