Hi all, Nothing new, I'm sorry. Just a little greeting to all of you and raise this post before it disappears. Because I don't despair of being able to carry out this project when life stops beating me. Good sequel to all of you and see you soon, Sweety

Hi everyone, Thank you for your messages, I'm glad you like it. It's moving, certainly not fast, but it's moving forward. The rear partition with the seat. See you soon, Sweety

Hi all, Not much in advance these times. The bottom of the cockpit is almost finished. See you soon, Sweety

Hi Out2gtcha, Thank you for your message. Sweety

Hi everyone, What's next? The footrests. The compressed air bottles for the hydraulic manual pump. Initially I wanted to add a welding cord. Teflon masking. But I did not like it, too rude and I can not make cords of welds thinner. The aluminum straps, bof bof! I've done it simpler, anyway they hardly will see each other. The oxygen bottle is also missing a welding cord. There it's easier, bigger! All that remains is to install all this in the background of the cockpit and plug them in with their pipes. See you soon, Sweety

Hi Archer Fine Transfers, Thank you very much for your advice it is very useful to me. Sweety

Hi everyone, A few elements to furnish the bottom of the cockpit. The joys of cleaning resin parts. We're going to have to get out the engraver's stalls. To make an old hydraulic pump. The broomstick with the toilets in Boyington. The rudders. See you soon, Sweety

Hello Ade, Thank you very much for taking the time to answer me and share your experience with me, I really appreciate it. I agree with everything you told me, I realized an F-16 with the Vallejo, than an F-14 with the Gunze and now I’m starting with the MRP. I was using the MRP Primer which seemed thinner than the AK Primer, I will listen to your advice and redo some tests with the AK Primer. I was degreasing with Isopropyl alcohol but I will follow your advice and return to washing liquid. I’m also going to try to dilute the MRP less. I know that it is small details that make a big difference on the result. Thank you very much and see you soon. Sweety

Hi Out2gtcha and Nmayhew I’ve been using the MRP paint for a short time. The MRP paint has a superb surface condition and an impressive range of hue, easy to apply, in short a very good product. I point out that I’ve used this paint only on resin for the moment. I tested several primers from different brands. Hanging the paint remains problematic on this resin, Gunze or MRP! With Gunze paint if a gluing breaks, the paint is ripped off just under the gluing, simply stick back at exactly the same place. With the MRP paint if a gluing breaks, the paint is shoveled around the gluing and it becomes difficult to repair if not impossible. For example, I reproduced sticker aluminum flanges. The low voltage of this aluminum around the hose is enough to take off the MRP and take off the surroundings, I never had that problem with the Gunze. The MRP paint once dry on a surface can adhere like latex and can peel with tweezers and remains flexible. This is not possible with the Gunze which is brittle. I find the edges of a masking less accurate with the MRP than the Gunze., probably because of its elasticity. Catastrophic when using some chipping product because nothing holds anymore, masking has low adhesive power including post-it, liquid gum, gluing etc. To limit this problem I apply the chipping product with the brush only in the necessary places that should not be hidden or glued afterwards, it’s valid for the MRP as well as the Gunze. Beware I do not criticize the MRP which is an excellent product I do not have enough experience with it to presume but I go back to the Gunze that suits me better! I do not have an MRP diluent, I dilute it when necessary with isopropylic alcohol which works very well but maybe also deteriorates its grip?? Example of an MRP that peeled, See you soon, Sweety

Hi all, Not much in advance because I had problems with the MRP painting, I had to strip and to begin again several pieces. I think I've wasted enough time with this product and I'm going back to the Gunze. As half is already done it was a bit complicated to make a mixture of several shades of Gunze to have a similar hue for the other half of the cockpit. The reconstructed pipes. Sweety

Hi Thunnus, It's demoralizing to see your masterpiece, you've set the bar very, very high. It's absolutely beautiful. Sweety

Hi everyone and Happy New Year 2020, The bottom of the cockpit. The pipes removed. Une couche d’AK pour le chipping. Une couche d’AK pour le chipping. Painting and ready to receive the new pipes. See you soon Sweety Last year I was on the brink but this year I will take a big step forward

Hi everyone, The new pipes are placed on the front bulkhead of the cockpit. Making a few flanges to fix the pipes. A bientôt, See you soon Sweety

Hi Thunnus, I'm speechless ! What a mastery it is magnificent. Hats off the artist. Sweety

Hi Thunnus, I have no words it's too beautiful. Sweety
