  1. Man, that looks just right! A beautiful Jug and a stunning scale model!
  2. In both links, the F-5 is apparently kept company by T-33 aircraft. Very interesting info Erik. 👍
  3. That is so fine Erik! I especially like that it's in unusual marking. Very cool indeed!
  4. Very nice work Mikhail! Perhaps, one can see a bit of the Ta-152 heritage in the main landing gear? Thanks for sharing you delightful model with us! 😀
  5. Yes, I agree with all the above comments. That turned out great! The old Monogram kit can still turn out a beautiful scale model and one that would grace anyone's display cabinet!
  6. Wow! That is a great Tomcat Barzin! And what a smashing collection; thanks for showing all of them together.
  7. Another right beaut Greg! Very nice indeed my friend!
  8. No sir, you sure did not bore me. Thank you sincerely for taking time to explain your process in more detail! That really does help me understand how the painting is accomplished through the various steps. It does seem like an interesting technique and one I'm tempted to try on a future build. I will say that you've mastered this style of finishing, but obviously it's a whole different "lot of work" than airbrushing. Thanks again Russ for your time and for the help! 🍻
  9. Wow! For a poor kit, it resulted in a magnificent scale model! Man, that is a great looking Jaguar and one I would be proud to claim. Very well done DrumBum, go have that short and frosty one now!! 🍻 (well, I do recognize that it might be a wee bit early on the West Coast for a beer, but it will be 5 o'clock before long! 😄)
  10. Russ, my enthusiasm is inspired by the simple fact that many of us struggle with our airbrushes, even with frequent use. We futz with this setting or that, and juggle paint:thinner ratios like a mad chemist, and then we're presented with work like yours (and others too!), all done with a brush. I was a professional painter for many years and I can lay down enamel paint with a good bristle brush so that it looks sprayed on, or dipped in enamel. But, when I try to brush on a model (and yes, always enamel too), it sure doesn't look like that Avenger. Your term "dry/damp brushing" has me intrigued. Perhaps you could expound on that technique sometimes? The video suggestion was really more tongue in cheek I guess, than a real suggestion. Like yourself, I would never have the inclination to do one either, even with the surplus of "free time" that I fortunately have. But, that said, you do make it look easy when I just know it can't be. 😉 I note that the Monogram F-102 is upcoming for you; I am building one as well at the moment. I sure am looking forward to seeing your Deuce, will it be wearing SEA camo?
  11. Man, I would love to just watch over your shoulder Russ as you paint these models with brushes. I think that would be so interesting and a true learning experience for many of us members here. 😀 Your work on these planes is so masterful and realistic! So how about it Russ? Are you up for recording a painting session for a tutorial for us? I bet a lot of us would love to see a master at work! Honestly, brushing a model is pretty intimidating to me. Help us step up our game Russ!
  12. Another great looking model Russ! Fantastic scale modeling from you, as usual. 👍
  13. Much liking this one! 👍 Very nice scale modeling and a classy result!
  14. Very nice! That's one of the mounts attributed to the North Vietnamese ace Le Hai. I really like your paint work!
  15. Stunning build! Great scale modeling Fridrih! Thanks for showing us this beauty.
  16. Exceptionally nice! Fantastic scale model and great photo work as well. That sir, is a real winner! 🏆 Please, take a bow.
  17. That is a great looking Pony! Well done x two for the weathering work!
  18. Great result from that old kit Pat! Well done mate.
