well chili is not hard to make, do we need to send you dry spice care package?
bondoman Just my two bits. That life ring looks like a big ole target. if I were the Chief, I'd have painted it gray from the can in the locker or at least hung a piece of tarp over it.

Maybe the idea was to draw fire, I dont know... But the real boats did not hide 'em...
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

Taco, you lost me on that one.
Thanks Stik and Dave. I'm pretty sure a Bearcat will make an appearance in Round II. Here she is at Buddy's Used Aircraft Lot. I really should get the make ready guys to clean the a/c and the lot up. I've always read that the Bearcat was a tiny fighter. I'm guessin that was in comparison to other ship based fighters, cuz next to the Mustang, Spit, 109 and Hurricane; she's pretty freakin huge. The a/c and the Kubel are 1/72, the tank thingy in the back is 1/144 if memory serves, the Redstone is the old Revell box scale kit, the A-wing is 1/48, and the Energia is 1/288.
Buddy- Those who say there are no stupid questions have never worked in customer service.
Well the Bearcat is small compared to other aircraft that used the same powerplant: F4U, F6F, and P-47. The Bearcat used the same design philosophy as the FW-190- build the smallest strong airframe possible around the most powerful radial engine available. But she fits right in with those more"petite" and sleek inline engined fighters.
and yes Lew, you better get your airfield personnel to clean up that flight line... lots of FOD damage just waiting to happen in those dusty conditions...
Well here are pics of the "save" on the decal mishap... with before and after
and the stern after a wash of Burnt Umber
and a couple views of the boat overall
I just need to clean up the wash, apply flat coat, do some last detail painting and add the windows.
Future is great stuff Stik have had that fogging happen to me and fmore future cleaned it right up.
for finished pics
Randy So many to build.......So little time
Looks great, Stik! You are a magician!

I wish that I could claim credit for coming up with the solution, but the credit goes to Forum member Gregbale in this thread from a couple weeks ago...

I am sure glad somebody else (Jake my friend) had a similar problem first.
Nice save, Stick! You da man!!! That's a pretty cool looking kit!! Thank God for Future!!
that is simple, every one that flew out under full load should RETURN with empty racks
I gotsa know how do you use the Tabasco sauce in modeling?
rule #1 in retract gear, when ever possible LOOK OUT THE FREAKING WINDOW and make sure the wheels are down!
we learned this from one of my dads flying partners, he landed a P210 on Catalina Island with the wheels UP. all he had to do is look down his shoulder and SEE the wheels. Even after he was removed from the group "hacksaw harry" came out and cut the locks on the tie downs and took the plane for a flight at least he did not belly land it again
It can make great molds though. 20 minute casting plaster can be had at the big box hardware stores [40 pounds or so] for about the same price as from craft stores. durite fresh removes large amounts of material, then when it is really old fold over something like a wet sponge and it will remove the minor spots, followed up by a wet cloth diaper {also GREAT inside the durite} to rub smooth, If you remove too much just add a wash of the plaster {you can add some color to the added stuff to help you see what you have added and take away.}
the mold is best let to dry out then paint it with something to seal the plaster ambroid cement the OLD school wood model glue thinned to a nice paint consistency then after that is dry, you can slap baby powder or corn starch
Used this method for 30 + years making artificial legs and braces....

Hey P38; looking good......what a crazy, nightmare taping job prior to painting that must have been!!
And DosTacos........you okay there? I keep tryin' to follow you bro', and keep getting lost. As for Tabasco sauce in modeling, if anyone knows how it can be used, it would be the great Don Hammerini........just don't mention 'salt chipping!'
Later gang!

The Senator in question is a character played by John Belushi. His character is the wild man of the fraternity who graduates college (eventually) and becomes a US Senator.
He's also responsible for one of the best lines in the film, when Delta is faced with Revocation of Charter by the Dean. Everyone is all bummed out, and Bluto tries to give them a pep talk.. "Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? NO!"
Ok.. I think I got the first page right again.. Check it though, and lemme know if I got it or I screwed the pooch, gang...

Stumped me with that one...
But frankly, I dunno what the hell Taco's talking about anyway...

Stripping paint!
The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
Didn't somebody ask, in an earlier post in the thread, about casting some replacement parts? That's what I thought of. Though, that may be from another thread or even forum entirely.

Yeah, thats what I thought at first, but then a whole sting of random stuff popped up!

P38, that Eagle is looking really wild in that dazzle scheme! Is that something for real or you dreamed it up off some inspiration?

oops I meant to include the other threads, the chili one is from a non US member who says he could not get chili where he was, so I offered to ship the spices...
then someone was complaining about striping all the bombs, so I said the come back with empty racks...
then several pictures with tabasco sauce on the work bench, just wondering....
then on a wildcat it was mentioned that it had windows in the floor to see the gear
and the last was talking about using plaster to make parts {using the plaster as the part}
that's what I get for grinding through 107 pages of comments, next time I will make sure the quote is included.... let the record reflect I ALMOST did it again
