Anyone else into building plastic model planes?
Here area few I have built over the years. I use enamel
paints instead of acrylic. One thing I have found useful for making the mottled camouflage is this:
1) Soak a piece of computer print paper in water for several hours. It should
be very pliable.
2) Drape the paper over the wings and fuselage. The horizontal stabilizers
should not be attached yet.
3) let that paper mould thoroughly dry. Let it sit for 24 hours at least.
4) Now use a paper punch and make the patterns on the paper mould.
5) Re-attach the mould with masking tape. Tamiya masking tape works great.
6) Airbrush over the paper mask and you should have a nice mottling effect.

Sweeeeeeeet! Hope you have grandkids ;-)

Nice..
It's been years since I built any. The prices sure have gone up on them. I know, cheaper off the internet.

You can get some good discounts at Hobby Lobby. Using their 40% off coupon you can get really decent pricing on airbrushes. Hobby Lobby carries good quality airbrushes. For the kits, shopping online gives the best discounts.

I have no grand kids. I was never married. I worked graveyard shifts most of my life. Plus it didn't help that I was into reclusive, stay-at-home, hobbies.

That just means you are ripe ;-)
(I lived in Nampa, I see you are close by there.)

I am trying to think of someplace you might one day
donate those wonderful objects that would appreciate them..
Veteran's hospitals?
