VolkerR. Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 My output has doubled recently, after three in March I built another three in April. Quick and dirty. First is Trumpy`s F100. OOB, only Eduard masks: Next is the old SU-7 kit, built from the Revell boxing. Some AM used: New Ware masks, Master tubes, QB air scoops, Hi Line decals. Wheel well covers scratch built. I am no so content with the nile valley camo, the earth tone should be darker: Finally Eduard`s Shachak. Completely OOB. I am not good at free-hand spraying, especially the brown should have been done better: Thanks for looking! Stay healthy and well and keep on modelling.

SAT69 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I especially like the F-100. You represented very well the heat affects of the engine on the surface of the rear fuselage. Nicely done. Can you tell me how the Trumpeter F-100 compares to the Monogram/Revell 1/48 F-100D? I've built that kit but not the Trumpeter and for me the Monogram/Revell kit presents build issues.

I never built the Monogram kit, so I can not compare, but I can sure recommend the Trumpy kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(0) As you are talking camos yourself: I love the nile camo one, yeah probsbly a bit different to what is usually reported, but with these rare subjects you csn never be 100% sure I was more astonished to see it with Algerian markings though!!

I had read before that it is a difficult build, but I found it OK. Some dryfitting will help. The decals were difficult though. My recommendation: Cut the red lines in pieces and apply them one after the other in pieces of 5cm each. I had a hell of a time with them and had to cut them when they were already wet.

Thanks, but again, really great , good looking models ! You hit a point there. Last month I built three kits and only for the F-100 I had the correct paint. For the IAF Mirage I did not have any, so I chose the nearest of what I had. I know some people would not do anything like that. Well, I do sometimes.🙂 For the the SU-7 I had the correct light green tone. So I needed a blackgreen (RLM70?) and a brown tone. I made a test on paper and found blackgreen too dark and Tamiya duff a good contrast to Tamiya olive green. As it turned out, the green was ok on the model, but duff was too light. Better luck next time. But I sure will build another nile valley camo a/c, maybe an egyptian MIG-21. And I have to admit that that I am only fully satisfied with the F-100. So maybe I should spend more pocket money on paint. Volker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about that, but Isreli colors are really hard to mix... I failed once miserably...and did not try again .. But generaly I mix them myself a lot....
