Re: Finishing: Home-made decals
I picked up some Testors decal paper for inkjet a little while back, and it recommends their brand of fixative for finishing the job. I don't think that product is still available, and was wondering if anybody knew of an acceptable substitute?

I didn't know him well, and our paths didn't cross much, but it is easy to see the quality of his character by the quality of his friends.
My condolences to his family and friends.

Re: LtPz Panther
It's 1/76 as I recall - I'd have to double check the box. It was a great series - I want to say the molds were originally Nittos, but my memory is getting fuzzy. I'm not sure why Artic elected to jump in down here, but I'm glad he did.

Well, I'm on the same shore, if not quite the same boat, as a lot of folks - progress has been made, but I'm balked at what to do with the underside. Didn't finish by the deadline, but I should have it painted in another couple of weeks.
