[Best paint color for guns]

Try flat black, then rub with graphite on a cotton bud.

Nice job, Federico! A great step-by-step lesson.

[Best scribing tool]

I have both the large and small UMM scribers. Highly recommended.

Work started on the cockpit assembly. I've decided to prepare the interior bits before airbrushing the interior with a coat of off-white followed by hand-painting the wooden frame. Exhaust drilled out. It's a beginning.

[Looking for Mr. Pat Donohue]

Tom,

I suggest you get in touch with Mary Jane in our national office about this. Her address is mj@ipmsusa.org

She is the person who can get you the info...or at least tell you whether he's still a member. She seldom, if ever, frequents this forum.

 

hth,

[Last Monogram military model]

A significant achievement, Ron! Another bucket list item checked off!

[1/72 Airfix Sea Hurricane MkII]

Yep, got one of those too!

[Uses for household items]

I've found the containers Chic-fil-a sandwich wraps come in make great storage containers for my kits as they are "in-progress" to keep all my parts, etc. sorted in one place. Oh, and it gives me an excuse to go there for lunch often!

[1/72 Airfix Sea Hurricane MkII]

Is this a new tooling or one of their older efforts? I just bought their new Gloucester Gladiator and am impressed with Airfix's latest offerings.

Well done! Thanks so much for sharing these, Freddie! Just what the desert tread head ordered...

[Combined painting technique, Splattered/dragged/veil]

Always glad to see new ways of creating realistic wood finishes. Thanks so much for sharing, Freddie!

[Modeler in need of direction....(instructions) Can you help?]

Thanks Mark, it's a start....

[Modeler in need of direction....(instructions) Can you help?]

I'm posting this request in hopes that someone out there might have the instruction sheet for this kit. If you can help, I'll give you his email address and you can work it out directly with Dr. Ron.

Hello, I am Dr. Ronald Quiambao, I’m from the Philippines and I was able to get hold of your website

My brother bought a kit way back in the 80’s. I was busy studying in college and was not able to start/finish

it and was kept in a box for a long time.

At present, I decided to go back to doing model kits and found some of my unfinished ones in my ancestral

home. One of the kits is missing an assembly instruction manual and I tried looking for it all around the house but at this time

I already accepted its fate.

Then I found a picture of the box in your website. I am not sure, but there is nothing wrong if I ask if your office IPMS

has a copy of its assembly instructions? And if yes, can you send a scanned copy it to me online via my email address? I would really appreciate it.

The model kit’s name is :

1 Ton half-track Sd.Kfz.10 with M-18 Howitzer ESCI 5008 1/35

Thank you for the help and for your time. Have a nice day.

Best regards,

Dr. Ron
