#04/2024 Kit originally started for the 2023 "Leopard tank" STGB here on Britmodeller, but unfortunatelly at that period of time my modelling mojo went deep below the surface, so I've finished it just now. - Painted with Tamiya acrylics - Weathering done with artistic oils and MIG pigments - Headlights are made from Kristal Klear - Rotating light on the turret was simulated with Molotow Liquid Chrome marker overpainted with Tamiya Clear Orange Cheers, Srđan

ESCI 1/72 F-100D Super Sabre (Danish Air Force)

Exhaust and cockpit are finally merged with fuselage I've put some lead balls in the nose area as a weight, although assembling manual don't mention the need for it, but... just in case On following photos exhaust looks much more like in reality - it's tricky to capture metalizer painted parts correctly, especially when you use flash on camera. I have to smooth out the joins on fuselage, and then will continue with assembling... Cheers, S.- 13 replies

Academy 1/72 F-84G Thunderjet (JRV, 10571)

Green patches were "mismasked" on few places, so I did repair work with brush. Also, left tip tank had PRU are peeled during unmasking, so that was repaired with brush too. Finally, kit received one pass of Gauzy - it was more than enough to have perfect gloss finish. Next step is decaling... Cheers, S. -

I've painted cockpit details and applied wash (artistic oils), so I'll leave it for few days to dry and then continue with assembling. Cheers, S. -
Great job on camouflage mate, especially it was done freehand!

Simply beautiful - painting is first class, and gave a kit the sense of much bigger scale! Cheers, S. -

Camo is done! Masking of green patches took me more than 6 hours today, but I think it was worth it. There are some patches that need additional care with green, but nothing serious. Cheers, S. -

Today I wasn't lazy, so I've managed to paint underside in PRU Blue (AK Real), Green patches (Gunze H303) on upper surfaces, and bombs in Olive Drab (Gunze H304) I'll leave it for few days to dry well, and then off to masking of green patches with blutack before spraying Grey... Cheers, S. -

Chassis is painted in black with Mr. Surfacer 1500 Black, while floor area of a cabin color is still to be determined. I've painted seats in few shades of leather-like color. Cheers, S.

Instrument panel is given as a decal, so I've positioned it and sealed with a layer of Gauzy. Cockpit and tail wheel area are painted in Interior Green. Cheers, S. -

Wheel bay, windbrake and doors are painted in Yellow Zinc Chromate... Cheers, S. -
Typical UM little kit - not so hard to assemble, but it takes a bit more attention around tracks (I messed up a bit right front side). - Painted with Gunze acrylics - Weathering done with artistic oils and MIG pigments UM decals are notorious for being brittle, and having decal film that is very very matt, and no matter how much gloss is surface underneath them, they leave silvering very visible when sealed with final semigloss or matt varnish. I've decided to play with them in a bit different way - they were placed onto freshly applied Gauzy, treated with Gunze Mark Softener (green bottle), and then sealed with another coat of Gauzy. This went pretty well, and in the end no decal film is visible, as well as silvering is non-existent! So, I could recommend this "technique" with stubborn decals, but it takes working step-by-step - Gauzy has to be freshly applied! Cheers, Srđan
