This is my 1984 Dodge W150 Royal SE Prospector. Where can I look to find some kits of older trucks like this? I am pretty inexperienced, and what I do know is just tank kits.
Chassis is finished. Just sprayed base coat on my first body, pretty happy with it. Nissan Skyline 2000 GTR. Will post when 100% complete.
I am going to start a mega-project. I will build an F-4E TISEO & F-4D IRIAF loaded AGM-65A and GBU-10 respectively. These loads were typical during the first year of Iran-Iraq war. The 3rd phantom is a USAF F-4D during Vietnam war of the only USAF ace Ritchie & Debellevau.
The best Sci-Fi models I have ever built..better than Bandai Namco Star Wars series in my experience…Hope you all like them as much as I do…
So I messed up, rookie mistake. I'm airbrushing up some small (1:300) Battle of Britain 3D resin planes for a board game. I started with the BF 109. I used Mr Surfacer 1500 black primer then a base coat of Tamiya XF-21 which was supposed to be the equivalent to RLM 65. It's not. The color chart I was using was wrong and I didn't realize till after I painted all my mini models. The correct color is Tamiya XF-23 which I just ordered.
So the question is, what should I do? Should I airbrush over the base coat? I have a couple more layers to add to the wings for the camo and decals. I don't want the paint to get too thick since the scale is so small. Do I try soaking the whole plane in lacquer thinner and starting over or is that a recipe for disaster?
This is my first time air brushing anything or using model paints so any advice is welcome.
I have an Israeli Missile Defense System that looks similar to the one on the left but not the same. Any idea what these are?
My F4 Phantom that I built with my dad in 1977. Thought it was lost forever but just found while cleaning out their house. Can’t believe it was still mostly intact!
If you guys have some tips for face details for scale 1:35 please tell me. Hope ya all have a great day
