Nice weathering on both cockpits. What is your impression of the mini-art kit against the Tamiya kit?
15 March, 18:23

John, I haven't gotten my hands on Tamiya's P-47, but I've done other Tamiya aircraft in 1:48 scale and I would say that their engineering is still unbeaten. The detail on the MiniArt kits is I think the pinnacle of what is possible with injection molding, but in some aspects the kit is over engineered and unnecessarily complex.
17 March, 00:51

Thanks Dmitriy. Your thoughts are tracking with several other reports I have been reading lately.

Very very nice. Especially the golden cockpit windows. What kind of paint did you use for the golden transparent colour?

Good progress so far! The canopy looks great, what approach did you use to get the nice tint?
23 April, 18:47

It's highly diluted Tamiya clear green sprayed from a somewhat long distance (about 12cm). It takes many passes and you can get a very subtle tint
23 April, 19:19

Got this kit in my stash too .... so following 🙂
And nice to see someone else who also mounts the gear struts before any painting goes on 🙂
24 April, 21:14

I usually avoid it, for the sake of painting, but it's quite a complex gear, I wouldn't be able to assemble it properly on a painted aircraft. I normally dry fit, then decide
25 April, 06:38

Ì usually do it because unpainted plastic fuses best to have a really sturdy undercarriage .... but indeed, not every build alows it 🙂

Although it looks like a rolling coffin, Zsolt started a great party with it! The modulation looks very convincing.

After enamel pinwash I played with oilbrushers from Amm: I faded blended and highlighted the green base color

Awesome looking Intruder and the photo work is striking! Congratulations. I flew the A-6E TRAM and my last cruise the SWIP version. Only a true Intruder geek would probably know this, but the A-6 version you've chosen did not have the capability to carry HARM missiles. That didn't come until the SWIP version in about 1989. We didn't get SWIP birds till 1992 (VA-155). But the model and photo are first class.
25 April, 10:09

Wow, this is one project where I actually needed to look twice to see if it is a model or the real thing. Excellent workmanship and lovely photos too - the hangar backdrop and the two tiny figures are superb.

Very expensive, £65-£93 for a full kit without wheels. £35-£55 for transkits.
31 March, 18:19

This kit has wheels. It is a full kit with wheels, tires, dash mirrors, separate door panels and vacuformed glass. This picture doesn't show all the parts. One of the best 3D prints I've seen.

Thanks... the cracked paint is "fixable"... more worried now about the weird texture... I think I'll spend a fair amount of varnish + sanding to disguised it...

How do I delete my picture? It keeps getting posted upside down.
24 April, 15:36

Sometimes the camera orientation code overrides the display orientation.
If you go to 'Manage' and then 'Advanced options' you can change the orientation of your photos. No need to delete.
25 April, 06:19

i think that Philip is talking about profile picture, not picture in Albums, so "manage" and "advanced options" will not work this time....
the issue probably is with the EXIF data stored in the original picture. I would suggest to use some photo editing program to rotate and export the picture , so all the EXIF data is not included, and that may resolve the issue
25 April, 23:35

or maybe take a new picture and upload again, that should remove the existing one.

Nice work with your airbrush and the PE Kevin. Really like your wing root chipping. I am about to use a Techmod decal sheet on another RAF P-51 decal sheet, how did they work for you. Did you mix Techmod and Tamiya decals?
25 April, 23:02

As far as the decal themselves, they were very good. I did notice a bit of silvering I didn't catch on the clear carrier film around the stencils, but that could have been user error as much as anything else. Other than that, they were a dream. I did have a bit of an oddity in that my set didn't come with the instruction sheet for the placement of the stencils, so I was able to dig up a digital version of them. That sheet had some misnumberings (the main markings were all correctly numbered). And this one was 100% Techmod decals, as this boxing was a P-51B and, in any event, I try to avoid Tamiya decals like the plague where I can. 😄

Thank you all. This build was an emotional rollercoaster. I was impressed by the details of this kit, but annoyed by the complicated engineering. Building the landing gear was no fun at all, to be honest. The raw paint job was really good in my eyes, but I completely ruined it with the gloss coat. I was about to throw it away. After a lot of touch ups and a matte coat my confidence came back, and in the end I am really quite happy with the result.
The weathering was pretty simple, just black and brown oil paint. Less was more in this case, I guess.
7 November 2024, 19:19

It is good that you persisted, the result proves you right. I would have guessed at least 1/48!
7 November 2024, 19:27

Now that I completed the second kit, I can say that the Arma Hobby kit might be more expensive, but it is clearly the better one. More challenging and more rewarding, with superior details and finer molding. Definitely worth the higher price.
25 April, 11:26

Things to note, BMP suspension is asymmetrical so track part C8 needs to alternate from rear sprocket end and front idler end, so you need to dry fit this. Important, for step 23, i think mud guards are swapped, so I think A24 goes on right, but look at pictures first and dry fit.
Biggest upset was the log covers the corner weld detail, so you need to put the log on unless you want to model weld line with putty. my kit had gunners thermal top searchlight snapped off, otherwise it had great detail

Thank you, Martin! I was hoping for a little better result on the interior. However, in real life it looks better than on these magnified pictures.
21 May 2023, 08:15

Good to see this project back on tracks. I think I see your point regrading the decals, the new version looks so much cleaner.
