Another fantastic job! I have this kit too, any trouble with the build? Yours turned out great 👍

No real trouble to report. The undercarriage doors need a little bit more taken out of the 'notches' on the corners to get them to fit in the bays and you'll need 4 thumbs to fit the P/E rigging but it's a real gem of a kit to build.

Ok thanks for the info Duncan. I'll get me a couple of more thumbs when I start this kit 🙂

I like the mix of having a silvery and a colored hull.

Hi Duncan -

What paint are you using for your metallics?

I used AK Interactive Xtreme Metals for the silver. They are, by far, the best metallic paints I have ever used.

Many thanks I was thinking of trying the Alclads but will have a go at the AK's instead.

Sorry Duncan I have another question. I am looking at purchasing some Xtreme Metals and I am not sure what AK thinners, if any, should be used with it.

They are pre-thinned so are ready to use. For cleaning I use cellulose (Lacquer) thinners or Mr Tool Cleaner
