Hey Wally!

Great to see you here! Describing your models as "mediocre" is like calling the Taj Mahal a shanti town! Always great to see your builds. Can you post the Connellan Airways Heron you built. A good mate of mine is related to the guy who founded this airline.

Looking forward to seeing many more of your important GA & regional airline builds.

Cheers

Adam

Oh yeah, forgot to ask, what do you use for painting gloss white and gloss red? I've got a 1/32 RB-51 racer to paint and am deciding on best technique to nail a decent gloss finish. I'm trying to steer away from lacquers if I can as I prefer acrylic paints. I've also seen some spectacular results just simply using Tamiya rattle cans as well. What do you advise?

Cheers

Adam

As Adam said mate, I'd hardy call your efforts mediocre at all. I can only dream of being able to do some of the things you do. Having not been on AMI much, I've missed a couple of these builds. They're bloody awesome. Your Learjet came up brilliantly. I'll have to go back for a look at your threads. Great builds as always mate

All very nice builds Wally , I remember the Wards Learjet at Essendon when I was a kid getting around on Tarmac with my dad .

Hiya , I answered this before but musta not hit submit doh!

The Lear is Tamiya rattle can red and white.
Other models there used all sorts... Tamiya acrylic and enamel red and yellow, Tamiya acrylic and modelmaster enamel whites, white is a bugger pure and simple
