1/35 KV-2 BUNKER BUSTER BY TRUMPETER

[GerryW]

Again no modelling today, Management and I are going to the garden center this afternoon !
First time we've actually gone out to one for over a year.
No doubt much spending will occur, the car will be full to the brim.
Oh happy days.
Bye for now .

Have fun!

I thank you for your concern over the oldies going out in this weather..
I can quite see why bears sleep in the winter and only come out again when it's warmer !

 

[GerryW]

Been tempted to try hibernating myself, but always too much to do.
Still, the snow has gone - for now, anyway.

We hope Gerry to think I spent the last few years till I retired working out side with spells in the workshop in all weather's and never thought any thing about it . Gone soft since I retired .

Similar for me - in and out of the cab every few minutes, doing palletised deliveries in all weathers

There will now follow a short break to this build, while I strip the paint from the model and look for a new ab.
Why I hear you ask. Well the H&S ab are so messed up they are going into the scrap bin.

I'd messed up the needles and nozzles some time ago. Spent more money replacing those to no avail. Next I changed the inner seals, a little better, but still not right. After this afternoon when I attempted to spray a clear coat of chipping fluid which was a battle of continues cleaning of the nozzle, then when the hull was dry I tried the new AK 3RD gen 4BO. All I managed to do was to get loads of back flow up the side of the hull and up the spray booth sides. There comes a time when enough is enough. They work perfectly airwise without and nozzle on, but as soon as I fit a nozzle and tip the trouble starts. Naturally I have no faith in replacing any more parts. I've got to the point where I'd rather spend for a new make.
I need a simple idiot proof ab that's all, so any suggestions welcome. thanks.

Sorry to hear of your problem,I think your choice is a personal thing as one mans meat is another man's poison, I use a mr hobby procon boy with a 2 needle you can get them with bigger but saying that I've a couple of bart sharpe sub thirty pounders that get just as much use ,the only advise I would give is whatever your choice make sure the seals can cope with lacquer products , as a final thought its your choice I dont know quite how to put this without upsetting too many but there's a lot of airbrush tarts out there ,I spend a lot of time fishing and the same applies a awfull lot of tackle tarts but it doesn't mean there going to catch more fish.

Hi John
Sorry to hear of the airbrush problems but I agree, enough is enough. Have you considered an Iwata trigger airbrush like Bob has just bought. Maybe a pm to him for his thoughts.

There's 'kit tarts' in all hobbies - get a lot of them in airgunning (spend £4k on guns and still can't hit anything!)

Yes do agree choice is a personal thing David. I've been looking at the Mr Hobby procon. Also I could risk it and get a new nozzle / needle set for the Ultra , unfortunately no .4 in stock. As I only spray acrylic seals wouldn't be a problem. But now I've lost all faith in buying spares for the H& S.

Might well do that Jim, thanks. So many makes, don't want cheap one and have problems, nor spend what I did for the INFINITY either.

Too easy to fall for the adverts Gerry.

Just out of interest, my Iwatta doesn’t have seals .......it’s an eclipse HP-SBS side feed. Strip down in seconds and everything is easy to reach for cleaning. I’ve had it for around seven years and it’s done everything I want and never missed a beat. I’ve even sprayed dilute PVA through it to solidify scatter foliage on bushes.....
