This won't be in FAA colours as I don't have any more FAA decals for this era of phantom so it's going to have to RAF.

Hi Dave pain in the but when something like this happens to paint..?
It's all a learning curve.
I snapped a canopy in two recently.
Don't let it put you off, Velejo paints are very reliable and don't let you down.
I purchase a basic colours set when l first set out and never looked back.
Good luck with sorting it out..👍👍

Shame about the crazing as the model was looking very good. Do you know if it was the paint or the top coat which cracked?

David H
Mr D , nothing puts me off, as you say it's all a learning curve. Gorby, I "think" it was too heavy a paint coat,. I've stopped using pure acrylics. I now use Tamiya acrylics thinned 50/50 or more with cellulose thinners (and a mask) gives a super smooth finish and no primer needed to key

I agree it's a weird announcement, but i think it's a real one.
Ronny Bar seems to be responsible for the profiles of the decal variants.
That is also the reason why I think this is a first-class kit

As far as I know this is ran by the guy who formerly ran the european store for aviattic. I think they had a falling out so now he's relaunching without aviattic items. Hence the ww1 focus and stock of gaspatch etc. The kit will likely be resin. As for the website I think quite a lot of AI generated images are used throughout which doesn't help but the guy and store are legit if my assumption is right.

Taking a seat here 🙂

Martin Oostrom
That is some nifty work Petar

George Williams
Nice work. Which carbon fibre decals did you use?

Petar Žorić
Thank you Martin!
And thanks George, i actually found some on aliexpress, like 4 dollars a paper, totally didnt think it would work but it did. I can try and find it if you are interested!

George Williams
Thanks, Peter, here in China it's a question of availability, Tamiya is usually the easiest to obtain. Looking forward to seeing the finished Diablo, good luck with the doors.

Thank you David!

Spence Wilson
Looking good. Curious about the colors used for the headers?

Petar Žorić
Well, I did paint them in metalic aluminium, i think it was A stand color, but over that i just mixed some oils to make a rust paint, not even sure which color it was to make it but a bit of red, orange, brown and just handpainted over metalics. I wanted the option to wipe it off in case I don't like it, but I did 😄
