I have very fond memories of this kit. Lovely start Lukasz 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome. Yes, this is exactly what my KP build are all about. Unfortunately this boxing has one fuselage half bit bigger than the other one, so I try to make them fit together 🙂

Gordon Sørensen
Watching!

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome Gordon.
Painting and decalling completed. Exhausts, fuel tank, propeller, spinner and some underwing details are waiting for their turn.

Alec K
Looking great Lukasz. Happy New Year 👍

John Thomas
Nice work

Zsolt Czegle
Great work so far! 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Looking forward,... very nice work so far.

Matthew A
Shiny

Łukasz Gliński
Díky, köszi, Danke & thanks! 🙂
@Matthew: Well, yes, it's gonna stay shiny as on the boxart

Matthew A
Lovely

Vittorio Gentili
Cool!

ForestFan
Nice!

Łukasz Gliński
Thank y'all

Alec K
Shiny yes, but a funny story: when I first got this kit as a kid I thought it was white (based on the box art). I remember being pretty disappointed that is was not 🙁

Gordon Sørensen
Fantaatic looking NMF, Lucasz!

Łukasz Gliński
@Gordon: Thanks, but it's rather to simulate alu paint, NMF wasn't popular in the Eastern Europe as much as it was in the West😉
@Alec: Nice story, I never thought of it this way. LOL 😄 I love these vintage boxarts by Mr. Velc and want to finish most of my old KP kits basing on them. Even though they're often inaccurate or even fictional (see MiG-15UTI) 🙂

Alec K
Agreed. There is a lot of nostalgia associated with the original KP kits, myself included. Interesting to see it spill also to our neighbors 🙂. I do have most of it in my stash but lack the resolve to build them 😄 😄 😄. I do have the CS-199 in its new incarnation, and your build just moved it up in the queue😉

Stefan Schacht
very nice so far, it is not too late to take a seat 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
No, not too late yet, so warm welcome Stefan 🙂
@Alec: I got all of them, what I always dreamt of 🙂 I was thinking of building each of them together with its modern equivalent, but I decided I have not enough space for that 😄

Łukasz Gliński
Finished! I get better with rigging (MiG by Uschi 0.2mm this time), but had problems with some decal edges, UV cut varnish seem to react with them (a bit visible around the tailfin roundel) even through 2 layers of GX gloss 🙁
PS. Do you like the background more than the hangar?

Alec K
Looks great! The background is very cool, but, you HAVE to do at least a few hanger pics, for continuity's sake😉

Łukasz Gliński
Challenge accepted, waiting for the sun to show up! 😄

Alec K
🙂 👍

Łukasz Gliński
@Alec: Mission accomplished (though the weather is still expected to improve) 🙂

Alec K
Very nice! I like that C-3 hiding in the background😉 (at least I think that's what that is...)

Łukasz Gliński
Indeed, sir Hawkeye😉

Alec K
😄

Łukasz Gliński
I intended to take some pics with C-3A and Yak-23 but then my camera ran out of batteries 🙁

Watching...

I don't think that Magic Factory is aiming to be a budget brand. More basic kits like those from Takom's Blitz line are still incredibly reasonably priced for example.

Matthias Weiss
I'll keep an eye on the Chinese market and let you guys know the local reference price as soon as it is available. Than you can think about if the importers and hobby stores in your countries are ripping you off or not. 😉

Eric Silbaugh
Ebay has some direct from China sellers. Can get for next to store price. That's where I'll get mine from.

Mina Ro
Ya its sad we have to buy elsewhere due to price but it is a choice I utilize to get a better price for sure. Just make sure its a seller in China who packs models correctly and ships promptly or your going to wait over a month and get a broken kit. Always check feedback first.

Eric Silbaugh
I do. I have a good three that I can trust and have had great experience with and no issues

Trez Mackenzie
I stopped buying from China - kits always broken and forever to arrive and for all that they make about a 1000% profit.

Eric Silbaugh
None of mine have been broken.

Trez Mackenzie
But you have only bought one.

Eric Silbaugh
Multiple from the same seller. So more than one.

Trez Mackenzie
Sure, multiple kits in one sale

Eric Silbaugh
Nope. Multiple transactions.

Trez Mackenzie
Yep. Multiple transactions with just one kit. Difficult to break paints

Eric Silbaugh
No multiple different kits. Do you just hate Chinese or something? Or?

Trez Mackenzie
Just trying to get to the truth

Eric Silbaugh
Got ya.

Eric Silbaugh
Well you got it.

Evan McCallum
Can we stop bickering and act like adults now?

Eric Silbaugh
It all good

Trez Mackenzie
I think you should mind your own business. No one was addressing you so keep pious nose out of it!

Eric Silbaugh
Bro you need to chill.

Trez Mackenzie
And you also need to keep your nose out of it!

Mina Ro
My oh my, no need for all this, modelers need to come together like gun owners do. We are all on the same team!

Eric Silbaugh
Right Mina. No need to act like a child.

Trez Mackenzie
I agree! No need to act like a child Mina!

Eric Silbaugh
Says the one who was acting like one. Lol

Eric Silbaugh
I am out of this convo.

Trez Mackenzie
About time to! Goodness me you do go on

Eric Silbaugh
Says the one who got a butthurt. My god you do go on.
