    Great build Dave.

    Beautifully built and painted. The weapons bay is superbly finished.

    First Argentinian F-16 seen https://www.scramble.nl/military-news/argentine-air-force-fighting-falcon-sighted?fbclid=IwAR0udRdTr133FUkRSopOfDMO6uiVYMeYANLJtRIfj-e8X9IDKPIsxf0DhbU

    1/48 Airbus Helicopter Tiger HAD 1/48 Beechcraft King Air 350

    That is a great build.

    I cheered until I saw the open gunbay and airbrakes. Given that it's a natural metal finish I'd prefer as few open parts as possible but that aside it's great to have an F-86A at last.

    Painting Cockpits

    Stephen replied to Stratto's topic in Paint

    Vallejo Model Colour is superb for brush painting but it will simply not adhere to bare plastic properly. If you put primer down you'll have no problems as Model Colour has to go down on a primed surface. I don't know what paints you're airbrushing but I like acrylics and lacquers, for example if I was painting the cockpit of a modern jet I'd prime the parts with Halfords Primer then spray the appropriate Tamiya grey base colour then hand brush the detail with Vallejo Model Colour thinned with good old Scottish tap water. Alternatively I would skip the primer and spray the Tamiya grey directly on to the plastic then detail paint. You've made a good choice with Model Colour but due to it's qualities it has to go down on to a primed or previously painted surface rather than bare plastic.

    There's a build review in the latest Airfix magazine.

    That is a great build.

    Progress made as paint applied to both kits, Gunze H52 Olive Drab on top and Tamiya XF-53 (From a jar so old it has a Beatties pricetag on it!) The White stripes are Tamiya XF-2.

    I think the C-17 should be dropped as I feel that it could end up as one of those wishlist kits (e.g. Revell-Monogram 1/48 PBY-5/A Catalina and 1/32 Hawker Hunter) constantly clamoured for on the most wanted list by modellers who talk a good game but if push came to shove wouldn't spend the money on the plastic. I'd be happy to be proven wrong as I'm a massive Kinetic fan and have bought pretty much everything they've released so far.

    In stock at Hannants and Jadlam today and presumably other modelling emporiums in due course.

    Due in the UK this week according to Hannants and Creative Models.

    Even with a 100 F-16s I don't think air superiority would be possible in the current SAM environment.
