I agree with them, nothing seems to work right when trying to airbrush acrylics. Just how does one do it successfully? I use a single action badger. Merry Christmas & a ***HAPPY*** New year Bob ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) From: "Les Dorr Jr." Subject: PE details for USS America (CV-66) Just became the owner of a 1:720 USS America (CV-66). Does anyone have suggestions as to photoetched detail sets? Looks like GMM might have something, at least for railings, but don't know if the "Modern USN/JMSDF Warship" set includes the necessary radars and other assorted goodies suitable for a modern CV. Comments?

Thanks for the Xmas card. Very nice surprise ! I _did_ get a kit I always wanted, but it has nothing to do with ships; it's a Japanese WWII medium tank from Aurora in 1/48. Before not long, I didn't even know it existed, but it was sended to me by an american on rec.models.scale (all the way to Europe, and it arrived _just_ before the post offices would be closing for the holidays). Merry Christmas to all. Stefan. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- End of Volume
