DoubtingmangoJohne,
It was an easy kit to build, and I thought it was a nice balance between a simpler Tamiya kit and a much more highly detailed Dragon kit. The kit shares some sprues with their full interior kit, so there are lots of unused, but useful pieces included. It's made from a softer plastic than I typically work with, but I got used to it pretty quickly. Overall, it was fun to build while still providing an impressive amount of detail, and the pricing is fantastic. I'm very tempted to try my first full interior kit using one of the Takom late production hetzers.
Cheers!

Johne 69Thank you for the answer 👍 and that's nice to hear because I have some Kits from Takom in my Stash.

gorbyThat looks a hell of a brute! Excellent work, particularly with the camo and weathering.

RandoVery cool, I'm getting the Mikro Mir kit, interested to hear how it goes together
27 February, 00:22
Patrick HagelsteinTrue! Joining in as well to see how this builds up. Enjoy the build! 👍🏼
28 February, 00:28
S MWelcome, mates! I'm building also a Hasegawa kit alongside with this for comparison and for testing painting.
29 February, 06:24
Patrick HagelsteinŁukasz, I was thinking the same. That 'old' Hasegawa kit isn't that bad after all. The MikroMir kit is only marginally more refined as it seems.
4 March, 14:38
S MHasegawa has only 60 grey parts and 3 clear parts, but it is pretty smartly made and easy to build. MikroMir has 150 grey parts, 5 clear parts and 67 mandatory PE-parts. Being a short-run kit its parts need more work to fit. Still MikroMir contains more details (and Falcon missiles) than Hasegawa so it's comparatively cheaper.
4 March, 16:18
Patrick HagelsteinOK, so you do think the MikroMir kit is the more detailed one? Good to know when I get to my Austrian Draken project (sometimes this century.... )! Following your build with interest! 👍
4 March, 21:00
S MWell my background research is still going on, but atleast the cockpit is more detailed.
4 March, 21:19
S MI have to update that MikroMir's IRST is not as good as Hasegawa's. The seeker head is a clear part and there is one PE-part fin, but the two-part frame is bulky and doesn't have panel lines. Luckyly the Draken version I'm goingt to make doesn't have an IRST so I used the clear part and the PE-part to improve my Hasegawa-Draken's IRST.

S MSlow progress, but I'm very proud of this simple tool that I made in 15 min to make 0,8mm diameter styrene circles.

RandoMan. Struggling away with the clear parts on my RF-8 right now. Toughest part of modeling probably. Nice work on your canopy!
28 June, 03:30
S MThanks! @Rando I agree it is one of the most tough and riskiest parts. They took me 3 days because I wanted to make them pretty shiny with Humbrol Clear, but it takes lots of time to dry and it has become too thick. Next day when I check the clear parts they have some ugly residues and unevenness +hair. On the other part I just sanded and polished some minor points, but the other part I cleaned the varnish away with isopropanol and tried to dip it in varnish again. Next day still unevenness so I just sanded and polished them avay and dipped it in my more reliable floor polish that also dries faster.
28 June, 17:31
RandoYeah I've always had that with dipping parts in the floor polish, it doesn't dry evenly for me so I just polish with Tamiya and Novus compound. Good to get over the hump and onto painting and decals!
28 June, 23:59
S MBad luck with painting. I have to redo the top surface by removing most of the paint. It was a bad idea to preshade yellow with pink.
4 July, 23:05
ClementI've had better luck using tamiya XF-3 or any other flat yellow and following with a gloss varnish.
Gunze gloss yellow, orange, white etc are virtually useless to cover anything.
5 July, 06:32
S MYeah my choice of paints haven't been perfect, but I have settled for them and now the decals have been added. The big wisent needs some fixing.
12 July, 22:22
ClementLooking good! Given how short lived that scheme was, no preshading is probably the right call anyway 🙂
13 July, 10:47
S MI hope this gets finished in one day, because only landing gears are missing. I almost ruined this model with bad painting and bad choise of gloss varnish.
15 July, 21:39
S MThanks J35J, Clement, Podkon and Mimoid! The model is now ready, but I will take better photos tomorrow.

CaptGPFInteresting techniques on building up the afterburner can. Outside of metallics, yellow is a hard color to paint IMHO, and you pulled it off perfectly I. This build! ❤️
27 July, 15:30
J35JGreat result with the build and yellow paintwork. Also very nice to see the comparision between the Hasegawa & Mikromir kit. 👍🏻
