  1. Hey Gil That was GREAT ! I like everything you said and I'm going to take your suggestions I like the tape on either side of the seam also. You think its a good idea to sand down the nose and start over again. Thinning the putty, sanding with very fine sand paper in a circular motion Then hit it with primer sand that lightly, then silver paint. Let me know what you think of this. Thanks so much Gil 4 trying to correct my modeling mistakes.
  2. Hi Gil (Newbie Here) Gil please take a look at this ebay parts listing. Is this what I need ? My air hose is FEMALE 1/4IN. So I can take off my Quick Release Fitting and install this one on ebay to hook-u[ my Sears Compressor with regulator gauge on it . http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Pcs-1-4-BSP-Air-Line-Hose-Fittings-Coupler-Bayonet-Connectors-Male-Female-Set-/112260298917?hash=item1a233c38a5:g:Zn8AAOSw-0xYb1sm&item=112260298917&vxp=mtr Let me know what you think ? if your answer is YES, then I'll buy the fittings. Thanks Gil 4 trying to help this ol' man out . . . lol
  3. Hi Guys (Newbie Here) Well I just finished putting my first 1/72 P-51 Mustang together and painted it. Decals will come later. But first, we got a problem Houston . . . lo Seriously, guys I filed the seams on both side of my plane figuring that I've got a good strong seam WRONG The stuff I bought being new at this modeling deal was; TAMIYA PUTTY WHITE stuff is rough to work with. LUMPS that's what I got. Putting it on and then sanding it, i still had a problem. I figure after I painted with the silver paint it would cover up the LUMPY area - WRONG ! Please see the attachment. Guys what can I do to improve with using putty. I order MULLIPUT I think that's the way you spell it ? I read I can thin it out and smooth it on the seams better. I let you know I it turns out on my next project. Meanwhile, how can I CORRECT what the nose looks like now. I can sand it down, re-sand it and putty it up again with the new putty that's coming in the mail. O.K. guys I'm in your hands and I'll wait upon you suggestions and DO THEM ! i remain A NEWBIE 4 NOW
  4. Hi Guys ( Newbie Here ) Well I'm almost there, getting my new IWATA airbrush going. However, Huston we have a problem . . . lol Seriously guys. I have Sears Air compressor 125HP with gauges, I bought some years ago to fill my tires with air. Just getting into airbrushing, I figure maybe I can get away with buying $$$ an air brush compressor. Now the problem as seen in the attachment. There is the Quick Release Fitting that on the SEARS Compressor & the airbrush hose. Question(s) Is there a fitting / attachment that will attach my air hose to the quick release fitting that's on Sears compressor? HELP ! ! !
  5. Hey VonL Great suggestions I have an b ACE STORE not far from my home. What I'm looking forward to do is; Get a quick release or non to attach to my SEARS 125PSI 3gal. compressor to my airbrush hose. Thanks Ray a.k.a. schooner IPMS #50394

  7. Hey Ron I have a Sears 125PSI 3 gallon. With pressor gauages & regulator. I'm brand new to airbrushing just a month. Could I use certain fitting to hook- up my airbrush?

  9. Hey (newbie Here? Here are some pics of my SEARS A/Compressor to help me guys to buy the correct fittings so I can hook-up my newly bought my IWATA SINGLE Action hp m2 airbrush. Hopefully you guys can show me what size fittings do I can fit a good air brush hose too. Question: Is there a reducing fitting to my main outlet and the right size to my airbrush? So the the way is attached new air hose to Sears compressor then to airbrush hopefully.All this not to buy a airbrush compressor.
