WENT TO OLLIE AND GOT TWO M46 TANK KITS FOR EIGHT DOLLARS TWO WEEK AGO.TRYING TO GET BACK IN THE HOBBY AFTER 12YEARS.ALSO GOING THROUGH MY BOXES.. TAKE CARE@@chrispacer4231
Yes thank you it's this music from the high in the mighty starring John Wayne I kept thinking it was from Lawrence of Arabia during the intermission part but you're right it's the high in the mighty I love that movie
I saw that new SST model on a shelf at a local shop as well. I too had to resist the urge which was very hard to say no as it was very reasonably priced. It’s has two sets of decals - I like the yellow paint scheme!
Welcome to the Tamiya Extra Thin Meets Thumb Club, Max! It's happened to me more than once, and results in a blue cloud surrounding the work bench. Although I've been very good about not buying new kits and concentrating on reducing the stash, I think I'll have to get that kit for a quick build. The Pan Am decals sealed the deal.
@@lancerevell5979 Yeah. We were there from about 10:30 to 5. My knees are killing me from all that walking. I saw a couple of good USS Arizona models, 3 and 4 feet long. But not the big vintage one missing from the U of A. Lots of planes.
The trick to using a hypodermic needle to apply glue is to ignore the plunger except to load it. Once the sringe is loaded, touch the needle to the point. Capillary action will draw the cement into the joint. Presto!
For the water thin glues like that, get a Flex-i-file 'Touch-n-Flow' needle. its a glass tube with a super tiny hollow needle. I used mine for years with tenex-7, THAT was great glue which i guess gave me cancer, since you cant get it anymore. It can manage the tiniest amount of water glue. great product, I've had mine for years.
I love that outro song I don't know the name of it All I know is when you hear that and orchestra music begin you know you're about to watch a really good classic movie
I have the Revell B-17 in the stash. A friend of mine picked it up at a flea market for $3.00. It had been opened and barely started…just some paint on the interior fuselage. All the parts are there. It will probably be my next build.
Cool pick-up on that Boeing SST kit. I THINK I have it in my stash, but didn't think it was that small..........it has Been awhile since I seen it, in my garage....I have to dig it up.
As to the SPAD ( A-1 Skyraider) missing parts. You can scratch build those two parts.😊 Use styrene rod and sand narrow each end till it looks like the one for the other landing gear part. Same approach with the other part. Start with a length of styrene square/ rectangular and remove plastic to the same dimensions in the picture Model On
SLOT CARS: Auto World makes reproduction modern Thunder Jet and the original AFX chassies with traction magnets. Good cars but require some work and tweaking to make them run well Their track is compatible with the RaceMasters AFX track. RaceMasters AFX is the modern continuation of the original Auroura companies slot cars. They make the Mega G + chassis which is a very modern altrnative to the clasics. VERY fast right out of the box. Both companies bodies are excelent when it come to details and mostly are backwards compatible with the original ThundrJet and AFX Chassis of the 60's and 70's. This doean't even come close to covering the Cottage Industries out there now making chassis and bodies that would boggle the mind!
SST kit is a nice model. I remember building it back when it was released by Monogram. Prototype was insane, no idea where they planned on it flying. Close to 300 feet long. Not sure about the runway/terminal requirements. I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Plane was supposed to fly at Mach 2.7. Did they even consider the issues of residual skin temperature on getting passengers and luggage off the plane when it landed? The blackbird has special mobile scaffolding to get the crew off after a mission.
I'm trying to think of what movie this song is from I keep thinking Lawrence of Arabia for some reason during the intermission part of the movie back when movies were so long they had to have an intermission halfway through lol
You know at the end of the day it's probably a good thing that Blowing-I mean Boeing lol, never built that plane or else we'd be reading about its door plug blowing off the plane at Mach 1.5 lol
Testors paints aren't going anywhere. From what I understand, it was Modelmaster and Polyscale that was axed. But regular Testors isn't going anywhere.
Nope. Just get more expensive. I can't believe what they cost now. With much better products out and available now a days. The 1/4oz testors was $.14 when I started building. Now if I'm lucky, $2.99. But I still like the cement.
@robh7421 This is true. For a dollar more, you can get Tamiya paint. But if I was starting out a new modeler. I'd still have them use Testors enamels. The drying time will help teach patience, I know it did me.
@scale_model_apprentice this is true, but other enamels are available. I agree lacquer or acrylics definitely dry much faster, but teaching my kids to build, I'd rather see them get more paint for the money and allow them to use them on more kits. Not to mention since I do use primarily Mr. Color or Tamiya paints, they're already available. I do like the testors products. But the bang for the buck just isn't there anymore. That's all I was saying. And im not sure what tamiya or Mr. Color go for down there? But here theyre the exact same price as testors now. For half the paint. Hope you guys are doing well! I don't see you on your channel much anymore! God bless!
@robh7421 Yes, these last months have been insane. Hopefully, gonna put out a sideshow of completed projects soon, then start on documenting a special build.
[4:18] PanAm decals, of course, because the Future ain't the Future without PanAm.
heck yeah!
I appreciate it when you bring more new products to our attention and point out pros and cons. Consumer education for modelers.
Sometimes it's best to just get out the old tube of Testors.
10-4
My main go-to glue! Keep trying others, keep going back to Big Red. 😎👍
Hope it doesn't go away. @@lancerevell5979
You got that right!
All looks amazing, wish there was a hobby store by my place, swear I live in a hobby store desert.
😪 sadness
It is a sad state of affairs for most modelers.
I’ve resorted to shopping on €Bay over the last few months
I can Buy the things I’ve been looking for…

Great video. Cool that you and Mike are meeting in Ground Hog Day.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND OFF MAX,THAT JET AIRLINER LOOK GREAT,SMALL BUT GREAT.WOULD LOVE TO SEE GODZILLA HOLDING IT. GOD BLESS
I use thin wire to apply the thin CA glues. Find it's even better than trying the thinnest brush in the world.
“The High and the Mighty” was an awesome film!

super easy
Oh Yeah. My British friend Barry, who's retired from British Airways is visiting Tucson. We're going to the Pima Air and Space Museum tomorrow!
That's a major Bucket List item for me! 😊

Lots of planes.
Revell Germany does a UV activated glue. Strong stuff. Almost instant when you use the little UV light provided.

thanks
Im gonna drown in that styrene river.
Max, you're costing me money. I just ordered the Atlantis Boeing SST! Wish they'd bring out the old Monogram duo kit in the larger scale. 😊
MWhahahaha.....

Thank you Boss!
I plan to build my Boeing SST as the Pan Am version.
me too
That Boeing SST just needs to be painted up as Air Force One.
hmmmmm

Plastic Magic - apply like a capillary product. Small brush or ink pen (the kind you dip). who woulda thought - a heater in FL.
cold happens here a lot...in Feb.
I use that deluxe glue for my pla prints… 😊

I have been in the remains of the mockup

Use superglue on thar float. Model on!

That sst looks like the monogram one... Not the revell kit. Bummer...20.00 dollars for a tiny sst.
You are correct. I was think in terms of Revell having become the dominant name despite Monogram being the acquiring company. Good catch.
Oh that’s interesting - it didn’t have that photo graphics on the bottom of the box as you had just shown.
