TreehuggerNice camo.
Q: Would one want a 0.2 mm airbrush for making such a pattern?

Ferenc SarkaI made the revell version earlier. A little bit better but neither of them is issue free. The revell unreachable on the market, just the italeri version. Good luck for your project.
5 July, 20:53
Thomas KolbI am definitely following this build. The Italeri kit is not an easy build (and it is a model of the very first A-version of the Gripen, not the C-version used by Hungary), but it is the only one that exists today. I am however sure you will do a splendid job!

Maciej BellosI have to watch also! Could you show us a photo of the decals? When were the decals produced?
7 December 2022, 14:35
Michael KohlMy friends. I am really happy to have you around as I was sincerely hoping that this build will arouse the interest of the three of you.
Maciej, are you referring to the kits decals or the ones from RSmodelle. Concering the latter, I cannot tell you, as I have not received them yet.
7 December 2022, 16:13
Maciej BellosI have the kit, courtesy of Robert.
I was referring to the BSModele decals, as masking the scheme was really challenging and, ehm, painful!
7 December 2022, 16:30
Michael KohlHere us the link to the decals at their homepage:

Looking at them, I am afraid some decent masking is still ahead of me.

Robert PodkońskiGood job so far, Michael! (you can find some walkaround photos in my albums, if you wish to 😉 )

Michael KohlWellcome Bernd and Guy.
Robert, thank you for the invitation. I already helped myself. 🙂
And thanks folks for your likes. Motivates even further.

Łukasz GlińskiProgressing very well. I hope the pilots don't mind being polished 😛
16 December 2022, 12:27
Michael KohlThanks mates for your interest and the likes. Hopefully I will be able to progress this build soon.

Isaac KiteTaking a seat. The Iskra is a sexy plane, no idea why the Delfin won that contract. Let me guess. Political elimination? Regardless, looking forward to watching this develop.
6 October 2023, 14:57
Michael KohlFunny. Just the evening before your comment, Isaac, I dusted them planes and finished the cockpits. Let's move on.
6 October 2023, 17:44
Michael KohlTook them out of the shelf another time. Quite a bit of sanding had to be done. Particular the inner rear area of the wing where the box of the intakes tapers towards the trailing edge of the wing is much to thick in the kit. A bit of elbow grease was required there.
A fresh comparison with a machine in flight revealed some more issues I adressed. So, some more filling and sanding. Now I gotta wait till my trusted Mr. Hobby primer sets properly.

Alec KTaking a very, very belated seat. Great project, had a few chuckles reading your captions 😄
24 October, 17:38
Mr DAt least all the preflight checks will be done with German pilots 🤣 just keep them away from Starfighter be ok 😁.
Looking good nice fun project... Cockpit is great,
I use "Nail liner brushes" for cockpit n detail work... there used in beauty parlours for Painting pictures on nails.... There quite cheap and much more accurate than most fine paint brushes out there. 6 or 7mm best.
Good luck with next steps 😃👍
24 October, 20:26
Michael KohlHi Mr D and Alec K. Welcome.
@Alec: I deliberately take loooong brakes with this project so thay even the slowest out there can catch up 😉
@Mr D: I will look out for them nail liner brusher and see if they might serve my needs. I have tons of brushes but 90% of my hand painting is done with Winsor & Newton No. 7 Size 2. Hurts when you buy them, but they are of an incredible quality.
28 October, 17:19
Michael KohlThe main filling and sanding job done on one of the birds. A handful of details will be added before the final prepaint sanding. The canopy needs some work too. The frame of it is too coarse and will be sanded (almost) flush. Apart from that are there fit issues at the windshield that need to be addressed.

Mike Goodman"A complicated linkage of reduction gears, ball bearings, couplings and shafts resulted in the P-39 coming to life like no other airplane when started. With the self-control of an excited puppy, the Airacobra would shake, shiver and shimmy as if genuinely atwitter at the prospect of going flying." (Warplanes to Alaska, Blake W. Smith)

bughunterWelcome Robert! Which one you want to take, the yellow or a green one? 😉
Please do not miss the project description, for the _VERY_ important reason for this project!
31 October, 18:55
Ludvík KružíkI'll sit down too. If I'm not mistaken, one green seat is still open. 😉
31 October, 22:40
bughunterHello my friends! A warm welcome to each and every one of you!
Working on the parts of this kit can be considered bodily harm! The bright yellow hurts your eyes and you can't see any details or damaged areas that need work. I would have preferred a more common gray!

KennethHallo Frank, the set with lap belts only could be intended for the US Navy variant of the Stearman, the N2S. Until US entry in WW2, US Navy aircraft mostly did not have shoulder belts. I read this in a review of a 1/32 Vought Kingfisher while looking for seatbelts and wondering about the same thing for my 1/32 Revell/ICM N2S Stearman kit.
2 November, 08:55
bughunterWelcome! Thanks Kenneth! That makes sense, as the kit offers also a yellow Navy plane with red stripes. Luckily my wife want it blue-yellow. All the pictures I found shows also shoulder belts, but that was mostly still flying machines and I guess the shoulder belts was added later.
I had already downloaded the ICM manual as an additional reference and looked at reviews because of an oddity on the upper wing. More on this later.
