Robert BarkoskiBeautiful weathering! I had similar issues with my Accurate Miniatures A-36. The decals where sooo bad. Everything else in the kit was great though.
Album info
Hello,
This a few pictures of my last built, the TMB-3 Avenger, from the Accurate Miniatures Kit (1/48).
Albeit being nearly 30 years old, it's still a very nice kit, without any significant trap.
The only difficult part is the assembly of the rear turret and the fact that the notice is very light with very basic drawings.
It's worth downloading the Italeri notice, which is more useful.
The original stencils were totally unusable (they fall apart in thousands pieces, when you put them in the water), most probably because of the age of the kit.
I' bought the Techmod decals sheet and had a similar problem with the wing roundels (even so this stencils are very thick). Fortunately, my friend Pit' gave me one from the Italeri kit, he had stored.
The kit was painted with Gunze and MRP references. I' had a surprise with two bottle of Gunze H56 (Intermediate Blue) who had two totally different shade... I therefore switched to the MRP, who seems much pore realistic.
Thanks for looking.
Bye
Didier
