SMD's for flood lights on refit 1:537 and 1 :350

Anyone have recommendations for Hull ID floods? There are so many I don't know where to begin. Is there a graphic to show you what light should be aimed where? I have a new repop 1/537 that is almost smoothed and I have two 1/350 refits (one first release from years ago) and trying to get the best i...

Interference pigments and "yellowing"

Working on the JJPrise and trying these interference pigments. Problem is when I lay the coat down it looks yellow. I've tried future and also Tamiya clear x22. They both "yellow" the hull. Any ideas?

Just got one of your lighting kits direct from you. Started by hooking up power and the board LED came on. Next circuit was the marker (strobe) which did not operate. Now I am more electrical then electronic. Checked continuity on both negative terminals (for power and strobe) and nothing. Checked v...

I will certainly try that. Going to pick up some frog tape from Sherwin Williams today. I just hate ordering stuff like that. Especially since Enterprise E just came today

I will try those if I can find them, if not I will order them. Hobby Lobby may have it. Thanks for the quick reply. I was tired last night and probably shouldn't have even picked it up.

really P.O.ed last night frisket lifted pain off

Well, I am fairly new to the airbrush. I played with one before but not that much. Recently got a Enterprise C reissue and wanted to try airbrush for the paint scheme. It looked great, until the frisket peeled the paint right off. I did soak/wash the model but I did not prime it. What type of primer...

Oh, my apologies sir! I was an AC troubleshooting guy, I have a fluke 322. Hanging head in shame which one is pin 3909? I am assuming it is off the chip. Will check the base solder joints again.

DLM Warp Waddell system

First of all I have to say this is a great kit and reasonably priced if you buy the upgrade parts. My problem is I can't get the ion pods to strobe. The nav lights are working fine, but I can not get those lights to blink at all! Thanks in advance.

Years ago (in the 80's) my dad used to work at a sign shop. He would get me this very thin glue they would use for the plastics of signs. It had a needle applicator and would set up almost as fast if not faster then super glue. Anyone know what this may be? And where to get it?
