Latest Acquisitions (2020)

[yak face]

Fearing that the ESM show will be cancelled too this year and my usual way of getting the DutchDecal stuff directly gone, some the refs and decals I wanted were ordered instead by a big shop that also happens to have a big assortment of Dutch air force related things:nerd::

Where did you find such a good stock...everywhere I look is sold out of the majority

What exactly is a lacquer compared to enamels or acrylics? Are they specifically for air brushes?

Postie in van just dropped this off


Not expensive and to use for fine work, has a .2mm needle, also you can alter the needles movement and a removable cup.

It’s a different type of paint, but it’s not as simple as “not enamel or acrylic” because lacquers can be acrylic-based as well as solvent-based. I don’t know the details and I’ve never used them, however — this is about as far as my knowledge of them stretches. I’m sure others here will be able to tell you more.

I have found lacqure to be easy to thin and use. Sprays and covers very well. Had no problems at all, i use liquid reamer spray to clean the airbrush.

Negatives, it stinks and a mask is vital, not a huge choice of colours.

To compliment my new compressor. Sparmax Silver Bullet - MAC

Combined MAC valve and filter/water trap. I know the new compressor has a water trap but on Bob's (Mr Bowcat) suggestion I decided to double up. I have always relied on a MAC valve to finely tune the air pressure. This fits neatly on the end of the hose and my quick release attaches to the other end. Really feels well made.

Looks like you're well on your way to a "six gun" trailer! Rick H.

[minitnkr]

All from SmallScaleHobbies. Trains' mechs added rebar wire to the trailer floor to lesson slipnfall hazard under duress from shell casings. Luckily have extra interiors from other conversions so making the /21s into /1s is easypeasey. I like the extra protection for /11s so use /21 uppers on them. PaulE
