Yep, took stock yesterday and I gots .020 in stock as well. Like the idea of glue tabs, I can see a definate need for that. I started out on a little project yesterday using leftover bits laying on the bench just to exercise the skills a bit....... http://i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q669/shayguru/d...

VERY NICE AKIRA!!!!!! Thats the kinda build I like to do!!!! What scale is that in?

Query....I'm using the decal Film Avlible from Micromark for the Inkjet, and I'm liking it pretty good. BUT, I would like to find something with a bit thinner carrier material for 1:144 aircraft use....I need both clear and white carriers, any suggestions?
