Quick update. Progress has been pretty slow grabbing an hour here and there. And I had been putting off masking the blue stripe. Exhaust cans and heat shield next. Thanks for looking Jason

It's a real shame Patrick because the rest of the kit fits like a dream. I did look at some seamless resin ones but couldn't really justify the cost atm.

Hi All, Been plodding along with it and now it's ready for primer. Decided on a load out as well. The only criticism so far is the intakes, they're a bit fiddly to line up and there's a dirty great seam visible inside them. Hopefully it'll get primed today

I use Tamiya flat clear XF-86 with tamiya x20a thinner for a matt finish and Tamiya clear X-22 with Mr Levelling Thinner for gloss. Both 50/50 ratio, sprayed through my H&S evolution with a 0.4 needle at about 20 psi. These are my go-to's, I have tried others but I have ended up with...

Made some progress on the cockpit. What a nice kit this is.

Love this. Can't wait to see it on a base.

Hi Gang, This is the new tool Airfix Kit. I started it waaaay back when it was first released, then it was put in a box with all my other modelling stuff whilst we moved house. I dug it out over the christmas break and decided it deserved to be finished. The kit itself is lovely, the turret is...

Gert lush that is.

I'd like to enter this into the GB. Not sure which scheme I'll do yet although I'm leaning towards the box art. Should be fun, plenty of resin and PE to mess about with... Just got to clear one off the bench and I shall make a start. Jason

Thanks for the comments chaps I used the chipping fluid from Ammo this time but I've used hairspray before and it works pretty much the same Colin.

Thanks guys. Not sure how I managed to mess up my photobucket but all my pictures moved. Here they are again...

Hi All, 2016 has been a terrible year for modelling. This is just my second completed model of the year. Here is Eduards fantastic MiG-21. It is the Weekend edition to which I added the Zoom PE set. Panted with Tamiya and Mr Hobby Acrylics and weathered with washes and oils. Here's hoping for...

That is high praise indeed Graham. Thank you! Now how do I get my head out the door... Thanks for the great comments and questions chaps.

Thanks for the comments Steve, I'll try and answer some of your questions. Matt (the author) said he hadn't yet used this technique on a desert camo. I thought I'd try it anyway. I'll hopefully explain how I interpreted the process with some in progress shots: First marble coat of each colour...

Thanks Guys, glad you like it. Jason

Cheers Phil, For starts, the kit is a cracker. Make sure it is the new tool you get (AO5125). Couple of very minor issues I came across both times I've built this kit. First are these two strengthening strakes on each wing. These were a modification so not always present. So if it's accuracy...

Morning All...First build of 2016 complete. Airfix newish Vb kit. Aftermarket decals from a company called AML. Primed with Alclad black and airbrushed with Tamiya acrylic. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and try a different approach to the usual pre-shading. The technique I've used...

Getting there... Got some work on the prop, exhausts, wheels and undercarriage left to do. Thanks for stopping by. Jason

Thanks for the great comments.

:eek:That's very impressive Barrie! How long does something like that take?
