Other than regular tweezers and inverted tweezers

These are these secrets:

Long time ago I learn from someone that build 1200/1250 ships that is better to use magnifying glasses even if you think you don't need them to improve precision.

The cuticle trimmer helps you shape what the scissors missed or are too small, using small approximations, like circles to hexagons or octagons.

Happy modeling!

Handy gadgets Pablo. I've ordered the magnifier/light. But I WON'T be taking up 1/400 aircraft modelling!!

That's ok, it depends on how much space you have. I would love to do 1/100 "Century Scale Rocks" or my former 1/144 (still considered by many crazy).
For someone that grow up with meters and centimeters that's the ideal scale compared to the (excuse me) to the dodeca or octa scales (the last one make sense for binary and like people).

Sharing some of my WIP's from Bruno's originals and recolors by LFuente and Carlos.

I tried having them at same 1:100 scale to see the difference between the two.

The Huey of the rescue group is awesome.

Thanks to the three of you.

That is the beauty of a common scale.
Long time ago in the p1@$+1c universe there were such things as box scales. Whatever it fitted in the standard box.
But in the paper universe you can chose your huge scale, your regular, your Century Scale Rocks, your tiny or your tiniest. You decide!
Very nice Helicopter with interiors and nice drafting of the Hawks and UH-1.
And yes kudos for the trio!

That's great Marvin, first time I've seen my recolors as complete builds! That rescue Huey isn't mine, but good job.

Working on 2 more figure recolors, then back to planes after that (maybe).

Ah ha! I knew I had forgotten something on the rescue Huey but I see you've corrected it!

I'll add the red stripe on the transmission cover and adjust a few things.

I am still working on your other recolors. I am planning for a complete sete of PAF planes at 1:100 and detailing it.

Thanks a lot.

Yes, but still I am confused with the aerial fins, some photos of #322 are white, others are blue. I got to find more references on the other Huey photos with the same number as they differ from each other.
I mixed Bruno's F-5 with your fuel tanks from old F-5.

I am now on Huey rescue #122.

Thanks Carlos!

I'll also add the vertical RESCUE titles on the yellow band.

I've noticed 890 is a rebuilt Huey II with the nose from the UH-1N/Bell 212. The philippine Hueys sure are varied.
