Amazing build using this Kitty Hawk kit! A quick question, was there any big fit issues and if so where? Thanks Ray
15 March, 13:20

A bloody awful project. Took me almost six months to complete with plenty of problems. Now I know why Kitty Hawk kits are so widely disliked.
I wanted to build most hatches closed and kit really doesn't like that. Fitting problems with the engine cowlings were enormous and although I managed to get a decent result, the gaps between panels stand out if looked closely. Instructions were downright shit, without reference photos it was impossible to know how certain parts were supposed to fit and in my eagerness, I glued engine extraction vents on top of the fuselage wrong way (in most jets those are intakes, but on Jaguar these are extraction vents and awnings should face aft). Kit included wrong clear parts sprue, for French version and although most clear parts are identical, the French version does not have laser designator window on front. I had to scratch build the nose and window. Decals were extremely fragile and broke on several occasions. That is why there is no ID number on front wheel door, although there should be. Had it not included curved numbers (732), I could have tried to paint it but decided against it.
On the plus side, details are good and generally fit was nice (except on lower fuselage and some PE parts). Parts were numerous and as I like building, it was fun until I hit the too frequent problems that I listed above. Not a kit I would build again but I was steadfast to finish this despite plenty of angry words uttered during the project.
Final insult was malfunction on my camera. It doesn't suddenly get shutter speed right and so photos are too dark. I adjusted exposure on GIMP but phots don't really match the colors of the model.

Thanks Jonkka for taking the time on such a detailed answer. I have several Kitty Hawk kits and love the subjects but hear the same story about them being challenging. I missed the backward extractors and most people would at a contest. Even greater respect that you were able to get to the finish line on this kit and turn out such a quality build.
Cheers Ray

Beautifully built and I love the weathering. But why is the pilots name upside down?

Thank you Mark. It's smoke blue H96 with drop of XF-23/XF-8/XF-2 (depending on the layer, 4 layers, 10:1 ratio)
I like the final colour too, despite I struggled with colour consistency.

While not generally a Ford fan, I did really like this model. It still looks good 8 years after I built it, too. Thank you Tim Hofstetter, Rui S, Bob Hall, Dave, Neuling and Istvan Szucs.

That's nice, Mark. It looks really good. When you say it is all brush-painted,, do you mean airbrush or paintbrush?
14 March, 22:44

Hi Jennifer F/O McKnight's Hurricane was brush painted. It was my fifth build on returning to the hobby. Built on the back kitchen table.

Several of the photos I have looked at have similar colors to the Hataka paints. Interesting this plane seems to have been repainted with more vibrant colors at some point. Colors aren't standardized in Russia like other air forces, hence the confusion.
15 March, 12:58

I will try using the Hataka colors for the SU-27UB that I have in my stash when I build it.

Dear friends, you are too kind .... Blue-green camo it shall be, just kind of reasonably sun-bleached, nothing too fancy. I am still experimenting with the MRP range, so I will need to be a bit careful not to mess up.
14 March, 17:23

Following late! Shame to see the C-conversion set is wrong-sized. Was it one-time bad luck or could it apply to all sets? One reason could be mold and resin shrinking that is normally very small but with that large and long part the shrinking became significant factor.

Had hoped to build this great looking car OOB but I've some how mislaid the all be it limited decal sheet. I was going to have a go at doing my own decals or stencils but in look for info I found a sheet from DECALDOC.COM which includes all the extra advertising.

Во время сборки модели Revell Harbour Tug Boat я накосячил с декалями: они легли неплотно, прозрачные элементы помутнели и выделялись на фоне краски модели.
Поэтому, когда пришла очередь клеить наклейки на Heller Thonier Armour, я решил попробовать специальные жидкости для клейки декалей. Были куплены Thinner Mr.Mark Setter и Thinner Mr.Mark Softer. Делюсь мыслями по их использованию.

Thanks Villiers! My daughter asked me today if I had only built two ships and one small plane after working such a long time. She looked incredulous when I told her that was actually the case🙂
