Hey y'all title says it all. I am looking for Zotz's 1/48 P-61 Venomous Widows Part II sheet(# 48036). I am really interested in the markings for "Nocturnal Nemesis". So with that said, if you don't want to part with the whole sheet but don't plan on using that set of markings please let me...

Thank you Terry.

Alright update time. I will start off with the 72nd Stryker first. Non-skid is finished, PE antenna bases in place, drivers hatch and winch cover is finished. The drivers hatch only lacks weathering and a wash, I still also have to install the reflective viewing ports. Next up 35th build...

Thank you all for the outstanding feedback. Well after many weeks I AM BACK [H]. For the last three years model building has been taking a back seat accept on school breaks and holidays. This was a must when you are a full-time student, father, husband, and employee. Well no more, on Friday, 10...

Thank you everyone for the great feedback. Ok,its been a couple of weeks since my last update, so I figured I would post some more progress. Work, family, and working on my duel degrees have left me with little time the last couple of weeks, but I did manage to get some building in. I was able...

OK, take two. Thank you all for the feedback and comments. After looking at several pictures of Strykers in the time frame I am depicting, and hearing from a couple of armor guys, I decided I needed to redo the weathering. So here we go, what do y'all think? Do we have a winner? Dave Fassett

Morning to all. I need y'all (as we say here in Texas) to give me some honest feedback. I was able to get the tires/wheels together and weathered on the 1/72 Stryker. This is where I need your feedback, do you think the weathering is just right, not enough, or to much. The 72nd build is going...

You are welcome Sir. I must say that I do still use CA on PE, but only on items I know will be out of "harms way" if you will. Now if there is a possibility that the part can be snagged, bumped, or handled a lot I will solder it. Dave Fassett

Thank you Wyoroy. I use a Weller model W60P soldering iron, Oatey 30011 No.5 solder paste/flux, and 60/40 rosin-core solder to do all of my soldering work. It is really easy just takes patience and practice, but it is well worth it. Well here is a small update. Work, family, and me working on...

Hello all, Well let me first start off by saying I am mainly an aircraft and helicopter builder so armor is not my strong point. With that said here are my latest builds. The TACP Stryker is for a local museum that contacted me and the ICV Stryker is for me. Both builds will have Eduards PE...

Here are some photos of my current build which,When finished, will be an AH-6M. The base kits are the 1/48 Academy MH-6 Stealth kit, CMK's AH-6F/J conversion set and engine set. These are all good starting points but there is still going to be a ton of modification and scratch building involved...

Thank you so much Peppylepugh, I sure hope you are right. I will be entering this build in its first show this weekend. Dave Fassett

You are very welcome Holden and TBadger. Thank you so much Quaralane and Andrei383 for the great comments and feedback. Dave Fassett

Thank you so much Holden and TBadger. To answer your question TBadger on the "Disco Ball" here is what I did. I sanded the Eduards PE piece until all of the silver coating was removed and the brass was revealed completely. Then I polished the brass with a piece of fine sandpaper to give it a...

Thank you Chris. Dave Fassett

WOW! Looks like you didn't miss a step in that 25 year break. Excellent work Sir. Dave Fassett

Outstanding work on the cabin and cockpit Holden. The colors and finish look right on the money. Dave Fassett

Thank you so much gentlemen for the great feedback and comments, they make this build all worth while. Void_1 you are absolutely correct, it is a great feeling and relief to know that this build is done. Again than you all. Dave Fassett

Thank you all for the outstanding feedback and comments. It was support like this from fellow modelers that helped me through this build and many like it. It also helps to be a little insane to ;D. Thank you all again. Dave Fassett
