Hi Mr D, Yes it is a kit with sharp details and great fit. With some minor detail inaccuracy, the A variant needs a little bit more modifications than the C variant.

I really like the REEDOAK pilots! They are as you say very well detailed and make for some pleasing painting!

Hi Desert, They really make those original plastic figures dwarfed! I think the Mic cable of this one is around 0.05mm.

The Green paint has gone down really nicely ๐ is it Velejo??
Coming on nicely ๐

Hi Mr.D I usually paint the vehicles with Mr. Hobby's C series. Figures, in another hand, are usually painted with Vallejo or AK.

Thank you Marlin! It is the first time I tried pledge, it really shined the windshields!

Hi Mr D, thank you! I tried my best to present the power of this attacker, I wish you enjoyed reading it!

Hi Weizenbrot ๐
Did you use pledge future shine on the glass ?
I've struggled to find it here in the UK almost like it discontinued??
29 December 2024, 15:39

the "correct one" (or one of them at least) was Future . I got mine from amazon.co.uk/-/en/dp/B000ARPH4C but not longer available. at that time it was when sent from US straight to France, Germany or UK. today, I only several products but I believe none of them is exactly the same product.

Thanks Spanjaard ๐
I done a bit of reading up on it and watched a YouTube video, Humbrol Acrilic clear works on canopy's too by dipping in a 50/50 mix. It's a good clear coat too it's dries nice n hard, I've used it as a clear couple of times now with water thinner and quite impressed.... But not tried the canopy dipping thing ??
Thanks for help ๐

when I was searching for pledge, that quickshine appeared, seems to be a possible replacement, but I have not tried it so I can not say.... and since I still have enough pledge for a looooong while, i will probably not try in the future....

Hi Spanjaard thank you for the information. And Mr D, I decided to try this technique I read from a magazine many years ago and I met the same situation you mentionedโthey changed their product chains a lot. I searched their UK website and found a high shine one. That's probably the same stuff I found in China. You can have a try and please remember not to buy the pressure can ones.

You've worked lots of great detail into this build. Excellent modelling skills.
1 30 December 2024, 15:01

Agreeing with others, awesome paintjob and finish! You seem you did the model kit good justice. 👍

What a brilliant and inspiring build, I am blown away. Can't thank you enough for posting pictures AND notes, including reference photos! Not much more work and you'd have a very worthy digital how-to book that I'd gladly pay for. Thank you!

Late to the party, but boy am I glad that I showed up - great build. Particularly loved the paint job on the pilot figure.

Hi Doug, It's my pleasure that people can benefit from my work! I hope I had enough room to share more details and photos and made the description clearer. Let me know if you have any questions about this topic/kit!
Hi John and Mr D, Thank you for your like! This is one of my favorite planes, it's happy to see others also love her.

All the details looking fantastic, like the pilot painting job and cockpit.
