1/72 C-47 by Boh

Here is another article Boh did way back.  More than likely it was done in California. During the time he was a USAF recruiter in the San Francisco area.   Remember Dave telling me that he and Mike Dairo wrote a ton of article the magazine.  Also Dave said  the editor was a cheap S.O.B as the payment for the article came very slow...  Dave could work magic with an airbrush.  Enjoy another blast from the past. Thanks to Charlie Dunton for providing the article.

As soon as I give them I will post them here on the blog

Mr Hobby? Gunze thinners

Here are some charts about Gunze thinners.  Personally I have found these thinner to be excellent. There is a lot of confuse over what types of thinners to use with the primer or paint you are using.  Maybe this will clear it up some problems
