Flory’s wash is a liquified clay? I should look that up. I’ve never used his products. The results are getting there I think you’re still removing excess? Indeed they are Bruce, water and clay and very easy to work with. I'm still a novice at all this really but I like the product. I am still remov...

Thanks, Tom! I look forward to seeing you build one!

I love the Mig-3. I know it's not a great aircraft but it looks really good. I love all the work you did on this one.

I've been futzing around with two WWII Russian fighters for almost two years now. Lately, I experienced a rare case of motivation and went back to work on them. Now...
