Yep !
I'd normally detail the kit parts, but after using some for 1/48th scale Mosquitos, with incredible fine detail, I really had to try some in 1/32nd scale. and the effect is staggering !

Good stuff Terry. Bought two sets of these, just because.
Four aircraft per sheet but more if use them sparingly. These are for Allied aircraft, there is also a Luftwaffe set which I may or may not get down the road. One drawback here is there is no placement guide so references will be needed
I've been slowly collecting goodies for the Typhoon as well as some masks for the 110 and Tenzan. Got the Aveology Roundels and in the envelope the Aveology markings for the plane I want to do up from Andy(Crimea River), Thanks Andy, much appreciated. Also picked up the lovely Master barrels, the wheels from Eduard as well as the new LOOK instrument panel, which also comes with a set of belts.
The CMK Typhoon wheel bays came highly recommended, so I picked a set up from EBay a while ago, silly me never bothered to open it up and check the parts till now.....
Not sure how I'm going to deal with this just yet, but I think I can fix it. On the plus side I have 4 tail wheels including the kit parts, but I think I'll be using the Eduard ones......

got a set of these Vallejo curved files today at our IPMS meeting from a vendor $24 AU.
Seem to have good definition in the teeth.
I've had a cheap set from the local thrift shop and they have never been any good, teeth are crap.
Vallejo also has a straight det, all the profiles, square, round flat etc. May get that one as well.
Doing so much scratch building and mods, good files are a must.

Just FYI
my stash of files in my drawer.
1. My go to Tamiya basic set. Good teeth and a nice kinda smooth finish.
2. Cheap set of many mini, various shapes come in handy.
3. large set, there are more, rough and cut deep.
4. Itty bitty diamond rounds at bottom, at top a bit larger round, square, flat, half round and three sided. The rounds are 1mm smallest!!!!
5. Biggass from random places, flee markets, my garage. Second from right is very flat as and I used it to flatten wing and fuselage halves, often called "lapping" for mating surfaces. Less gap filling.
6. And, of course you do need a file card for cleaning the teeth!!!!!!
