Aardvark Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Sorry , it's white? White color wheel bay in Trumpeter instruction J-10A is mistake! I don't see photo wheel bay J-10 in white colour ! I see photo wheel bay J-10 or medium blue color, as this: or light grey as this: In theory white wheel bay maybe on 1st prototype/mockup J-10, but this in theory! You will tell that on a photo which I have placed a wheel bay not light gray, they is white!!! It's not true. Watch this photo! On this photo the dial watch - white, wheel bay is darkish then dial watch! Then on this photo wheel bay is light gray! B.w. IanHx, what option a camouflage you are going to do? B.R.

Serge The instructions didn't say what colour the wheel bays were, I just happened to have white on the paintbrush at the time Have given it a wash of Humbrol 56, and it now looks a lot better - more of a 'grubby metal ' finish. As for cammo, going with Humbrol 167 & Humbrol 145 for the cammo grey scheme. Edited February 17, 2018 by IanHx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely you just haven't paid attention to it. Unfortunately specified in the instruction white enamel not correct as I consider. It is quite possible that Humbrol 56 will help to correct a situation. 3 hours ago, IanHx said: As for cammo, going with Humbrol 167 & Humbrol 145 for the cammo grey scheme. It is the correct translation of enamels мr.Color in Humbrol enamel. But I am not sure that the version of interpretation J-10A "red 1006" camouflage in the instruction Trumpeter is correct. It should be noted, that J-10A "red 1006" chosen by you, as well as other J-10A "gray 1013" aren't combat planes of the front line. "Red 1006" it is the sixth prototype of J-10A. A camouflage by which it is painted expremental at the same time during completion of this plane a air refueling system by this plane unpainted panels a color zinc chromate have appeared. "Gray 1013" is pre-series plane. Such camouflage has received a limited by front planes. It is considered that the camouflage of this plane as on "Grey 1013" is carried by planes Chinese a squadron "Aggressor". https://thelexicans.wordpress.com/2013/12/27/the-plaaf-aggressor-program/ However planes Chinese a squadron "Aggressor" in it a camouflage as on "Grey 1013" don't carrier four-digit number on a nose. They have standard yellow numbers on a fin. B.R. Serge P.S. B.w. russian computer stimulation shows the following ratio: Dog fight MiG-35 - 1.64/J-10 - 1.11 Long/medium range fight MiG-35 - 1.44/J-10 - 1.0 It means that one MiG-35 is equal two J-10A. Also it is claimed that J-10A according to the fighting characteristics an equivalent Su-27 of a sample of 1982. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's what mine shows : If nothing else then at least Trumpeter have improved the quality of the instructions with later versions of the kit !!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If once, at the Russian modeling forum, I haven't seen, what my copy of the "Aerohobby" magazine (now "Aviation & Time") has on one of pages it is less than text than other just the same magazine.... I would tell that this some miracle!!! But as I saw such magazine and therefore that I have Lightning F.Mk.6 from Airfix with a mistake on a box (without the stabilizer) I perhaps won't state very strong surprise! But it is interesting! Perhaps, I should make a photo other pages of the instruction what we could look still for differences!!! B.R. Serge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaCee26 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) Ni hao all, Just found this interesting topic! For ultimate 1/72 J-10, J-10A and J-10S I would suggest Serge's recipé of using Trumpy's J-10B as a basis. On the other hand if J-10A or J-10S is built adding some support to seam between wing upper part and fuselage wuöld be helppful. In J-10B this issue is taken into care.

IanHx Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 Back at modelling desk again. Here's the progress so far : Missiles, aerials, canopy, pitot, and painting to finish off. Instructions call for a gloss black nose, but I'm thinking matt might be more appropriate given the rest isn't gloss. Oh well, it's an excuse to look at more aircrift pics on the internet in the name of 'research' 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanHx Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Canopy on, but it's not exactly what you'd call airtight.
