"Snowy Wind" - Yukikaze: Tamiya's 1/350th Scale Japanese Navy Destroyer

[TRM]

Thank you Roy!   I do like the Alcad primer.  Goes on pretty smooth and has that "micro filler" quality!  No complaints!!

[spud]

yep its great i use the grey with micro filler for my figures,

will that be the final color on teh lower hull? looks kinda dead compaired to the big bright red ya normaly see of is it like this to be part of teh weathering?

the preshading coming trough looks good too.

oh is it finished yet

[scratchmod]

Good to see the paint going on T. Looks mighty sharp bro. yep, love that needle juice. Works great don't it.

[spud]

and whats this needle oil bever heard or seen of it till now

[TRM]

Hi again spud!!

The hull:  yes, done with paint....tons of washes, filter, oils, kitchen sink....


Needle Juice:  "The Juice"    Basically a specialized lubrication oil for air brushes from Badger.
Makes the action on your AB feel brand new!!!

Hey Rob!!  Thanks!!  ...."The Juice"...Good!!

[Myke]

Hmmm, have to get me some of that juice! Never tried that before.

Nice update, sharp looking hull there! Keep it coming buddy.

[spud]

any ider were it can be foun on this side of the pond?

[fumblethumbs]

Excellent update T!  Great of you to let the laymen (me) behind the curtain to see some of the tricks and tecniques you use to get such awesome results.  That's one of the most convincing lower hull jobs I've ever seen.  I really like ship models although I've only done a couple.  I"ll be bookmarking your build here to use when I tackle the Tamiya 1/350 Fletcher class I have IBOS (in box on shelf).  So then, that needle juice...Just for the dual action action or...?  Looking forward to your next update T!!

Hey guys!

The Badger Needle Juice Question...

I originally picked my bottle direct  from Iain from AKInteractive USA at a local show.  I contacted Iain and he is currently out of stock.  He did forward two Online stores that might have the "Juice"!   Sorry only US at the moment...I am still checking for UK

MIDTENNHOBBIES.com   http://store.midtennhobbies.com/categories.aspx?Keyword=needle%20juice   - 2 instock

& Possibly

http://coastairbrush.com/index.html   -   I have not checked out to see if this is in stock or even if they carry it.

After speaking with Iain, he mentioned working to get this item back into stock soon.  If I hear of a restocking, I will certainly post it right away.  I have bought several item from Iain and his service is impeccable.

Myke, Thank you  for the kind words BTW!!

Spud...still looking at the moment

FT....I will keep my eye out for the Fletcher Class another great model from Tamiya...count me in  for that build.  Glad to have you along here.  As for the "Juice", it is a lubricant that works on making a smooth action of the needle...so yes, single and/or duel action AB. 

Thanks again!!

[spud]

i wonder would teh ab company sell it.. off to look.
thanks for looking T.

Nope they dont.

[TRM]

Spud and All,

I just spoke with Iain from AK Interative again.  Busy busy man ...always on the run.  He told me that in the near future that The Needle Juice will be available through The AK site. ...all this as he was "running out".   He might have some time to talk later. 

 

[spud]

the AK site over herer could do with having the payment page changed to english one reason and the 9euro shipping i wont buy direct from them.

[TRM]

Sorry spud...thinking he was meaning the AK USA site.  I will update when I get more info.

[spud]

Good man
