    Getting back into modeling.

    I put all my models in a dehydrator after painting. I just use a small one I had for making deer jerky. Not very expensive but will not accommodate larger 1/48th scale planes so those get to sit and cure naturally.

    STYNYLREZ Primers.

    I've used it with good results. I have heard complaints from folks that ordered it and got it delivered during cold weather and apparently it doesn't like the cold.

    I started with a set up like this but have since switched to the compressor with the air tank like Pantherman posted. I recommend you go straight to the one with the tank, it's a world of difference.

    Thanks I might give it a try. I'm on a no primer kick right now but I may have to give that a try. I like Stynylrez but it does have a smell to it. Nothing harsh but it stinks.

    Tamiya AS color conversion chart for mixing Tamiya acrylics

    Just a Thought about Airplane Canopies

    Good grief that would probably take me a month to mask that canopy. I find canopy masking to be intense and take many breaks while trying to get a good mask on a canopy. Wearing reading glasses while looking through a small lighted magnifying lamp wears on the eyes quickly. Currently letting...

    Thank you. I lightly marked the pattern on the plane with a pencil before I painted it and then prayed and sprayed. It's your typical good Tamiya kit to build.
