My new finished model - JAS-39C Gripen (Revell 1/72).
The kit wasn't the easiest to assemble. It required fitting parts of the fuselage and putty.
Painting - Revell enamels. Dark gray is not authentic unfortunately.Thanks.

How were the kit’s decals to work with?
The decals were just awful. I covered them with an additional layer of varnish.
Crosses used from other kit.-

The ICM kit is not exactly the Tamiya
Oh, that's true )) It was difficult to build. Semi-assembled, this kit was on a waiting list for approximately 10 years )). Finally I did it.
Thanks guys for your appreciation.

Nice little i-16. How were the decals? I am bit hesitant to build mine since decals that came with it are more pink than red.
Thanks.
The decals were terrible. It's better to use others.
"34" are taken from 'Begemot' decals.-

This ICM’s I-16 kit is one of the most popular among modellers. I decided that I should also have a model of this famous fighter. I did it for several years with long breaks and distractions for other projects, so it's hard to remember all the features. The idea was to imitate shabby winter camouflage. The plane of Lieutenant Gudyakov with the number "34" was taken as the basis. However, in the photo of the prototype, rockets under the wing are clearly visible, which is not done on my model, and the abrasions are much larger.
The assembly did not go well. There were the following improvements - windows in the niches of the landing gear and in the fuselage above the instrument panel (which is not visible at all), the Venturi tube, seat belts, landing gear cables, airspeed tube from injection needles.
Enjoy.

Outstanding, one of the things that jumped out at me was the winter wash and weathering on the spinner in the last two pictures. Really like how you’ve separated the two sections on the spinner and can I ask how you achieved the very fine lines? I can’t tell if they’re a left over from some sanding or from the way the white has been removed?
Thanks a lot.
I used this approach for weathering (for all parts and surfaces): basic summer camouflage (simplified), then a layer of acrylic Tamiya X-22 Clear, then enamel Revell white, and after drying - the abrasions were made with a cotton swab moistened with White-Spirit.
Here is also a few pics of process.

I would like to share with you a model of my favorite aircraft, done not so long ago.
This is Azur kit, originally from Special Hobby molds, with decals for the French version.
Nice kit. But in some places, putty was required.
Model Master paints were used: Navy Blue and Bright Blue - an approximate ratio of 70:30.

Looks amazing! I love the weathering, one question, is the yellow color of the nose and wingtips suppose to match the color of the yellow 7 number? I built this same kit and the yellow color was off the color of the decals, in yours looks much better.
Thanks for your praise. Actually I don't know if these "yellows" have to be matched to each other. I didn't think about it.
