superb building skills love the oil canning effect the markings look painted so either excellent painting or decaling

itis about the journey not the arrival. the hard part of it for me is when it gets screwed up( whups forget to empty the water trap or hmm should have primed the whole model not just the wings. see my posts about the revell p 51)) the effort not to slam it into a wall sometimes is immense, I have put a model on the shelf rarely but 99% of the time I have finished it. sometimes I mutter the mantra as I search for a tiny part on the floor modeling is fun repeated numerous times. I have found that the necessity of figuring out how to fix it bleeds off into life makes me more flexible in other endeavours when things go wrong. The enjoyment for me is the process not the admiring of the wall shelf

your company your rules however a russian helmet to dress up my mig 29 is by the time you convert currany is $8+ usd and shipping is $14 , let's adda figure the newest one is 21 plus usd so two light weight items of 30 plus 14 shipping is $44.00 I know no one is is making me buy one but what is nice to have becomes I pass. sorry your work is beautiful but at athrid the cost of model too expensive

hi norbert does anyone in the us carry your stuff? Would love to buy some but the shipping situation is crazy

More than one way to skin a cat, i really dont have much more to add at this point i am satisfied as to the cause and remedy without another rehash thanks to all

pic and 2 current note the number 5 was not a decal I destroyed it using very warm water to slide it the Cutting edge decals af\re very fine and you must use cool water duh, I was able to mask and paint the nmber 5 without it lifting using post it notes to avoid the oracal 810 from lifting the paint .number 3 shows only the wing and the area with the natural metal finish were primed. I also realize AK paints are very fine and need little thinner so teh lacquer to paint ratio is very low probably another reason why they need a primer coat or a good washing of the plastics pic 4 shows the aftermath of the lifting fiasco. btw Ak interactive and mig ammo have a history from a reddit post There's a very common misconception that the Fernando Vallejo that owns AK is the same that owns Vallejo Acrylicos the big paint manufacturer. They're entirely seperate companies doing entirely seperate things. They just happen to share a very common Spanish name is all. But, for Mig, you have to go a lot further back than that. Mig Jimenez started MIG quite a ways back. I believe his family was in some way involved with fronting the money. At some point there was a falling out there, and he was ousted from his own company along with some resulting family issues as a result. As I recall, this is somewhat discussed briefly in the beginning of his FAQ2 publication. He joined up with Fernando Vallejo and created AK Interactive shortly thereafter. After not too terribly long -- maybe a couple years at best -- there was another big falling out there. Lots of drama involving Mig doing his own thing, treating the company as if it was his own though it was not (the dangers of employing a 'front man' that literally IS the entire image of the company), and nasty things involving his wife/girlfriend and whether she was actually an employee who should be compensated or not. Within weeks he went and created AMMO of Mig... actually, some artwork with that branding surfaced accidentally immediately before the split with AK, leading myself to believe that he was actually trying to re-brand the company right under the nose of the actual owner which probably played a role in the split, IMHO. He took many of the employees and/or contributors along with him, especially those outside of the AK home office in Spain and was able to to launch a fully re-branded line mirroring much of the AK lineup in just a few weeks -- all point towards this being a fairly orchestrated thing in my opinion. AK's products continued to be fine, but their publications in particular suffered as a result, though the very recent ones launched in the past couple months seem to be significantly improved. Mig also claims that the paint manufacturer went with him, though AK claims they didn't lose their paint manufacturer... I think they may both be telling the truth actually and the same company does both. Their paints handle identically and they tend to release similar products very near one another. Ammo of MIG, AK Interactive, and MIG continue on today, though not a whole lot remains of MIG. And, again, Vallejo is an altogether different paint company that doesn't, and never has, had any relation to Mig or AK. Ammo and AK are both strong brands and produce extremely similar lineups today. ps btw I checked it and of course teh tamiya spray primer is lacquer as I thought, and Quang did the tonal mapping on the wings with pre and post shading with different lacquer colors you really don't see it in the photos and yes it does add depth pps the call letters got pushed off the edge I think the insignia decal was to wide or the invasion stripes to narrow( i used maktar pre measured tape) o h well also I had presprayed the insignia on the port side so no bleed through of invasion stripes when I switched to decals I had not done it on the starboard side hence the bleed through

Ak interactive is a lacquer acrylic thinned with lacquer. Tamiya spray bomb fine primer is lacquer. Lacquer lacquer . enamel for the invasion stripes. No violation of lacquer first enamel second then water based paint. Sorry i thought you all were familiar with the AK based paint line should have specified the lacquer line. Personally i dont use water based paint ironically because i think it lifts. The problem has been over come i think i should have washed the mold release oil off i skipped that step for some reason model master enemels was immune to it . Also second error did not prime the entire model only the wings and tails where i had no lifting. So i think i dud not do the basics and got a poor result. Will post a pic later

Tamiya primer is water based? The stuff in the spray cans is lacquer i thought? Any way the only area that lifted was the ones i did not prime, i stupidly did not prime the whole airframe for some reason. Also the lifting was not where the markings were it was around it where i burnished the mask down. Interestingly enough when i minimized the area on a mask with post it notes it worked fine.

the only real problem with it is that the cowl is not centered right and you need to adjust it down a mm or 2 not a difficult fix. I like it better then the trumpeter as there is all that engine and ducting which does not show. It completes as a beautiful model. Note I did not do the cowl correction as it is barely visible.

still hoping for a mig 29a cockpit I predict it will be realsed the day after I glue in the cockpit with the euadward set in

My only issue with this is that shadows depend on incident light and are not static. The other personal problem is that i paint with a melange of paints acrylic enamel and lacquer due to history and color acquisition which further complicates the process. Certainly you get superb results from the artistic application of it and will have to try it

I think i understand the theory but the technique is less clear

makes me want to build another f 16, I did mine with some eduard metal details for the seat and paint but this looks better. lately I have not wanted to use expensive but beautiful resin as it is such a pain to get them to fit. This is a definite plus especially in a jet where you can see the details. Ihav e eduard set for the Mig 29A hopefully there will be a set for this soon

sadly probably have a hard time finding one though

yes they ship but shipping for a set of decals which measure 4 x 5 inches was $50. Effectively right now that means they do not ship in my opinion.

Good old revell unless you mean the tube glue with toluene. Revell contacta is not very available on the us side of the atlantic i checked 5 usd for the glue and 50 usd shipping. You can use cyno glue but tamiya thin works for me
