Thank you guys for the interest and patience with my never ending typos 🙂
I am of course not the first one to build this kit in the IDF version, but I am trying my own approach.
@Mr D: I am using Xtreme Metal paints. Their Aluminium and Duraluminium are by far my favorites among many other I tried in the last years. Both need no thining and can be used directly out of the bottle. The metallic paints from Xtreme Metal are compatible with Alclad metallics, where my first choices for "Steel" and "Jet Exhaust" are. So you can mix both brands for shading. I am using the Mr. Hobby Thinner, since especially the Alclad Steel is thick and more pretentious. Otherwise regarding the Vallejo metallics, although I experimented quite much with acrylics, nobody managed so far to convice me that spraying acrylics has any advantage over the other "dark side" (other than smell). The Vallejo Silver is indeed the best metallic paint I have found so far that can be applied by brush (for small details or minor chipping). It settles well without waves or protuberances maintaining a good shine (if applied properly). Otherwise, I would personally never think of applying acrylic metallics by airbrush. But there is certainly a reason why some people are still trying that, just that I personally don't know the secret recipe.

Hi Marius 👋😃👍
Thanks for the info, be really helpful .
I'm trying to learn about paint and techniques....and advice like this is appreciated 👍
I only purchased an airbrush about a year ago.
Yes the Velejo silver brush paints really well.
What size needle jet do you use for the Extreme metrics?? and general use ?
Thanks

Nice work on those stripes.
I share your frustration regarding Print Scale lack of research, they are also pretty hard to apply, especially small stencil sized decals.
I tend to avoid the brand these days.
I'm looking forward to the rest of your build, it's gonna be a stunner.

YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!!! - Un-classic Box ArtTashigrushka – Curtiss P-40 Warhawk (so I’m led to believe) – WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!!!!!

Nice collection of WTF box arts 🙂. To be fair, majority of them are from the ancient era (60's/70's/80's) of modelling, nobody focused that much on what's on the box back then (but there were also really nice looking artistic pieces from those times that I remember). I'll try to find some newer (90's and onward) box arts that I consider a "failed mission in marketing" - this one is a nice example from 2021 --> Saab TF-35 Draken (Skale Wings SS-72001, 1:72), and this one a bit older (2003), but also has a high WTF factor --> Messerschmitt Bf-109E 3/4 "H..tenkrad (Academy 2214, 1:72).

Aaaaaand my favourite:
PZL P-23 a Karas (RUCH MK006, 1:72)
PZL P-23a (Coopexim , 1:72)
PZL-23A Karaś (RUCH , 1:72)
PZL P.23A Karaś (PZW , 1:72)
which one do you like most? 😄
Don't you dare look at the contents - what's most unbelievable: the same moulds are used now to produce "new" kits:
PZL P-23B Karas (BIGMODEL K72046, 1:72)

Yes it bugs me when classic box-art is altered to remove any sign of unpleasantness. This is an ideal example.
Superfortress (Airfix 07001-4, 1:72)
Boeing B-29 Superfortress (Airfix A07001, 1:72)
One is full of action and the other is dull.

Still, I love the Lindberg's rendering of MiG-19... and Soviet "Warhawk" - quite inspiring, isn't it 😉

The Warhawk is unbelievable! It looks nothing like the real aircraft. I'd love to see the model.

That Airfix B-29 re-mastered cover art is an affront to the Royal Cross original.

I've just Googled it Ben and it doesn't great, but not as bad as I thought it would. I think I'll save my 15 euro. 😉
I agree Mark (incidentally, the predictive text has change Roy to Royal).
I didn't notice that Martin. 😄
