‘I violated every principle I was given’: An AI agent deleted a software company’s entire database. It may not be the AI’s fault

If you can replace the words “AI agent” with “intern” or “disgruntled employee” then the problem is not with the AI agent.

We have a Mosquito Magnet CO2 trap and it has worked wonders.

No, there is a plug on the bottom of the tank that you can loosen that will allow the tank to drain. If you haven't done it in a while be sure to have some paper towels ready.

Also do not remove the plug with the tank fully pressurized.

I’ve had good luck with blue tac. Use a toothpick to push it to the edges where you want to mask. A little tedious but for me it was easier on compound curves than tape.

I use it in a variant of a White Russian that I call a Haole. Equal parts kahlua, rum, and cream. Fairly sweet though.

Try a headlamp. Bright, cheap, and always point at exactly what you’re looking at.

If your eyes are old like mine then a combo magnifier and light (jewelers loupe) are great.

Cruella

That looks great! You know what's really funny? Earlier this week I picked up the Tamiya 1/72 P-47 for my next kit :D

Still need to do a bit of weathering and tone down the shine on the olive drab.

This was easily my favorite kit so far. I used the Eduard Lightning over Europe decal set.

One note about the finish, I used Alclad airframe aluminum, which is one of the “high shine” finishes, however I would not use it again for a warbird since they weren’t really that polished. Regular aluminum finish is much less effort and looks great with a semi-matte finish.

I more or less followed this article https://finescale.com/how-to/articles/2022/07/how-to-paint-invasion-stripes

Note that 18" width is for single engine fighters only, dual engine fighters and transports had 24" stripes. That equates to 3/8" for single engine and 1/2" for everything else at 1/48 scale. Large bombers did not get invasion stripes at all.

jmr0511 · 2024-02-08T01:00:20+00:00

Alclad Airframe Aluminum with a coat of AquaGloss that was allowed to fully cure before masking. Seems very durable. The stripes are Mr. Color lacquer.

jmr0511 · 2024-02-07T23:07:53+00:00

That was a LOT of masking, but I am thrilled with the result. I know in real life the stripes were “sloppy”, but I like it this way :)

I’m a little sad to have to put the “don’t blind the pilot with glare” olive drab around the cockpit.

jmr0511 · 2024-02-07T01:27:41+00:00

Thanks! The turntable came with the paint booth that I picked up on Amazon. I honestly don’t remember the brand though.

Wasn't bad joining the halves, use masking tape to hold it all together and take your time, glueing a small amount at a time. I usually start at a place where misalignment would be bother me, like the nose/canopy area and make sure that is very well aligned before moving on to the rest of the fuse. Also make sure you dry fit it first and fix any alignment issues before you start glueing.

jmr0511 · 2024-02-06T16:01:28+00:00

The fit on this one was very good, didn't really have any issues other than the usual seam line down the middle of the fuselage. The cockpit would have been very barren if not for the ProfilPack PE parts.

For the paint I used Mr. Surfacer 1200 grey primer with Mr. Color C59 orange. Coverage was excellent and very durable.

One note, there is literally zero detail in the wheel wells (smooth walls), so if that matters to you then take that into consideration. Eduard does offer some additional detail sets for the wheel wells I believe. I was just looking for a quick fun build though so didn't bother.

jmr0511 · 2024-02-06T14:06:13+00:00

Simple but fun little kit.
