Hi,

 

lovely work on the "Грач" 👍 Your scratch built details are really nice but highlight that we really need a new, up to date kit. Great solution on the Eduard pylons. I was quite p***** when I discovered the same problems as you, especially as their shape look correct on the 3D renders 😡

So I will shamelessly copy your fix for mine.

 

Cheers

Markus

Great work on upgrading the details, looking forward to see the finished kit.

 

Are you using Authentic Decals? They appear to be a tad on the large side (I ran into the same problem with a set for a Su-17).

Yeees! Authentic Decals is very breakable. In my case not only ;large side, but and small part too.
But magic liquid help me:

After the first decals broke, I let them soak in the water reeealy long and found them very workable. But of course this is annoying if you have to apply dozens of stencils.

I could use only half of the sheet because of the wrong scaling; for the smaller stencils I just cut a few lines from the larger decals.

I also found the color quite vivid, so I applied a thin overspray of the underlying color to brind down the saturation.

Smer (like KP/MisterCraft/...) originates from the original OEZ tooling (single and double seater). The only other current tool line of 1/48 Frogfoot kits is the Monogram/Revell one (although it isn't really 1/48 and not too accurate). Then there will be Kitty Hawk in the future.

- Vielen Danke

- Kitty Hawk is due to gives us new  Frogfoot single and double seater but their issue is postponed one month after another for almost two years now. I have a pre order on them but  I m going to  cancel it.
