      I was told by a club member that the smoke caused the superstructire to become very dirty very quickly.

      Anyone confirm this?

      I don't have any experience of this Jankers and I have used a number of oil fired and water powered ones. I have never put any form of colourant in my water ones though and I suspect that might be a cause of discolouration.

      The big difference being that the water ones (JJC type) produce a cold water vapour that is heavier than air so the 'smoke' falls onto the model if there is no windage over it. If you have put any form of dye or colourant into the water I suspect it may then recondense on the model and cause the dye to stain it. I would rely on the plain water, it looks good enough for me.

      Thanks Richard,
      The ifo was given me some years ago, certainly before the advent of the water/smoke type of unit, so it could be that the oil used was causing the deposits. In any event, the water type should take care of such matters.
