Aerobonus continues its run of diorama/aftermarket add on sets with a 5 gallon waste oil drain tank. The set consists of 5 resin parts and decals and is perfectly formed with no flash or air bubbles.

There is one choice to be made and that is with the high or low fill spout. I cut the main pail and dump pan free with a razor saw and the cur the handle and the low fill support free with nippers and cleaned all of it up very gently with sanding sticks. Some care is needed as the handle is very fragile. All that was required then was to super glue the support, the pan and handle on the main pail. I primed with Alclad gray and let it dry overnight.

The directions called for a red pail and support and I painted these Insignia Red. The pan was painted silver and the decal added. A wash of brown (to look like oil stains) and a few silver marks for scratches and we're done.

Each issue of Scale Aircraft Modeling has the same basic design and format. That's not a bad thing as it is jam packed with superb aircraft builds and tips. In this issue, there are five feature articles, an Aviation in Profile piece, and seven Compact Build Reviews.

The Feature articles for this issue start with DAI Williams build of Wingnut Wings 1/32 Fokker D.VII. Mr. Williams covers how to make single color areas less drab and add contrast. He also used Albion Alloys thread, Bob's Buckles turnbuckles and AVIATTIC lozenge decals to improve the kit.

Next up is James Ashton's build of the newer Revell 1/32 Spitfire Mk. II. He gives it the full meal deal with Barracuda cast everything and spends a lot of time getting the finish just right on this heavily weathered plane using multiple techniques..

The Hobbycraft P-35 is an under rated kit. It builds well and looks the part. Yellow Wings comes to help with this excellent decal sheet representing three different markings. In the package, you get a well printed Microscale decals sheet with the three options, a full color sheet detailing the location of the decals for each option which includes performance specifications and other information and lastly, an instruction sheet for placing the decals, painting, explanation of command bands as well as recommended paints. It is a total package.

The three markings represented are:

• Seversky P-35, 17th Pursuit Squadron, 1st Pursuit Group, Selfridge Field 1937
• Seversky P-35, 94th Pursuit Squadron, 1st Pursuit Group, Selfridge Field 1937
• Seversky P-35, 24th Pursuit Group, Philippines', November 1941

The Selfridge Field markings are natural metal with colorful markings while the Philippine markings are olive drab/neutral gray.
