To all Filipino Modelers

QUOTE: [ Ngek! Last time I visit Lil's Mega, the Corsair without the tractor is not available. The one with the tractor is a bit expensive so I settled for the Academy instead. There's one thing I noticed, the panel lines where the wings are to be folded are different with F4U-1A and F4U-1D. At least that's what my reference indicates (a drawing outline of a -1A). I'm planning to back-date the 1D to a 1A since the subject I want to model is a 1A (used by an Ace pilot in the Pacific theatre) QUOTE: but i suggest you build academy's P47 (D or N) instead since i have a very good walkaround book. Wow! That's great! Di' na ako mag su-surf. I'm eyeing the one version with a 'Rabbit' (Bugs-bunny??) nose art, I think that one is used by the Allies' in one of their campaigns in Italy. If possible can I borrow it po? QUOTE: i'll provide you a few ml. of gunze's interior color on the next meeting. bring your container Ok. Got that. -Lipton-

lipton,

i think the F4U-1A/D of tamiya without the tractor is out of stock for quite some time now . sorry, i cant help you with the wingfold details... i dont have any reference yet . hmmm... backdate to -1A? building Boyington or Kepford's plane?

ok, i'll bring the P47 walkaround book for you.

see you

bigman

Kepford's. Galeng!!! But if I can't verify the wingfold panels, I'll model some other's (I only have a photo reference but not the pilot's name )

Many thanks Bigman :o)

I can sense the karma coming I destroyed all of my dad's kits when I was a kid

Like father, like son...

Meekai,

Stop!! Stop that! Youre giving me the shivers! Im buying locks...

Jeep,

Okay! Hope you can make it. I had the same thoughts about my physical well being when I first joined. But I made it through.

Im sure meetings in the next few years will indeed be a family affair. You notice last meeting the guys were bringing their family along? Ill be doing that too, as soon as little Mikhaila learns how to walk and how to NOT touch models. Hehehe! We'll teach them how to make models. Theyre the next generation. Theyll be entering models in contests while we talk about the good old days.

Shonen,

Aaaw! Try mo, my friend. Believe me, youll love it.

Lipton,

Wow! That was quick. Cant wait to see the P-40. We'll take shots!

Oh, by the way, Im really bringing my basic Spraywork Airbrush to the club this Sunday (I forgot it last time). Along with Bull's compressor, it can be used by any member without an airbrush. It'll be an on-site aribrush-compressor rig. We can start painting there!

Bigman, CAG,

Reporting for duty, sir! But first I think Ill run off to Admiral Junior's office. Im volunteering for ship parts.

Congratulations SR!! Your entry is definitely worthy to be voted Numero 1.

(add daddy's sweetest smile to convince the baby here)" then the kid replies, "but, daddy your models are prettier! i want to see your planes fly!" baby then grabs the favorite build as the model learned to fly by itself towards the wall... there goes another battle casualty! train them while young, ladies! we, too will soon be "weathered" kudos to the "dada"s-to-be and the new dads too...

Man! I realize that I'm so glad being a modeler, that I'm still single with no kids even.... ehehehe Now if only I can do something about those pesky little critter cousins o' mine.

allan, darling... what's bound to happen is bound to happen and may possibly happen!

QUOTE: Originally posted by cbrain if only I can do something about those pesky little critter cousins o' mine

honey, those little critters would always be right at your back until they grow up. teach them how to appreciate and love your builds, specially the macross figures... lest you find another casualty of war. show them how to build not to destroy them...

learn how to teach them little kids. soon enough, as you and i are brothers, i'd have my sister -in- law!

Hi all,

Do any of you know or have references of payload configuration for F-15E?

BigMan,

Good day, i asked natalie if she knows any replacement for the intake tunnels and exaust cans. She told me that paragon designs used to have one but she thinks its closed down already. tough luck!

QUOTE: Originally posted by mdlchiw Hi all, Do any of you know or have references of payload configuration for F-15E?

try this...

http://www.f-15estrikeeagle.com/ then click on <weapons> then <loadout configurations>

hope that helps.... ehehehehe

mdlchiw,

yep, paragon designs has closed shop . but before it did, i got myself their update set for hasegawa's 1/48 F-15E (featured at the F-15E website). i think some of their products were 'absorbed' by xtraparts (or is it the other way around? ). you may want to check out xtraparts at hannants.

anyway, i'm still checking on your requests... hope you can wait for a little while longer...

for the F-15E payload config, you may want to check out Verlinden's F-15E Lock-On, which lists down the configs used during Desert Storm. also the Gulf Air War Debrief (Janes Publication) book. sorry, i dont know of websites that has these configs. isnt it listed down on the F-15E website you referered earlier?

if you dont have these references, maybe i can email you directly for the list, or better yet, why not drop by at UP diliman on June 13 on our monthly meeting. i can show you my references and maybe we can discuss your plans for your 1/32 F-15E further

have a nice day!

bigman

BigMan,

the F-15E site i mentioned earlier has only a few payload configurations. i would like to research on the proper payload configuration on the ordnances that are already available in the kit( AIM-9L sidewinder, Mk. 20 rockeye cluster bombs, GBU-10 laser guided bombs, 610 gal external fuel tanks, multi ejector racks). To minimize buying aftersales ordnances, hehe, and save money.

i dont think i can make it on june 13, i have a rally challenge clinic at CCP. But i'll try if we finish early.

any the way thanks again.

cbrain,

already browsed throught that site and has only a few configurations.

i'll email you then the payload config within the week.

our meeting starts at 2pm and runs up to 5-6pm. if you cant make it, then maybe on our next monthly meeting .

are you a rally driver?

bigman

BigMan,

im not a rally driver, just wanna try it. maybe if i get the hang of it and attract some sponsors.

Darned right! Congratulations, Shonen! Yove made us all proud! Keep up the good work, mate!

Meekai,

Problem: Child wants to destroy dad's models.
Solution: Locks on glass shelves and early lecture on the virtues of appreciating without touching.

Stage 1 complete.

hehehe!

mdlchiw,

Goodluck on your try outs! Keep us posted. And be careful!

But everytime I look at the canopy.... EEEEWWWWW!!! So here goes.... how do you do a canopy in 1:72.... errr... I mean how do you mask/paint it? -Lipton- Reply Edit Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, June 9, 2004 4:10 AM 3M magic tape works wonders on Braille scale canopies. It's the translucent tape that turns transparent once it sticks to something. It's easy to use, adheres well, leaves no residue, and it's easy to cut. Reply Edit Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, June 9, 2004 4:33 AM Wow I didnt know 3M works, this is available in National Bookstore right? I used tamiya tape but yes its kinda thick. I'm also not very good at handling the x-acto blade so my cut goes in different directions. Worst, panel lines in the canopy for this scale is so hard to see when taped. Guess I'll take your suggestion and try the 3M thing (on my next model). Gonna drop by at NBS after office. Thank you very much for the alternative. Good day! -Lipton- Reply Edit Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, June 9, 2004 5:03 AM Happy to help bro! If you can't find the 3M brand tape there are other brands of magic tape that work just as well Reply Edit Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, June 9, 2004 6:21 AM QUOTE: Originally posted by jmfrancisco Ei guys!

I mean how do you mask/paint it? -Lipton- jm, its easier to mask one way, should we say vertical lines first then paint it then after the paint dry up, unmask it and mask the horizontal line next. Its a little bit easier this way except you have to two painting session and clean your airbrush twice.

I have here Armak Invisible tape which costs a lot less (3 for 29.75) and I must say it sucks. Does not adhere too much on curves.

Try your local medical laboratory. This film's really easy to apply to canopies compared to masking tape. I ordered some on ebay and tried for the first time on my harrier. Worked like a charm. I'll try to send you a link on how to apply it.

Lipton I have a suggestion on canopy painting that wont involve masking and cutting off masks using xacto knife.... do you have a small sheet of clear decal? or a decal you wont be using anymore? paint the decal using the exterior color of the kit. for the P-40 this would be olive drab. use airbrush with very light applications so as not to 'moisten' the decal. then cut the decal into strips whose width is equal to the width of the frames of the canopy. then apply like an ordinary decal over the canopy frames. let dry. easy, isnt it?? :D] however, i think this is applicable to canopies with 'greenhouse' frames only. havent tried it yet to 'blown' or 'bubble' canopies (ex F-16, F-15 or bubbletop P-47) since these are easier to mask. another suggestion: it would be better if you use clear decal because you can paint the interior color first (zinc-chromate green for the P-40), then overspray with the exterior color once dry. after applying the decal on the canopy, you have an added bonus: it will seems that even the frames inside the canopy are 'painted' with the interior color! actually, you can use this technique when masking the canopy: paint the interior color first, then paint the exterior color thereafter. for Parafilm M, cut of a small piece (about 1/2 the area of the canopy) then stretch it out. apply over the canopy, cut out areas to be painted then paint. remove by applying fresh masking tape over the Parafilm M, then remove quickly. very neat results and no paint seepage. hope this helps! bigman Reply Edit Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, June 9, 2004 8:43 PM QUOTE: Originally posted by mdlchiw BigMan, im not a rally driver, just wanna try it. maybe if i get the hang of it and attract some sponsors. good luck mdlchiw! yes please, keep us posted! bigman Reply Edit Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, June 9, 2004 11:12 PM QUOTE: Originally posted by jepot Sigman, you are in Cebu right?
