Watching with interest, of course. Looks like an ancient kit...

Neil Autor
Hi Robert 🙂 yeah, I'm not too sure about the heritage on this one. It's all a bit crappy plastic for sure, but we'll see how it turns out, it's supposed to be an in-between build 👍

Chan Li
I'm in, I think I know exactly the word "crappy" mean, this was one of my childhood nightmare.

Neil Autor
Hi Chan Li, hope you are well, thanks for commenting. Yes. My apologies, maybe I should have said 'not the best plastic' to be more polite on a global forum 😉 ...Your builds look marvellous btw - especially that latest Chengdu - not a kit I see a lot pop-up on here 👍

Chan Li
Haha honestly I prefer "crappy", I would have used the same description. Actually I'm super curious how it look after a proper build and painting, never thought this antique kit can fly to Europe 😂, I can't even find it over here…
I wasn't assured if people like my build… especially Chengdu J-10 isn't pop over here

Chan Li
Anyways thanks for your encouragement Neil, I like your builds too.

Nathan Dempsey
Looks like we both like the punishment of an older kit 😂

Maciej Bellos
Guilty as charged too! Trying the odd older kit, just to see what I can do with it.

Looking good Neil!

Robert Podkoński
I admire your perseverance here, Neil 😉

Chan Li
Nice going!
Take me back to childhood 😀

This is called making a silk purse out of a sow's ear. 👍

Hi all 🙂 I've finally got around to taking 'reveal' pictures for many of my previous build albums. I shall be updating each and including a few build notes in the description too.

Here is my version of the AA Models Shenyang J-6 kit, completed in 2022 (it wasn't the best fitting). And to make it more difficult l decided that I'd paint the camouflage freehand with a hairy stick - just for fun! Hahaha!

The colour scheme is my interpretation of a few 'War Thunder' web images I found. I just had fun with this one and treated it as an exercise in paint use.

Much thanks to all who showed interest and liked, you're very kind, especially to have commented on my efforts with here 👍

Robert Podkoński

Arif Saeed
Beautiful result Neil 👏👏

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Wonderful work Neil 👍

Neil Autor
Wow! Thanks very much mates. This kit isn't the greatest (I know excuses!) I really just used it as an exercise in brush painting camouflage and practicing weathering. Totally aware it's completely unrealistic. So very humbled and pleased to have all of you comment 🙂
