Cockpit lights are easy to replicate. I use two telescoping tubes cut to the correct length. The tubes can be styrene or metal alloys. Why rely on after-market when you have fingers?

It’s exactly what I did decades ago when I made models out of balsa blocks. Thank you for your reply. Quang -

The main fact is this: what is a negative comment to each one of us, as an individual? As long as opinions vary, the issue remains. So it goes.

IMO a coat of varnish is a must is you want your wash to behave as a wash . An unprotected cloth material will INSTANTLY absorb the paint preventing you to create a wash, namely a gradient from colour to transparency. Here’s my method: 1- wet the cloth to make it pliable 2- arrange the folds and let dry overnight. 3- with a paint brush, apply a thin coast of varnish on the folded mess.The varnish would make the folded harness rigid as it dries. 4- paint and shade the entire harness assembly with your usual technique. I use the same Vallejo acrylics as I do on my figures. HTH Quang

@Zola25 Thank you Niels for your input and your beautiful Viggen. Unfortunately the photos of the finished model don’t tell me much. I guess we all need to know is the full building experience : how is the plastic, how does it behave under pressure, the gluing, the fit, the landing gear adjustment, etc… How can we sand off the lines and keep the surface detail at the same time, etc. Until someone comes with the answers, we’d all be waiting. Cheers, Quang -
You talking ‘bout Edgar J ?

I know about the print lines as I have several 3D printed figures on my bench. The more expensive ones are definitely cleaner than the rest. But figures are a different matter than a scale aircraft model. I always hear ‘ooh, aah’ about 3D kits but have never seen one completed. What I’d like to know is how you guys deal with the current jetMads kits and also like to see what the results look like. Cheers, Quang -
It’s simple. You asked, I answered. Something against Temple?

Let’s see how you jetMads fans deal with the print lines. Just curious -
Better penetration?

Why out loud? Because most of us need sonotones

I’m using this. Apply a thin coat with a soft brush. Let dry overnight. Paint as usual. HTH Quang

Give the brass a coat of Gunze Metal Primer or clear nail varnish and off you go. HTH Quang
