So used to axis armor and it's complexities! I actually thought there's bound to be something i've missed but reckoned on it being a tiny hook or something lol!

Nice catch on the missing mantlet parts...Dragon's instructions always try to trip you up somehow! It's like an Easter Egg hunt but without the bunnies.  Looking forward to seeing it under paint! |

Mighty fine job, Stu, apart from the missing inserts (I dunno what the heck they are and I wouldn't have noticed even if I'd have stumbled upon them)   Can't wait to see it painted. |

Black panther? Great to see this one primes, will you do some prelighting on the black base? I think i'm just going to do a couple of coats of RAL 7028 dunkelgelb which is a late war shade as the base Luigi. I did think about modulation but to be honest, with the camo scheme i'm doing i don't think you'd see the modulation effect. Going for the ambush scheme like this  Need to be at my very best to do this lol! My inline water trap broke yesterday, the threaded plastic end which connects to the hose has just worn away, which i knew would happen sooner or later. So i ordered an all stainless steel one, trouble is, i couldn't get one here in the UK for some reason and the one i ordered is coming from Hong Kong so i'll need to wait over a week for it. No way am i doing camo without my inline trap lol! |

Stu - I apppreciate you've already ordered from the Far East but these all metal ones are cool and are made from anodised aluminium and available in the UK Inline Moisture TrapThanks for that mate. The one i've ordered is slightly different in that the hose connects to the bottom and my airbrush screws directly into the top. It wasn't very expensive, less than a tenner but i'll see how i go with it. Thanks again buddy |

That's maybe the reason the threads are worn out Stu, presumably you unscrew it every time yer clean yer AB? This one can go directly on yer outlet before the hose and theoretically never needs undoing once installed. Yeah the Iwata one i used had a plastic thread where the hose attached, your exactly right mate.  This is the one i've ordered, no plastic threads.  |

Camo choice is outstanding Stu. Your new watertrap looks sweet also. Hope you don't have to wait too long for it.

No worries! Can not and will not EVER hear your roaring if things ferk up. One of benefits being deaf... you should try that one day. LOL
Have same inline trap for my Iwata too... fortunately I only remove the top part keeping trap attached to the hose. Didn't really realize that it can wear out the plastic thread.
