  1. Meng Merkava IV LIC and finally: Meng Magach Gal
  2. Doobie again MENG Achzarit MENG Gal Batash Tiger Model Nagmachon
  3. Hello everyone, to avoid misunderstandings, no I haven't been on vacation since October. I owe photos of the MENG Doobie. Tada! More to come.
  4. Here is one more vote for Harder and Steenberg. I'm using the Ultra and Evolution for years and on a regular basis, the Infinity is yet unused. I like the interchangeability of needles and nozzles and the easy way to clean. I use Vallejo Model Air, diluted. Regards André
  5. Is it possible that this kit is a reboxing as I have a carrier deck from ammo by mig looking almost identical? Anyway. I used Vallejo Environment 73.821 rust texture to recreate the texture of the deck. Just don't forget to mask the tie-downs.
  6. As a former collector of the James Bond Car Collection there is one thing I would like know: is it for sure you receive all the issues, even if there are only 50 people ordering it from the start and 25 bailing out on the way? Or do they leave you with just one wing and the Main landing gear then? I remember Ju-87, Routemaster buses and even U96 'Das Boot' offerings here in Germany .
  7. Very nice build. May I ask where you were located flying Ch-53 and when? Best regards and best wishes for 2024! André (SVS HFlgRgt 35 Mendig 1997-2001)
  8. https://i.imgur.com/Ove2uJv.jpg https://i.imgur.com/YXzUGc9.jpg Help needed. Using phone and mobile App. How do I make the picture appear? Thx in advance Andre
  9. I am on vacation at the moment (actually heading towards Saumur and its tank Museum now). Will show some pictures when back home in Germany.
  10. I second to the Tiger Models Nagmachon, too. I really like the Meng IDF Doobie Caterpillar. I enjoyed that kit.
  11. Sounds a good tip. I used to thin down the cleaner with distilled water 20 to 80. Did not see a difference to pure cleaner.
  12. I use Vallejo ModelAir colors and really like them. But: the Primer is a real PITA. I can peel off huge parts of the primed surface almost any time I used a primer. Clogged Airbrush on top. So what? I use any of the normal colors to prime. Let it cure for a few days or use a cold hairdryer to help it cure almost immediately.
  13. Hello, missing any further development here. What made you stall? Regards André
  14. It is one of my favorite kits by Meng. A fun build, I don't remember any flaws. I'm grabbing a chair.
  15. Please check your photoetched parts. Due to the pressed packing at least some of mine are warped. Does anyone know how to contakt TAKOM for spares? I have the 'E of the world' package twice. Both have the same problem.
  16. Me too. Cheap stuff from Amazon is more than sufficient.
  17. I did the Takom one. No problems with tracks or anything else. Didn't have the mojo to do the paintjob jet.
  18. Using Vallejo Model Air paints myself it is a result of paint thinned too much. If the primer had its time to dry, you can use vallejo paint cleaner. Residues can be removed by sanding paper.
  19. If you want to do the Top Gun Maverick version you will find a US NANY spelling accident on your decals. The build itself is fun.
  20. Concerning GWH Mig-29 Russian swifts: I am working on this one at the moment. The basic kit is nice, but has the known flaws. The kit lacks decals, the masking tape sucks, some pieces are very hard to place on uneven surfaces. I do now know why there are almost no build reviews of this kit.
