Came across this stuff that might work for what you’re trying to achieve… https://mcwfinishes.com/shop/ols/products/1350-black-texture

Might be easier getting this. Yes, it’s a bit pricey, and yes it’s for the Italeri kit but that’s irrelevant. It should work on yours. Save yourself the frustration...

We’re all civilians as hobbyists. LOL! Hell, I’m hard of hearing and never served in the military. I’ve done a fair enough aircraft kits in my life. So reading aviation magazines, books, online sources, etc… is basically research.

If the missus says you have too many model kits, ask her when was the last time she looked in her closet filled with shoes, clothes, makeup products, hair care products, and jewelry. That’ll shut her up. LOL!

That’s the exact Dremel I have. The variable speed is a big plus feature.

Pampered.. eeehhh. They are stored under open hangars though. They still get dirty but not as bad as Navy jets on carriers. Keep in mind, they don’t wash them down after every flight.

Looks similar to the Dremel. Variable speed?

The only way to get white is get decal paper with white backing, not clear. The downside is you’ll have to trim/cut exact on the color edges.

There are no 1/35 scale jet kits - rarely produced if that. I’m assuming you meant 1/48 scale. I would advise against using sharpie markers. It will not end well if you even attempt to try it. Once you use it, you will not be able to wipe away excess since it is a PERMANENT marker. But hey, see...

I agree with Tim. But hey… whatever floats your boat. I very rarely use hardware store sandpaper. Stick with sanding sticks or sanding blocks. Those disposable nail files also works well - those dual grit sides are good too. Cheaper too if you get a bunch. They’ll last longer and can be used...

Not really. It’s up to the individual. I’ll black base on some aircraft kits, then move on to some mottling work prior to camo work.

Auto spares are a gold mine. I once had a big ol’ tin - 12” Dia. x 4 or 5 inches high. Ended up tossing them when I moved in my home. Didn’t think I was gonna return to this hobby then. Now I wished I hadn’t. I had everything - engine blocks, valve covers, manifolds, carburetors, air cleaners...

I save all spare parts regardless of subject be it by land, air, and sea. You’d be surprised what you might need down the road.

Are you sure a You haven’t been thru hell until you do stencils on an F-4 Phantom. LOLZ!

You sure about that? Want proof? Take a look at these photos. They are not “spotless” as your so call LHS owner claims they are. Again, they are exposed to all kinds of elements on the high seas. I stand corrected that Navy aircrafts are dirty. Even USMC F/A-18 Hornets are dirty. The only...

Nope, not a typo or error. Oldcarmodels is a legitimate site and description is accurate. Look in eBay. You might get lucky winning a bid.
