It's been a journey ... and it looks like I'm the first to reach the destination, at least in the 48 version.

Tim HofstetterPHOTO ETCH. Ever since I restarted model building, I've been seeing references to PE parts... and I've been puzzling about that. To me, PE stands for polyethylene, but that cannot be adhered with solvent cement, so my brow has just remained wrinkled. Finally today, seeing build, reading your notes, I realize that PE has all along almost certainly been a reference to brass / copper photo-etched parts.
Thank you for that. 😎
I think your build is beyond both my skill level and my patience level. Probably my budget as well. 😎

@Bernhard I will have it with me in Lingen for sure, and your metal too! It is very unlikely that the flea will hop away, as the resin makes it very heavy for its size 🙂

bughunter AutorYeah, I painted it - but the used green looks much too military for my taste! I tried to fix it with another layer, but ant the end I washed the whole paint away.
MiniArt recommends Tamiya XF-05 for it, much that looks totally different compared to the 3D view in manual.
This week I had the chance to look in the other new MiniArt box "Military Service", the 3D view looks much different regarding the green shade compared to my instructions but the same XF-05 is recommended?!
I need to find a better green or mix my own.
But I will finish the Vega first, as I received today a letter with used spare decals - which fits to my needs 🙂

Christoph KunzI only have "Discussions / Reviews / Community activities" under Activity, but no "Spam reports". Somebody can explain me why?
18 February 2024, 19:10
bughunter AutorThat comes only into the list, if there is at least one spammer reported and wait for votes. If the spammer is kicked with enough votes the list entry is gone.
It is the same principle as with other filterings here - a empty element is not shown (e.g. if you filter for "Propeller" in "Category", the only "Aircraft" is displayed in "Group" as all other entries has 0 elements.
BTW: this album is used to explain my reports in "Feature requests". Many of them are fixed, so maybe I should delete those pics.

Ben, the fan was part of the kit. It offers also two possibilities for the mesh: a clear part with decal (see decal 5 in pic4) or a plastic mesh (on the right in pic 4). My metal mesh was finer.

@Jennifer you are right! Nothing looks like wood like real wood 🙂 Because they were made of mahogany and there was no shortage of it in Great Britain, the individual layers here are made of the same wood.
@David Many, or more precise 9 Sopwith types are already in my cabinet. There are not much types left, where a kit in 1:48 is available. But at least Snipe, Baby and 1 1/2 Strutter are waiting in my stash.

bughunter AutorWow Robert, you were very fast while I'm uploading and adding a description to the pics! Welcome!
That is not really a WIP album yet, but I made an experiment on a left over Pfalz wing to reach to look of the colored profile painted again by Ronny Bar:
Primed gray, added Semi Matt Aluminium, masked and painted two crosses.
The dark red at the front will be a different story ...
Then I tried different highly thinned blue paints. H322 was not bad, but do not cover the black cross, or only with very much paint. But I'm happy after adding a drop of light gray to the paint mix.

bughunterFolks, please use a mask with a filter when airbrushing! I only work with a paint booth with extraction, but still wear a mask. This week I changed the filters and it was amazing how many colour particles were in the pre-filter for dust! I'm glad they're not in my lungs now 👍
7 27 July 2024, 14:00
bughunter AutorYes Ben, you shuold. Really. No joke!
Even though my airbrush booth extracts 3 cubic metres of air per minute, I can see in the sunlight under my roof window that vortices form when the airflow from the airbrush hits surfaces. These vortices transport pigments that would be inhaled in the area in front of the booth.
29 July 2024, 11:10
Robin (WhiteGlint)Yes, definitely always wear a mask. I remember when I didn't have my paint booth, how often I had to change my filters....
The booth helps but I can still see that there's pigments in the dust filter over a longer period of time. I wish I could extract it directly like you do bughunter but my room setup does not allow it. But at least in summer I can keep the windows open for ventilation and use an air purifier if necessary.
