Good afternoon, colleagues. I'm not a big fan of jet planes, this assembly was rather a desire to assemble something simple in order to relax. Moreover, I have never dealt with the TAMIYA company, I wanted to get acquainted. The set is an old 1974 model, in a scale of 1: 100. The set is quite primitive, with large gaps, steps of half a millimeter, utyazhinami, in short, not impressed. The work turned out to be a little difficult, just the assembly would look quite shabby, I tried to complicate it. I cut through the air brakes, in places where I could, I made riveting, chassis niches, in places I used the remnants of photo etching and so on. The model is small, "sharp", constantly trying to catch on something, a couple of times flew off the table. The color is different from the prototype, to sculpt masks on this awl did not have enough patience. Painted Valejio, stained with art oil. In some places, I used aluminum foil. If you like the viewing, I will be happy. Sincerely, Mikhail

F/A-18 Hornet Mackit 1:100 scale Here's a wacky idea: a metal die-cast with plastic appendages sold as an unpainted kit. I bought this kit on special in 2004. Plus points: The completed model has the "heft" of a die-cast. The decal sheet includes options for US, Swiss and Australian aircraft. Plenty of plastic underwing stores are included, but no instructions as to which are appropriate for which nationality. Negative points: Stand model: no undercarriage is provided, nor are gear doors even marked on the fuselage. Parts fit is not good. In the absence of a grinding or milling machine removing imperfections from the metal fuselage and wings is extremely difficult. The underside of the tailpane has the copyright information in raised letters, which I think detracts from a scale model. My build notes The assembly of this kit dragged on for years, I eventually decided to just finish it off, with most of the imperfections as they are. I made a mistake in the decal application and thus not all of the kangaroo markings face the nose of the plane.
