How did they do that?

All,

I was reading the Academy 1/32 F/A-18D kit review on ipms.org and the cockpit looked amazing. I was wondering if there are any internet resources that will describe how to achieve that sort of quality in workmanship.

I realize that a large part comes with experience--so I won't get into that. Experience counts. However, I am looking for a step by step, i.e. a) Grab seat with tweezers, b) Apply paint to seat belt with #0 brush c) Let it dry...etc etc etc.

Any advice/help will be appreciated.

Regards,

H

I thought that I'd like to see the review, so I typed "ipms.org" into the address bar. I arrived at the homepage of the Iowa Podiatric Medical Society! :-)

Not to worry... I've found it now...

BTW - if you plan on building your A-D Hornet with the wings folded, the ailerons should be faired flush...they have to be in order to fold the wings, even though the flaps are down - the guy doing the build on the IPMS site is getting it wrong. (Note that this is NOT true of a Super Hornet.) Check your refs, guys...

Try googling 'Edgar Maas' sometime. You get anything except the author. Apparently the FBI has some EDGAR program and everyone has an article about it.

I 'think' he's an historical novelist. That's based on the one book of his I've read.

Cool. Get any of that Dutch Goth group? They sounded good on DW TV.

Hmm, Bauhaus, Kreuzen, (Einstürzende) Neubauten (?) These names sound rather GERMAN to my ears. Are you sure they're Dutch. Most popular Dutch Gothic band here (the Netherlands) is "Within Temptation" But as it is not my kinda music I could be wrong.

Cheers, Dennis

That's the group. Sounded good on the short clip on DW TV but I don't know any tune titles.
