    That test build looks encouraging, a lot more subtle in the handling of the fuselage surface details than the 3D Arma Models offering. I think it looks better. And a lot easier than adding your own rivets to the Italeri....

    Perseverance! Great work, looks very sinister. I had my rounds years back with that kit, I had forgotten about the cart, glad to see it included.

    I'm on the final stretch of the Hobby Boss MiG-29K, which is the same kit (bar a few details) as the MiG-35, it's a good kit. I see HB like Italeri but with better detail. It's going together very nicely with no fit issues, details are good, cockpit good and it will be OOB with exception of my own small refinements and decals. It's not without some head scratching moments regarding some decisions on their part. I've enjoyed the HB kits I've built, not underwhelming to me at all and certainly lacking the utter frustration of some Trumpeter and KH builds. However I do think their decal department needs to be fired. One should not have to hand paint them...

    Brass landing gear would be a good idea!

    Very fine work there, you've built a CV-22. Did you change any of the bumps and antennae or was it just decals?

    The YF-23 barely fits on my shelves, that's big! Great perseverance and result. Regarding the design of the kit, does it feel solid or do you have to hold your breath when moving it?

    I think this is my favorite build ever. Museum piece.

    Thanks BM! I did keep going and finished it, I'll put it up in Ready for Inspection when I've got some good photos.

    I love a long term project finished. Excellent work.

    Stupendo, molto bravo.

    Finally! I've had enough of scratch building empty interiors of the Academy/Italeri kits.

    Great building, I love the display of later Tomcatters' aircraft with it. Inspiring.

    Fantastic result, I've been down that road with all the aftermarkets, not easy. Fine paintwork.

    10 out of 10!

    Love it, great to see it in those colors.

    Love it, big DAP beast mode. Good job all around!

    Very nice weathering and love the old school painted cockpit, excellent. Never too many A-10s.

    Blue or red? Let's see it! I still have parts of another Monogram F-18 and an old Testors T/F-18 (with open LEX slots) that I've considered combining for another colorful early model.

    I went for the squeaky clean rollout look but there are access panels that have been outlined with a thin lead pencil, they just don't show up well in the photos.
  20. paulsbrown
    I don't think I did, I believe I felt that the thickness of the Monogram nosecone was substantial enough to handle the coarse sanding away. Thanks and show us your progress or final result!

    Thanks guys! I enjoyed the deep dip into nostalgia with the two Monogram prototype kits, the box tops always reminded me that I wanted to make them again (and not using my mother's ultramarine blue and cadmium red oil paints that never dried...). There was a third in the nostalgia builds, the Revell A-10 spotted JAWS scheme but I ended up using the Tamiya kit. They all look great together and remind me of all the magazine photos from my childhood.

    No doubt! You have some ambitious projects going on, keep it up.
  23. paulsbrown
    I built the 1/48 Ka-52 Neomega conversion, same things missing (except the cockpit was excellent), tons of extra work! Nicely done.
  24. paulsbrown
    Che bravissimo!

    I feel your pain, finished mine last month after as you say, a lot of work! Can you post some more photos in the Ready for Inspection gallery for us to see? Welcome to the new tool indeed.
