Congrats...

It's Kopro's old molds, right....didn't Eduard release it as well, or is my memory totally out of....oh, look....medication time!!

 

[Lucky13]

Ma bad....Eduard did their Sukhoi Su-7!

 

[Wurger]

Actually, the Eduard also offers models of Su-17/22 both M3 and M4 variants ... of course these are reboxed KP kits.

the kit contains decal markings for "Red 13"

But you may try the Kitty Hawk models .. these seem to be much better than the old KP old one. The last one below comes with "Red 3713" on the decal set.

I got a dirt cheap deal on a 1/72 Hasegawa F/A-18E Super Hornet. Unfortunately I cannot do it as an
RCAF bird. I have another Hasegawa kit on the way for that.-John

 

[fubar57]

Any time Jan. Good buy John. The RCAF needs new Hornets

 

[Crimea_River]

No we don't. We bought some clapped out Aussie ones. What a joke.

 

[Lucky13]

For my 6913....

....and this one, haven't been able to get back into it with my Hasegawa A-8/R2 conversion, see if this one will help to get that 13 done!

Turn that Hasegawa into another bird....

Jan,

Please let us know how YOU find using the AV Metal paints.

Thanks

 

[Lucky13]

I certainly will....

Jim, if you have 45 minutes...

I watched this before I bought mine which I love. One has to keep in mind that they won't replace Alclad. Others say the paint is fragile but with care I've had no more paint lift than any other acrylic. Jan, when you do use it, shake the bejaysus out of the bottle and when you are done.....shake some more

I'm still using my Floquil silvers but my stock will eventually run out. Any one know how it compares to Floquil

 

[fubar57]

Just arrived to go with my other four. The set is called Jet Exhaust but I'm more interested in mixing the colors for different panels

[Capt. Vick]

Why won't it replace Alclad?

 

[fubar57]

Alclad has finer pigments and being lacquer kind of etch into the plastic. You can polish it with a cloth and various compound to really bring out the shine. This can be done with VMC to a degree but you have to be careful. Alclad is also more durable. These are the two that I've used VMC on. The Mustang fuselage is 77.707 Chrome and the entire Ki.44 was done with 77.716 Semi Matte Aluminum

​

I'm happy with them now that I know how to deal with their finickiness. The other pluses are they are acrylic and and the large 1oz. bottle is a bargain compared to Tamiya

Is there a reason 17 posts were skipped?
On my tablet, the next post after #17,820 is #17,838, with a red bar in between saying 'There are more posts to view - view them?'. Weird...
