1/72 Airfix Me-109/Avro 504 Crosskitting

[Brian da Basher]

I'm tickled beyond words that you guys like my little builds. There is something about those spats that do it to me too. That must be why I go through the agony of molding them from putty etc. I keep looking for a better method but...oh well. Leigh, thanks for your suggestion on filling fuselage holes. Next time I'm at the LHS I'll have to invest in some Tenax.

This board has utterly spoiled me. My next build be be a little ho-hum for whif-world. It's the 1/72 Matchbox Boeing P-12/F-4B biplane that I'm painting up in what-if naval war games camo scheme for the Matchbox GB over on Alpha-Romeo-Charlie. The paint scheme is a test for the twin engine Douglas T2D I plan on bashing from the William's Bros. Douglas World Cruiser kit.

P.S. Those spats get into your blood. I took Phil up on a few of his value-priced offerings over on the Swap Shop and two of the five kits I inquired about have spats.

Well thank you for sharing them with us Brian.
Word to the wise about Tenax it evaporates like nobody's business, it's great stuff but if you leave the lid off for a coupla hours it'll be gone, found this out the expensive way. Laquer thinner works almost as well as Tenax in alot of applications just not quite as potent.
