Snake PlisskenIs it similar to a commemorative edition or just meant to replicate natural metal finish?

Ben MIt's aluminum plated to represent the actual nmf finish. I built a t-33 where I had some issues that I hope to improve upon.

Ben MDid a lot of sanding areas that will be glued, masking, fitting parts to each other, and basic assembly while I'm on vacation. I got new decals from Siam decals as the originals are from 1968 and not in good shape. I'm not sure how old the Siam decals are but they are newer than '68. One thing that is apparent is the stripey tail decal doesn't fit at all. This is going to be a good challenge to resolve.

Ben MDecided to try to apply the 1960s decal for the cockpit, as I don't have an alternative. Had to soak it for about a minute in hot water to get it to release. As is typical for hawk kits the decal isn't the right size but you go to war with the decals you have. I got it to apply without shattering. Unsure if it will stick, very old decals like this often have to be glued in place.

Ben MI think the Siam Scale decals I'm using instead of the originals are about 20 years old but they're going on ok. A little thick, so not settling down into panel lines but I'll try some decal fluid once they set in place, hopefully they will on the aluminum surface! The roundels are two part so I will have to do a second layer…

Mr DSmart little model.... unusual in the factory chrome 👍👍
Nice classic kit.
Bit of heat of hairdryer works with thick decals.... nice n steady.
Like it 😁👍

Ben MThat's a good idea, I may give it a try. First I'm going to upgrade from micro sol to mark fit.

Mr DI use Mark fit ....but recently found the Vallejo one works amazing... Just used it on my in progress IAR-80.
Definitely my go to now.
The moon ships is great 👍👍

Ben MAn interesting detail I note while decaling. The panel lines on the fuselage are engraved. The panel lines on the wings are raised. Wtf.

Desert MarlinI've been using Mr. Mark Softener and Mr. Mark Setter. They worked well on some Kitty Hawk decals which are pretty stubborn...

Ben MThe tamiya mark fit and some work with a needle solved the problems! Thanks for all the great ideas everyone. Onwards!

Ben MDid a bunch of cut the decals into pieces to fit a different model than they were made for. Came out fairly well. Subassemblies are getting larger as the project comes together.

Mr DIt's looking really good 👍
It's great that the kits can still be built after all these years.
The people in the factory's would have never believed the model they are packing wouldn't be built until 2024 🤔🤣.
Nice build to follow 😃

Ben MAlmost complete. Popped the main fuselage seam a bit 🙁 I had gone to a lot of work to hide it. For some reason even after carefully scraping the mating surfaces I just don't get good adhesion. Maybe next time I will try only using CA for assembly on my next plated kit.

BozzerThis is a great kit, I have almost every version of it, in the Revell range. Building up the turbo can be a little tricky, but I don't remember anything too bad about it? Those chrome lights that fit on the back of the sleeper, could've been designed better, to fit? Oh, the tyres are a bit thin, so if you can source some different ones, you will be happy.

Tim PowellYeah, I've got most of the Revell kits. Building this to attach to my Dunkin' Donuts trailer

BozzerI had to build custom drawers, for my trailer storage. With space fastly running out, it was the only solution. As my stash decreases, more shelves will be going up. Now I really need to stop collecting and start building! Looking forward to seeing your trailer on the back of this though 👍

Robert B » Заявки за функцииA way to ask a general questions to members about modeling topics. For instance I have in my stash the GWH L4822 dual role F-15E, but the older box art version. Now there is a newer box art (white background)version with the same SKU and UPC codes. They appear to have the identical wording on the boxes.
It would be great to have a way to reach out to other Scalemate members and ask question like the one above. Like a forum…..

Spanjaardthere used to be possible to post things "as a question" but seems not longer possible. i think that was a great thing, and it will be great to have that back, so you can filter the newsfeed only on questions and see if you can help others, or if the question has been asked and answered already.
