building Revell 1/72 B-17

Great reference video

Amazing video of Eduard FW-190 build

Had to post this video.  It is a great video to watch.  Plus learn a few things.  Sit back with a beer and enjoy.

Video of recovery of a DB605AS engine from a crash site.

I thought I would post this video.  A group of Polish people recovery a DB605AS.   What I found interesting is the Red warning note on the side of the engine block.

Update.  The Warning is for the firing order on the engine.   The order is different than the normal sequence.  Reading some posts on another site suggests that the changed firing order produce higher horse power. 

Black base. Instead of Grey primer.

 This looks an interesting painting technique.  Think I will try this out on my next model.  One has to experiment sometimes.   Check out the video.   The video is from Doog's video channel on you tube.
