    after 3 weeks of holiday I am back at the workbench. did paint job on Sandy in past days. For the first time I have used Mr. Paint stuff so here is my experience of not so skilled modeller: really easy to use, great mixture for airbrush and good fit to original colours IMO you can build up different shades easily with thin layers applied gradually. together with Gunze C paints, these are the paints of choice for me "0 cons: bad smell, on the level of surfacers, I did the all paint job outside wearing protective mask. And for somebody price could be show stopper. Have used 2/3 of bottle for light grey and 1/2 bottle of desert one. Overall the cost for camuflage of A-1 cost me up to 8€ some photos firstly I did some preshading for light grey and desert brown (darkened with black)... and build up camuflage... and some subtle postshading (added up to 5-10% white) thanks for looking jan

    engine completed used some dark and deep grey wash exhausts finished with rust pigments, at the end it looks to me quite rough and overdone, but it will be hidden now I need to play with cowling fit a little bit thanks for looking jan

    thanks guys for your kind words! really appreciate managed to paint prop so far and did some work on engine, even I did not bother myself with super details because it will be invisible once closed. and drilled the exhausts... engine painted with GSI Super metallic SM1 and exhausts painted with Tamiya burnt metal I have added lead wires, but have used diamter 0.2mm, which looks pretty thin compared to pictures but will leave it at that definitely diameter 0.4mm was quite heavy IMO so probably the best way could be 0.3mm. this is how it looks like at the end not so much of it will be visible thanks for looking jan

  15. Jan_G

    after I choose shipping option I get this screen Nicolas, and after I have clicke paypal I was redirected to paypal site to finish my payment hopefully it helps jan
  20. Jan_G
    After you choose shipping option Danny you can decide to pay by paypal or to enter billing address and card details but I didnt finish any order yet so cannot confirm if its working correctly jan
  21. Jan_G
    This is quite weird Nicolas, because I can use paypal to pay, that is that stage when you realise what VAT should you pay

    Thanks Alan To answer your question Brian, I have used Gunze C351 Zinc Chromate Type 1 mixed with C364 Aircraft Gray Green (ratio 2:1 or 3:1) for this build you can get it in this set jan

    quite slow progress with this one cleaning parts, sanding and dry fitting of major parts...but honestly I really enjoy this kind of builds first layer of surfacer applied and Gunze RLM02 used for wheel wells and I was playing with Radu's rivet tool a little bit - its great. I was doing rivets for first time and realised that it was not such a challenge than I expected. lessons learned: If you poured a soap water in the sink - always use strainer - waste disposer ate 3 parts in past week but I have written to HPH already If I can get them extra was waiting for HPH Epoxy, but now I have it so will glue main parts together as a next step... thanks for looking jan

    small upadte overall fit is great, some minor fit issues with Aires cockpit but nothing significant thanks for looking jan

    no real surprise regarding prices... for EU customers it will be: kit price + VAT + shipping e.g. shipping to Slovakia is 24€ per kit + 20% VAT so I can get e.g. Sopwith Pup for 115€ or Postwar Dh.9a for 181€ so for me real increase is the shipping fee - 24€ per item (doesnt matter if its Felixtowe or Pup) and there is no possibility to combine shipping for multiple items but I don't mind, I will put my first order today
