Hello All:
Today on a whim I went into the local Wal-Mart last night.In their model section they had two items that caught my eye.Item # 1 model paint,brand name Valspar,out of Picqune Mississippi. I think it is enamel but not sure.Has any one ever used this paint.They even have a “airbrush” set up you can buy.I do not want to say it is “cheap” as in quality,but it looks basic.The Valspar line has military colors.The bottels are about 4 times the size of a standard Testors Enamels.Has anyone used these paints? How about a passdown?
Item #2 Wal-Mart has a bunch of those 1/18 scale “model” aircraft.Get this after Christmas markdown $24.95.I eyeballed the F4U-1A Corsair,VF-17 markings.I am wondering if one could enhance these kits with some sheet styrene and a better paint job.I am very tempted to buy the Corsair.It would be the “Monster” wall hanger…or ceiling hanger to be honest.The engine begs for detailing.They also had TBF Avengers,MiG-15 Bis,and two others I did not look at.The TBF is in Atlantic two tone grey and white.The MiG-15 Bis is in two different paint schemes.Overall silver with red nose,or three tone striped camo.$24.95 for a 1/18 Corsair…How can I hide that from the Mrs.?
