    being maltese myself this post was of great interest. excellent job on the camo and weathering! and the weathered tyres! i saw this plane at the aviation museum in rome.

    yes you are 100% right! the roundels are massive! but what could I do.. couldn't stop build because of roundels
  4. AdriaN (MLT)
    Decals are the worst ever. Even decals from the 1970s give better results. They are very grainy and the transparent film turns ghosty-white. Also out of scale and they lack a white backing so when applied the colour darkens. Instructions are very misleading and instruct you to stick on incorrect parts on jut dont give you the part reference number!

    is it raised panel lines? and does it fit well?
  6. AdriaN (MLT)
    ive never built the italeri/esci ones. what are they like? i imagine OLD tooling so i think... none! But i do have x2 1:72 mirage F1 EDs from Special hobby. fingers crossed. yes the jaguar is a well known disaster kit!

    Finished this kit in Decmber 2021. Ultra happy with the result! I will never build a Kitty Hawk ever again. Crappy kit from beginning to start. The fittings, the instructions, incorrect parts, the decals. I will also never used Agama acrylic again. Here are the final photos: First.. the build: ............ 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌............ The Shoot:

    thanks. its all very small and will get covered with glass. infact i might leave one panel of glass "open"
  9. AdriaN (MLT)
    So far so good! Fits together well, but its full of gaps and will need a lot of filler! PMask masking set was bought from EBAY 2011 Tooling Interiors sprayed Gunship Grey, dry drushed with light grey, washed with water colours. Decal panel Wood effect was hand painted 🥰

    Some old progress before finishing model in December and becoming covid+...... Scratchbuilt canopy hydraulics: Hydraulics painted and seats fit into place: Ladder: Painted nav lights:

    Seats painted. Happy with the result. The seatbelts were painting a bit... randomly, as belts in real life.. are way more complex then this brass set! Jet pipe painted silver and stainless steel. Tail rubber anti corrosion tip added. Wheel hubs masked using masking set. First time ever painting this way. Usually its free hand. Love the wheels! With the photo flash for some reason... decals look yellow!
  14. AdriaN (MLT)
    Weathering done and I am very pleased with the result. Panel lines done with water colours. Staining/streaking done with artists oil paints. Finished with my favourite.... Revell Enamel Matt varnish. Gives a nice sheen & non yellowing. Aluminum was also sprayed matt since in real life the bottom side wasnt shiny nor clean!

    Highly recommend. you mix them with water. Drop of dish liquid is a must in order to break surface tension and to make it spread. Once dry you just rub off with tissue, leaving behind the mix in the panel lines. If you're not happy just introduce some water and it comes off. Similar to the Flory clay wash.

    Weeks after completing decalling, i realised i stuck on 33-FD instead of 33-FS. Luckily all what needed changing was the D->S. Painted over the D with base color, deliberately making it look like a 'touch up'. In the end the mistake is quite undetectable. The 50 from 509 got torn off by masking tape. Lucky i managed to use the 5 and 0 from the 520 decal. Panels washed using my favourites... water colours! Once dry they rub off with ease. No thinners needed. First time ever using photetch seat belts. The rubbish instructions instruct you to stick them... the wrong way round! thankfully I rotated them when the C/A glue began to harden.
