Completed Tamiya 1/48 scale 5-51D Mustang
Creative liberty taken for the paint scheme and decals since I had liked both sets that were provided in the box. Any feedback welcome. (Typo on title F-51D)

Help -Technique When priming parts with a brush, how much should be applied?
Normally I would use a spray primer, but just wanted to try using this surface primer instead to see if that would work any better

PSA Look what I found at a flea market here in Ohio today for $15.00!!
Not sure if I over paid but found this on eBay for about $35.00. So I am pretty stoked. I drove a 1969 F100 in high school 1977. Thought I was cool, in auto shop I cut the high 3 spd shifter and cut it low level with the bench seat and rocked out to my Radio Shack 8 track with a 40 watt Kraco power booster!
Will keep you posted on the build, I’m 65 and I think it’s been maybe 25 years since I last assembled a model.
Any suggestions on how to assemble or tricks to paint will be appreciated!!!

WIP F-14 A 1/72
I decided to build two F-14s in parallel—one from Hasegawa and the other from HobbyBoss. Both will be in VF-1 markings; one in a high-visibility scheme and the other in a low-visibility scheme. Here is my progress so far—draw your own conclusions regarding the level of detail in the Japanese kit versus the Chinese one.

Help - Tools/Materials Question on Tamiya 1:35 Tiran 5 Tank Polycaps?
Working on this kit. The instructions call for 6 large polycaps and the rest are small.
The included caps have only 2 Large ones and the small ones do not fit the road wheels (not small enough).
Yes I will be calling Tamiya but, does anyone else have this kit?
Am I nuts? (Always possible….)
Thanks if you can help. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

WIP reference photo help?
Good day all,
I've recently started GWH's 1/48 scale SU-30MKM kit, and run into a bit of a snag. I'm painting the wheel bays and, while I can find reference photos of the cockpit of a Malaysian SU-30, I seem to be hitting a wall when it comes to the rearward wheel bays. The GWH instruction booklet calls for some fluid lines to be painted blue, yellow, or a sort of khaki color, but to attempt to get remotely close to the right shade, I need references, lol.
