Yes it's a pity that a lot of people do not understand how serious it is.
A personal THANK YOU to you Kevin.

Just finished this one. A Fujimi kit (1/72nd) I bought some considerable time ago. When I came to build it the decals had all crinkled up and were totally unusable. After a lot of thinking, head scratching and internet surfing I finally did two things:
I bought a second kit at great expense from the usa (there seems to be a world shortage of Fujimi kits) which had decals for one and a half models. To get to double up the additional decals I neededI bought some water slide sheets (both clear and white). I scanned in the decals from the new model and I was eventually able to print some off. These incuded the Japanese roundels and the black roof patches. I was quite surprised how weel the printed decals went on - they were very thin.
The model was airbrushed with mr hobby paints and Fiat white and then varnished.

« on: April 09, 2020, 02:08:15 PM »The plan is to have it in a small diorama along with a searchlight and rangefinder, maybe a soundlocater although I think that was a rouse in the 1940 publicity to hide that fact we had radar. Hopefully with crew. I will just about get this done and the. The likes of Tamiya will announce an IM kit for 1/3rd the price and with crew etc! ‘That’s Modelling’
Just a note on the soud locator stuff. It was actually tried some time arou d the first world war. There is in actual fact a concrete parabolic sound mirror near Spurn Point. I have a photo somewhere. (I apologise if you are already aware of this.)

Is that app available from the playstore?
There appear to be many apps available - some better than others.
