I can offer this set RSU48-0210 in swap against RSU48-0243 (ordered it too quickly, without knowing that there will be a slightly different set for the CF-188).

This kit is more than 50 years old and amazingly good. The original tires in my kit had decomposed to mush so I got some Tamiya RC tires, machined some rims and 3d printed some centres.
The kit comes with a motor, lights and wiring. Motor hidden in engine block, 4x AA in the fuel tank. It even has little uni joints on the tail shaft.

I've spent a bit of time trying to get the stance right. Out of box it sits quite high.

Believe me, István, A-model kits are much more modeller-friendly than Mach 2... Take a look here, for example: modelingmadness.com/..korean/us/hammx2.htm

That's something to be excited about. Mach2 kits don't have the reputation of being shaking kits. 👍

As I said on the project, I wish you luck with this, it is something you seldom see, but it looks cool in the end. It is quite a long time ago when I did mine - al the best!
and, so far it does not look that bad for a mach2

Robert, once again you have chosen a great topic. The French experimental jet powered Leduc aircraft looked really futuristic at the time of its creation.
I wish you strong nerves and a lot of fun building your model!
27 August, 22:30
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Now I feel even more pressure 😉 ... @Bruce - I know what I am talking about, I have completed a few models from both producers already 😉 @Ludvik - I was lucky enough to see both Leduc 010 and 022 in Le Bourget museum and they still look futuristic imho 🙂

He certainly wouldn't be a disgrace as a space fighter in Star Wars. 😄
The photos of the kit parts show that you really have a lot of work ahead of you.

Still, the plastic is workable, Ben. As far as I have checked: it can be filed, filled, and glued... So, there is hope... 😄

I looked in the stash and I have a mach2 kit I bought when I was young and foolish.

I have five, not counting this one... Hmm...the testimony of what kind of mental disease it is? Nothwithstanding, only Mach 2 offered models of some exotic planes, like X-24.

Alright so since the most complex thing related to scale modeling ive done is almost accidentally used tamiya plastic cement as mouthwash you can probably tell im not good at scale modeling but i want my first moc to be good so im gonna buy primer, gloss, black wash etc but i dont know in what order to apply tamiya paint, black wash, gloss, primer and finally the decals. And im scared if i apply them in the wrong order im going to end up ruining 60-ish euros worth of supplies.

Depends what you're building but usually as follows: Primer, paint(s), gloss coat, decals, gloss coat (to seal decals), then weathering products and finally a matt coat to seal the lot.

First remark, Tamiya paint is meant for an airbrush. Some colors can also be applied with a brush, but they dry very fast. In that case you wouldn't need to prepare the model with a primer either. I use the primer mostly because the model has building materials with different colors. Only if painting is done and decals are applied over a gloss varnish (if paint wasn't glossy), and with a gloss seal over them, should you use any wash. I mostly use colored wash. Try to remove most of it and only leave it in the panel lines. At last use a dull coat.

I think we all come up with processes that work for us. For armor models I normally prime, do preshading, color coat with acrylic, weather with cheap artists oils and pencils/pastels and then a final spray of "dust" with acrylic. Example here: Disston Tractor Tank | Album by uhrwerk (1:35)

YouTube is your friend for modelling videos too. There are many channel devoted to plastic modelling. Some of the one's I watch regularly are
Nigel's Modelling Bench (does a beginners series)
Jeff Donahue Scale Modeling
The Model Shed
Yorkshireman Models
Nostalgic Plastic
There are loads of them.

As Steven says, Tamiya acrylic paint is intend o be used in airbrushes. If that is the paint you have, the best way to brush paint it is by adding a few drops of Tamiya Paint Retarder. I know that product isn't widely available so alternately, and brand of acrylic paint retarder should work. Again if that's not something you can get your hands on try adding a little bit of Tamiya Thinners (Isopropyl Alcohol is a cheaper alternative. As it's alcohol you might need an adult to buy it for you. Most importantly, don't drink it, it isn't that sort of alcohol).
I haven't tried it personally, there is a way to mix your own paint retarder – quoting form the internet:
most acrylic retarders are just glycerin, glycerin is cheap at the chemist/pharmacy. It has a syrupy consistency so put about 125ml it in a 500ml distilled water then add about 5 drops of washing-up liquid.
Unfortunately model paints aren't as straight forward as just painting from the jar.

I dont use tamiya acrylic i use just plain tamiya paint with no other labels on it
28 August, 13:57
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
Plain Tamiya paint is acrylic. 😉
Somewhere on the jar it should say what it is. If it's 'X' or 'XF' then it's acrylic, if it's 'LP' then it's lacquer. I haven't used lacquer paint so I don't know how to use that.
Like I said, model paints aren't straightforward. 😄
