  1. Bonus pic (Ignore the cheapo background was too lazy to get out the proper photo setup lol)
  2. Yep, it's still a lil rough but much better than the cockpit in my first model which was worse (and it was in 48 scale haha) and I'm happy with it. Also I will definitely enjoy building the Hornet
  3. Thank you all for the kind comments, much appreciated Yep, the MIG varnish I used was p good in terms of glossiness and left almost no brush strokes but it did cause some rough areas and bumps which you mentioned. Spraying varnish will definitely help with keeping it smooth. Got it,I myself wanted to use super glue but for personal reasons coundnt get any in time so I just PVAed them in place with little bit of Blu tack to keep them in place. The gear ended up slightly slanted insteat of being straight like in the instructions but I saw some reference photos online and the Hawk's landing gears were slightly slanted too under it's weight, so I'm happy with it. Also btw i left the landing gear off until after I was done with all painting and decals stuff on main fuselage, so coundnt really use liquid cement as the hole for the gear was filled with impossible to remove paint.
  4. Hello there, Henrik here again. A week ago, I finished my second (painted) scale model, a Revell Hawk T.1 used by the RAF. Got it from my first visit to a model kit store one or two months ago with a epic 40% discount, so it was definitely worth it. More detailed explanation below (text wall warning lol) Fully out of box, second painted scale model, took exactly one month to build. (16/10 to 16/11) Base made from styrofoam and card paper painted with craft acrylic. Model itself primed with Gunze Mr Primer Surfacer 1000 lacquer spray can, main color brush painted with Vallejo Model Colour Acrylic Black paint and glossed with MIG Lucky Varnish acrylic gloss. Finally I gave it a quick panel line wash with Medium Grey Panel Line wash from MIG followed with final gloss varnish coats. All other parts were painted with Vallejo with craft paint in really minor areas for detail. *Entirely brush painted except the primer of course* Enjoy the pics~ ^base made with help from a Model Minutes tutorial ^one mistake I made which you can see here is I accidentally filled up some panel lines and stuff on the right wing while spray priming. Learnt not to get too happy with the spray can next time 😁 ^landing gear gave me so much pain as expected and refused to stay straight or not collapse when I set the whole model on the gear itself 😬 ^Tried my best at the cockpit, the seats already have p nice detail out of box but I added seatbelts made out of masking tape below the headrest which were missing. You can also clearly see a decal I screwed up here ^another decal I screwed up was the major tail decals which you can see missing when compared to the box art. Learnt to more carefully handle these decals (especially the thin Cartograf ones) and not break them easily. Build was good in general, parts fit quite well and good detail in many places such as the cockpit and other small parts. Decent amount of armament is provided but i chose to left then off as I forgot to drill holes for the pylons and when I realized that it was too late lol. I made lots of mistakes and messed up some stuff like the aforementioned tail decals which were ruined too badly, but still it was a fun build and a good challenge and I look forward to building more models in my newbie modeling journey What's next? For my third scale model, I bought an Academy 1/72 F/A-18+. Should be a good build after hearing good things about it. Also, I just recently bought my first airbrush kit and the Academy kit will be my first airbrushed scale model. Looking forward to starting on it once the airbrush arrives and I get paint and supplies. 😊 What do you guys think? Comments and critique greatly appreciated. Feel free to share them here. Thank you for reading!
  5. Sadly, I checked Amazon and it says unavailable. And getting it from other sources is quite expensive (not even including delivery fee). Oh well. Thank you! Currently? The X-Wing of course After this, the Hawk. 😆 👍
  6. Thank you sir :) Oooh, that sounds like a good replacement for Pledge since I can't find it here. Thanks for the suggestion!
  7. Sounds pretty good. If only I didn't coat the scratched canopy with clear gloss 😩 Thanks, that scheme looks sick!
  8. Haha, I got a bit too happy with oil paints. I started my X-Wing a month or two ago, and I'm halfway through it. I'll post pics in another topic soon, and I have tried lots of new techniques on it so far:)
  9. Free handed. I just covered the entire wheel in black, used a fine brush to paint the middle white and dry brushed a bit. Yeah, I totally did. It had some weird fitting parts like the intakes and the landing gear (cement didn't help, poured a whole river of PVA and superglue with lots of stuffed Blu tack) but I enjoyed making it. Btw, are those aftermarket decals? Seems a bit costly, especially for a young dude like me, but I'll look into it, aye. Thanks! Thank you all for your kind comments, I appreciate them a lot.
