  1. What is this paint app you are using? I looked for "1:48 paint adjuster" in the App Store with nothing showing? Great job on the kit!
  2. I did not have any problems getting my pilot in. BUT... I don't think I put the control stick in until after the pilot was in. I did not have to clip anything off on the pilot either. The "brown" color is field drab, FS30118, for your next kit :-) I used Model Master enamel for that color. I tried the Acrylic of the same FS from Italeri. There was a slight difference with the Italeri slightly more rust/brown. Regarding this kits age, this is a brand new (and spectacular) mold. Mark
  3. Matt, Here is my A-4P as of this evening. As noted, I am following markings instructions from the Aztec sheet for C-207 that attacked the HMS Coventry. I got it as far as the gloss coat. I will apply the decals, run the flat coat, then paint in the semi-gloss and flat black on the nose and around the guns, then paint the silver / chrome around the tail pipe. Pictures are bad, just quick snapshots with the phone, I apologize.
  4. Matt, Looks great! Better than mine. I am struggling with the brown too. I shot FS30118 according to the fabulous Aztec decals instructions. It came out more green than brown. I am either going to deal with it or do a little bit of rust. I know there are tons of variations for Falklands birds, due to the US embargo (even on paint) prior to the war, and the Argentines using all sorts of other options. So I am guessing a little creative leeway is in order. I look forward to seeing more of yours. Mark
  5. Real nice work. I will be watching this one.
  6. Yes, you are correct about the two inners remaining.
  7. Nice job on the build. One thing for you, only FB-111A/C aircraft used three pylons on the wings. The other variants used two on each wing. Mark
  8. I just ordered it. That is a steal of a price.
  9. Good question. I will watch as mine is on the docket as well. Model Master has a fluorescent red, but it seems too orange to me. Maybe we could use that or trainer red and and some real red to it so it darkens it a bit.
  10. No, but I did months ago. It wouldn't download a mag. I contacted them and they quickly cleared it up.
  11. Very nice. I am working on mine right now. Like many recent Airfix kits, outstanding kit, cheap and full of fun.
  12. Yes, but they are all A's. We need some carrier based C's.
