Hi admin, I appear to have an issue with my latest album - “Corsair” when I go to the album it only shows 2 images however there are in fact 3 which do appear if you ‘manage’ the album can you please help as it made me add the last image 3 time before I notice it was there sort of.
NB if this is the wrong place for help please let me know where I should add it, cheers

Hi Sy, Tim might not notice this here. If you post in scalemates.com/features.php you're probably more likely to get a response.

I've noticed that it sometimes takes a while for photos to appear on all pages. Usually, waiting a while sorts it.

Well that was a fun double build, I e not do such a thing before. The chance to test a few things out gave mixed results, I'm please with the removal of the raise rivets of the older Revell kit and its re scribing made easier with the Airfix to use as a guide.. #Łukasz the use of the Posca markers gave very mixed results, as you warned I did get some areas of paint lift but could work out why as most areas were fine. However I didn't really like the results as they looked too ridged, might have its place. On a point of interest is see AK are releasing brand new markers, which are actual paints of their Real Colors range so they, I assume, will not have any such issue of lift or compatibility. Seams I was a little quick in my use of the Posca pens 🙄
Kit comparisons
I have no idea which kit is more accurate in terms of shape etc I don't get caught up on such rivet counting details, I just enjoy the build and as long as they look the part that's good enough for me.
I had no issues with the fit although the Revell is designed to be on wheels despite having a pilot, which means if you build it wheels up there are gaps in the wheel doors.
The Airfix has a great design for their wheel well doors which means achieving the right sort of angle on them is straightforward, they are also nicely detailed.
Cockpit; the Revell has no detail and the the pilot was deform in the mask area (easily fixed) while the newer Airfix has some detail but the at this scale the visibility into the pit is such they are both visually the same.
Decals; both are good and in register the newer Airfix gives a lot more but I choose not us the many stencils as at this scale they can me more of a pain to apply than their worth. A note was the fact the Airfix require a slightly stronger setting solution than I expected to fully settle, no issue with the Revell
So the venerable 42 year old Revell stand up well to the young 2 year old Airfix, if you are willing to take the time to remove raised detail and rescrub your own panel lines (but then we are modellers and not assemblers 😎)
Painting
I think I prefer to black base rather than use pens to shadow, however the AK markers could be worth looking at.
Painting the ID stripes, as these were applied in the factory I don't think either method has the upper hand but if I do a D-day plane with field applied invasion stripes I'd do them over an underlying camo as that allows you to carefully wear them via light sanding.
Wow that's a lot of waffle in summary it's been great to try things out and be able to compare side by side. On to the next one.

Cheers all,
#Treehugger thanks for info, I just used the lights that came with the cabinet but they are plugged in via a plug controlled by Alexa so. Can just ask her to turn them on or off as and when. When is mainly if I have visitors 🤣.

Cheers all for the comments. This kit is interesting as while it not mentioned in the kits instructions the decal sheet does contain the markings for the vehicle in HM Elizabeth's picture! As it's not mentioned you have to take your own punt at the colours and construction versions but it's nice to have the decals 😎

Hi Sy , built this kit on SM not so long ago. I has issues with the fit of the from gun door and fragile decals. Must say you e done brilliantly with the mid fuselage band.. mine wouldn't fit and wrinkled everywhere, I managed to "persuade" the wrinkles to the underside.
I. Also have the Hase AND the old Esci/Italeri in the stash.
Great result by the way , what paint did you use,?

#David H I had problems with the decals too they were both brittle and thick 🤪 it took many applications of the strongest decal softener I had (Ultamate decal setting solution - Extra Strong) even then they only just went down. Can remember if there should have been a decal for the yellow nose but I never tried it and just painted it myself.
The metal paints where AK Interactive Xtreme metals, I know I used AK481 Polished Aluminium and the contrast colour I think was AK480 Dark Aluminium, I was pleased with the result. One word of warning if I was to do again I'd seal the Xtreme paint with a protective coat if I was to use enamel pin wash as the orderless thinner seam to lift the Xtreme paint, luckily I'd primed in grey so the effect luckily gave a weathered look and I finished the "pin wash" with Pro Modeller weathering was Dark Dirt.
Oh one more point just remembered the clear decal film appeared to be affected by the Xtreme paint and showed more than I'd have like so I will definitely try a clear gloss coat before decals and washes next time

#Kohl I do figures at times (see my Kübelwagen Type 82 album - Kübelwagen Type 82 | Album by Sybar (1:35)) [hope the link is ok to post - is there a correct or best way to link to another SCM album/post?]
But have distinct lack of WWI figures let alone desert WWI figures. But thanks for the kind remarks

Cheers folk for comments.
As for decals while they are only for the orange they are good decal nice n crisp do you could make your own from them as the small rear decal is the same as the front one and as they are black easy to use on clear decal paper no worries about needing a white. I look forward to seeing a green bond bug some time 😁
