You don't need airbrush. I have been modeling for 40 years and would never use them.

@@brianhurley6289 I know but I wouldn't be without mine...

I have a spray booth;).

What you can see thru the canopy glass I’ll be sure to show

@@seanerk5kt9 Great! Thank you :)

I have heard this occurs when too heavy of coats are applied.

@@brettbricker1810 Ok thanks. I tried light coats heavy coats seem to get the same results.

The nose gear doors weren’t too bad. I just had to carefully file a small amount of material from the edges of the doors, angled my filing towards the inside of the doors. Then glued one side, let that cure, then taped and glued the other side. Had to do it that way as after filing, they still wouldn’t sit exactly flush without pressure being applied. For the engine nacelles, I think I glued one door on each nacelle, let that cure, then glued on the other doors. If I remember right, there was still a substantial gap but doing it this way, I was able to keep the gap on one side and just filled and re scribed. I think I might have had to straighten out the front end of the doors with a file as well.

Thanks so much for the response. I’m a bit scared to try it, but think I’ll give it a go :)

I don’t remember :(

Maybe use more layers of hairspray and or thinner coats of olive drab.

You have to chip it faster, don't let it dry overnight. Start when its just dry 45 min or so.

It’s a little more complicated than the Tamiya f-14 and f-4 models and there’s a little more sanding and filling than I anticipated but it’s still a really good fitting kit

@@seanerk5kt9 Sean, I was looking back through your videos and I noticed you have never published a video of a helicopter build. Aircraft? Check. Sci-fi? Check. Submarine? (See Sci-Fi). Even a car. but no Helos. If you ever have a helo itch to scratch check out the Special Hobbies 1/32 AH-1G "Hi-Tech" kit. Comes with 3-D printed, resin and painted PE parts. Even paint masks for the canopy. Pretty much everything you'd want for a build in one box. Thanks again for your builds. Really are an inspiration for us mere mortals.

I used Tamiya mixed with deck tan

Because I would break them off. I paint them at the same time using the same techniques, just separate from the model

I threw it away so I can’t share the details. I’m pretty sure it came from a 1/32 trumper kit.

@@seanerk5kt9 No worries, thanks for replying.

I’ve found no difference in how Tamiya chips when thinned with various thinners.

@@seanerk5kt9 Thank you. I have never done hairspray chipping. Didn't realize there could be a difference in use of types thinner with Tamiya paint that effects how the chipping process.

I use this page to get me in the ballpark www.aerohistorians.org/Other/Tamiya_paint_mixes_4-17.pdf

Thanks!!

They may be recyclable but I throw them away in the normal trash.

Are you for real ???
