Thanks Andy and Dale. I think they do spray nicer than Tamiya and it seems they are semi-gloss. I also like them as there is no mixing involved. I also like that they can be mixed 1:1 with distilled water. Having said that, are the colours accurate? I've found the majority say yes but I guess its up to the individual and if he has access to accurate colour chips. I just went down, got my model and held it up against my screen. The colours on the model pretty much reflect the image. I then imposed colour chips on the image. The paint may be just scale effect as it is lighter than the chips. Blah, blah, blah, colour rendering but I like it

Meeplemart has them a $2.95 a bottle, the same they charge for Tamiya but once again the shipping charges. I guess if one loads up it might defer the shipping costs

I do like the look of that but TBH, I would have done the wing root differently.

 

[fubar57]

Merci. Landing gear attached and shiny. Time to start decklin'

 

[Crimea_River]

Very sharp. The bands turned out nice.

Thanks Andy and Karl. A few more decals and done. Flat coat and schticky-outy bits to follow

Looks Good from here Geo

Had a look around and it looks to me like Mr.Hobby/Gunze are not making paint at the moment. Sunward seem to have a decent supply of Mr.Hobby but how long that will last is questionable. I went to their website and sent them an email asking if they are still in business, see what happens I guess.

Good to see you kicking around Tim. Must be pretty scary over there....stay well my friend

 

[fubar57]

Forgot the pic. Two left on the bottom and done

​

The decals snuggled down into the panel lines on their own but they did like to stick where they were placed. A lot of water was added to get them to move again. The two wing walk lines were a pain in the keester because of this; about 10 minutes each to get into position. They were also labelled wrong on the instruction sheet

 

[Crimea_River]

Excellent Geo. I never saw those markings until your build.

 

[fubar57]

Thanks Andy. Markings are new to me as well and if I didn't know the back story I would have thought they were for one of those Japanese kits that came with markings for cartoon shows
