Thats a hell of a stash. Im in with the Academy B-17E.
So sad to hear of his passing. He was a good guy. Always a kind word and some good advice.

As we progress with any skill, there's often a point where we have a sudden leap in understanding or ability. Often this is triggered by a new tool or (in our cases) a new kit, or a new technique that somebody has shown us. Its always so satisfying to have that little Eureka!! Moment. For me I think...

So an idea I've been thinking of is a "That's not my side" or a "That's not my plane" GB. Take a famous pilot or ace (or tank if thats your persuasion). Take the markings from their vehicle. Put them on either the equivalent vehicle on the opposing side or their greatest adversar...

Ive just put a kit into this category, and im not ready to pick it back up again.
But maybe next year? January 1st to December 31st 2026?

Man that sucks. I had the updated version of this kit (30th anniversary phantom) that i was going to do as Kara Sahin. I sold it and all the parts when i moved to Canada. The new owner was most appreciative.

3 years without any updates. Oops. So a little update, shortly after i got to the last update everything got tipped upside down and i moved to the great white north. Ive been here a few years now building my tools and paints. Im hoping to get back in to these 2 soon and finish them to a high standar...

Seems like there's a few paint apps, and a few stash apps, and google?
I wonder if there's a market for something like a details/accuracy app? Maybe with the ability to take a photo of a part that maybe doesn't look right and it can bring back photos or images to help correct it?

Its easily made at home too.
The most basic version is fine grain sand with some baby oil in it. Adding some corn starch will help it with is moldability and create a finer texture.
Its neat stuff, and can be used to create sand casts of small objects for molding in plastic or silicone.
