Ken - My gold is about 10 years old but your OD at almost 40 is ready for the Smithsonian.
Jim - Usually I have only 4. It could be a car, armor and planes. It allows each one for dry times, thought, walk away time. For example the '66 Chevy I am building needed proper cure time and then masking all of which took 2 weeks. This allowed me to work on my other kits.

IBuild148 Mike / Doogs I have 6 builds going on so sometimes the bench gets cluttered. The Sparrows are for an F-4 Shamrock that is done. I'm just taking my time with them. FYI... the gold is for an engine that will be going into a 49' Merc!

Six builds at once?! Amazing! If I tried that, I would end up attaching a propeller to a model car, tank tracks to a model plane and painting the tank Candy Apple Red!

Well, if it's any guide I have a bottle of Pactra Authentic color Olive Drab from about 1972 that I still use.

It is Lt. Currans. Can never build enough P-47's.
I agree with you 100% on the Merc. That would be the first classic car I would buy if I won the lotto. Since that is very unlikely I'll live the dream in scale.
BTW...Yes I have used Bare Metal a couple of times but I have better success with liquid,
Stay with your strengths!
Are we doing Lt Currans mount by chance? Gotta love the 405thFG
Haha nice, kinda like me at one point.. Had had four going and seriously, I had to stop lol Now I am down to one build and one in the wings waiting..
Ooooooh the Merc... IMHO, that has to be one of the sexiest cars around..!!
Flaps up,

If you would listen to everybody about the inaccuracies, most of the kits on your shelf would not have been built Too Close For Guns, Switching To Finger
Memory jogged! It's Kansas Tornado from the NMF group! Oh man, I'd love to see some Sparrows under the wings, even as a joke...

Looks like one to me! And it looks like it could be packing some serious heat! Those look a bit big for AIM-7s, but its hard to tell when they're up against a WWII bird.
As for the testors thinner...agreed...don't see why not. Just make sure it's not acrylic thinner, etc etc. Also, being old paint, I'd recommend straining it through mesh or something to keep any dried bits, clumps, etc that might escape your stirring and mixing from clogging your airbrush.
MMmm I do not see why not!! I mean shake up good and stir it good. Does it brush good? Test it out by placing some in a spray cup, thinning accordingly and air brush it on an old part test model first.
Please let me know how it goes.!!
First let me say I think I can.....but I want to make sure!
I have this OLD bottle of Testors enamel gold paint and it is still good from my perspective. My question is can I use the Testors thinner to thin and with my airbrush? I have an engine block that want to use it on.
