I should first state that I consider myself a beginner at this hobby and rank my skill level around the mediocre level. I'm working on a 1/700 scale Balao class submarine and it has a three basic four basic colors. The lower hull is hull red, followed by a black "strip", then a stripe of light...- Sander69

Need help with a color for a ww1 Albatros D.1
I'm building a Roden Albatros D.1 (1:72) airplane and the suggested colors confuse me. Roden lists Humbrol colors and one of the colors they suggest is Humbrol 120 Matt Light Green. But when I look at a color swatch for this color it does not look anything like a Light Green - it's just plain...- Sander69

Matching Pigment colors to specific locations
HElla Modellers! I have a question for you… Some back ground… My Mother’s Uncle (my Great Uncle?) was in North Africa and Southern Italy during world War 2 and we believe that he was in the Anzio breakout. He is credited with knocking out four German tanks in one day and I wanted to build a...- Sander69

inflight refueling probe for f-104
Does anyone know where I can find an inflight refueling probe for a 1/72 scale f-104? It doesn't even need to specifically be for a f-104, it just needs to be something close. I thought the f-105 would be similar but NO they are completely different creatures. Even if I had the dimensions of...- Sander69

Looking for a biplane jig for proper wing placement
Hi, I have been trying to find a retailer that sells a jig that I can use for biplanes. Specifically to fit the wings on properly. I’ve found two reviews for these types of products, the Aeroclub Biplane Assembly Jig and the Sram Biplane Assembly Jig. Does anyone know where I can purchase...- Sander69

Is there a way to post pictures from my desktop to the profile post area? The options I see are from a website or from another member's gallery. I'm new - is information like this posted somewhere on the forum? Thanks! -
Academy M10 GMC 1/35 Scale Build
The front of the left chair (which is the one on the right in the pictures above) shows the nasty break. There once was putty in that nasty gap in the fold of the chair but that went away in the sanding problem mentioned two pictures up. The right chair looks ok but one of my seat belts has...- Sander69

Academy M10 GMC 1/35 Scale Build
The next picture is the same thing but with a little different angle where you can see how bad the break on the left was. I did my best to hide it and it looks better than it does in the picture so I'm hoping in the dark interior of my M10 it is not too distracting.- Sander69

Academy M10 GMC 1/35 Scale Build
I believe that I have done all that I can do for these little chairs. I sanded the last one too thin and it cracked again but a quick dousing of CA saved it. The CA clean up was not fun but the chair is in one piece. In this photo, the chair on the right is the one that had the most damage...- Sander69

Academy M10 GMC 1/35 Scale Build
And then disaster happened. I dropped my little chairs onto the floor and in the process of trying to find them, I managed to step on both of them. So, now I am getting a lesson in 2-part putty sculpting. The upper right chair was just finished this morning. I'm still waiting for the putty...- Sander69

Academy M10 GMC 1/35 Scale Build
I’m not sure if the M10 had seat belts or not. I thought that it would have been a good idea to have had them. So I made some, anyway.- Sander69

Academy M10 GMC 1/35 Scale Build

Strange objects on my bench
Does anyone have any idea what these are and what they are used for? I'm sure I was surfing the web one night with a nice glass of Laphroaig in my hand when I stumbled upon them. This is usually when I decide that I cannot possibly live without these items and spend 50% of what they are worth...- Sander69

Operable engine hatch hinges
I found a nice picture that shows a crew cleaning the bore of an M10. This gives me some inspiration for a diorama. Aitape is in Papua New Guinea so I imagine that it is plenty hot by the looks of it! The caption reads "Cleaning the bore! M10 Wolverine 32nd Infantry Division 632nd Tank...- Sander69

Operable engine hatch hinges
In the book "M10 Tank Destroyer In Action" by David Doyle (Copyright 2015 Squadron/Signal Publications) there are several photos of M10s in Africa (March 1943) and Italy (October 1943). See below: page 18 of text (from page 26 of text). The text at the bottom of the photo says, "An M10...- Sander69

Operable engine hatch hinges
Hello, My model building experience up to this point in life has always been of the “out of the box” variety and I wish to learn to build more creative works. I live in a very rural area where modeling clubs do not exist. I have purchased both the Complete Encyclopedia Set of Aircraft, and...- Sander69
