My thoughts on it!

Salmon zinc chromate?!?!? The wonderful world of modeling where you learn new things!

I have one of those, it's great! It definitely helps and takes the fumes out. I use Vallejo paints for most part so not much fumes. Still very nice to have.

I'm in much the same situation, getting back to models after around 40ish years. Didn't have a airbrush back in the day so mine are a bit newer. Pretty new here myself and a hearty welcome!

I must be lucky or doing something right. My Synylrez is still good after 2 years. Been sitting for that time in a fairly cool place without any direct sun or artificial light. All the Vallejo acrylics seem to have faired well to other than settling out.

No worries, I'm doing the wells in a zinc chromate concoction.

Nice! Always good to get confirmation. Probably doing my usual over over thinking on what to do with the wheel wells.

From what I've seen on original examples there isn't much of a standard color for zinc chromate. I imagine it varies a lot between manufacturers, application techniques and aging. Honestly I usually just mix some green and yellow and call it a day. Unfortunately I don't have much photographic...

I know the instructions say zinc chromate and that makes sense to me. But every restored Corsair they're the same as the plane. That makes sense to. But it could be something done for the restoration

When I got back to the hobby a few years ago I bought a few Amazon AB's. Poking around Marketplace I found a Iwata HP-C for a very good price. Didn't use it before today. Tried using one of the better looking Amazon brushes, don't know if I put it together wrong but it was not spraying at...

It Hobby Boss, a nice enough kit I've got a couple more.

Nice! Got a Eduard PE kit for my Tamiya Mosie cockpit. Can't wait till I get to it.

It's a nice kit,been a bit since I built it. I'd recommend it. I'm not a nit picker but it is a good built.

Which 109? I thought both the Hobby Boss and Tamiya kits were top notch.

Thanks I'm glad to be back! Did a couple of builds, Tamiya P51D and a Hobby Boss ME 262. Doing mostly out of the box for now. Do things like seat belts and a few other things I remember

A retread from West Coast. Reviving my old hobby from childhood till early adulthood. Other hobbies and life distracted me. Bought a few kits a couple of years ago now. Life got in the way again and I am going to start again. I'm going back to my favorite subject 1/48 aircraft, mostly WW2 with...
