I love to watch all the fun you're having with this little model. A good warm up to get you back into building. I like the Eduard 1/32 models I'm seeing with their awsome decales. Can't wait to find them back in the stores. You made me inter my models and it was fun to see just how much the spectator's loved the work. So, get them to the local meets and have even more fun meeting the people who share your hobby. It will warm your heart.
I have been a member for a while now. I love to see you doing your models, it give me a boost to continue my projects. I am impressed how fast are you. You manage to do beautiful models in a fraction of time it would take to me!!!! Then, I always learn something new from you, I liked the decal trick! It's very efficient. Really... a great good work!! Not to mention hearing you sip your coffee or green tea... I love it, I do it to my wife!!! She gets crazy!!🤣🤣
I absolutely love the Tamiya E3. Builds nicely. You can get a great build out of the box, or, if you want a challenge, there's plenty of aftermarket. SBS makes an awesome resin cockpit that is basically a drop in replacement.
I really enjoy these videos, it’s great to see you back in action. That putty looks real similar to Ammo’s putty. With the Ammo putty I noticed that if you pull it apart slowly it strings, but if you pull it fast then it breaks clean. Maybe that will help next time pulling it out of the wheel well. Just pull it out a little aggressively and it will not string. Keep up the great work and thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
That’s coming along nicely. I use some styrene that I fashioned into a blunt blade to help get the decals down into the panel lines. I also put Tamiya decal adhesive on the model before I put the decal on & then Tamiya mark fit. That seems to really suck the decals down. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃
When you mentioned the difficulty of removing carrier film from some decals, I looked at my F-106 and the "US AIR FORCE" decals on both sides of the fuselage. The decals were aftermarket from Micro-Scale that I'd had for about 6-7 years before I used them. Luckily, Micro-Set and Micro-Sol did the job and I have very little, almost un-noticeable silvering. I don't think I'd even try to cut around all those letters. Your Mojo must not have gone very far. Looks like you found it, to me.
Hey Sean, when that putty sticks in the gear legs holes…get a can of that compressed air (those duster cans), turn it upside down, and gently squeeze the trigger so liquid comes out. It will harden/freeze the putty making it easier to get out instead of stretching on you.
