AMK 1/48 МиГ-31 бCM красный 25 английская гончая


Recommended Posts

Eduard PE set colors for cockpit are always wrong in my opinion. I would definitely trust AKAN/Mr.Paint over them when it comes to russian colors.

Though it is easier to correct the color on the plastic parts rather than PE.

It's a secret mixture.. :wink: one ml of future, one ml of mr. color leveling thinner and one drop of Windsor & Newton drawing ink, airbrushed on at low pressure.

AMK has missed these small items on the wings, looks to be connected with the outboard pylons, which will be fitted after all, sincee I can't find any pictures without them..

Only the Red stars are from AMK. I do think the color looks a bit strange. The rest of the decals are HGW wet transfers. Loving them!

I will try to get Alclad metals over a glossy white finish. Should save a lot of time masking the missiles..
