That is a fun little kit

I think the colors should be two tones of green rather than green and brown.

Fauzan R.
Yes, the paint should be different than the usual RAF dark green and brown scheme

I found few faults of this kit for fitting and few minor mold misalignments, probably due to how old the mold is. But nonetheless, it is still fun and few fixes wouldn't hurt.

It looks like a quite nice kit. Your masks look perfect. The buffalo I built was the matchbox 1/72 kit which isn't the best, but I built it when I was kid, so I wanted to see if I could do better this time

Mr D
No shortage of masking to do on a Buffalo 🤣, Looking good 👍👍 doing nice job 👍

Fauzan R.
Thank you for the encouragement Ben and D

This an absolutely TERRIBLE kit! It looks like a Chinese (Mister Craft?) knock-off of the Tamiya kit, complete with diagrams that look like they've been copied from the Tamiya instructions. Unfortunately, they didn't copy the parts! The kit quality was horrible, very little detail, and what detail was there looked like it was scribed in with a chisel. Landing gear struts molded into the L.G. doors, a laughable ejection seat that looks NOTHING like the depiction in the instructions, and really crappy soft plastic with a really rough surface. Still, I got it for the livery (Starblazers) and decided to do it anyway. That is, until I started decaling and found the decals SO fragile, that they shattered as soon as I laid them down and tried to position them. The four wing panel decals each had several cracks running through them even before I started to cut them off the sheet. I'm going to try to find a better Starblazers decal sheet, but quite frankly, it's not worth wasting it on this kit. Mister Craft's F-84G has been consigned to the waste basket. I won't be purchasing any more kits from this Chinese P.o.S. manufacturer! I'll get another Tamiya kit instead!

Yes, indeed a terrible kit. The kit seems to be a copy of the very old FROG kit, and the molds are still used and re-issued by several POLISH brands , including Mistercraft, Big Model etc. with equally poor decals. The Tamiya kit is by far the best, but is sold out almost everywhere. The Academy/Italeri is also good but hard to find, The heller kit is obsolete too. Have a look at my album : Thunderjet comparative build : Thunderjet comparative build | Album by opadesmet (1:72)

I feel your pain. Out of the two Mister Craft kits that I have tried (a Harrier and a SU-20), both had horrible mismatch between the instructions and the parts that were actually included. The Harrier kit even had the wrong amount of pieces advertised on the box (over 30 pieces less than advertised). You really get what you pay for with this brand.

mister craft kits are a very mixed bag. Some of them , like the thunderjet, are poor copies of very old (50 years +) kits. Some are reissues of older KP kits , but their fouga magister is apparently a reboxing of the Heller kit with their decals. btw their decals are mostly of poor quality, inaccurate & incomplete. But if you have spare decals e.g. from a Special Hobby kit, some of their kits like the fouga, maybe a cheap alternative. Here at scalemates , you can always check the product timeline to find the ancestors of a kit, and a vendor like super hobby shows the content of the kit on their website so that you can know what to expect before buying.

Thank you

I forgot to put this in the ideas so it is starting "in progress".

Made a start with the cockpit and some weight in the nose, hopefully it's enough. 🙂

The Gnat had the canopy added, masked and then primer applied (light grey). I have painted the yellow with 3 coats of Vallejo Model Air Medium yellow and 2 coats of Hataka BS Golden Yellow. Next will be the tail. 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Sukhoi242. 👍

Guy Rump
Tail now painted black with yellow. 🙂

S M
Nice Yellowjack!👍

Mr D
Good to see the yellow on it, dose look good in the yellow.
Takes your time on the landing gear, can be little fiddly.
Good stuff 👌, thanks for uploading

Guy Rump
Sprayed with gloss varnish and then added the decals. Next will be adding the wheels and other ancillaries. 🙂

Many thanks for your kind comments SM and Mr D, they are greatly appreciated. @ Mr D, The front landing gear was very difficult to get off the sprue so I know what you mean. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes SM & Mr D. 👍

Now completed, this is a Folland Gnat from the Yellowjacks display team based at RAF Valley, Anglesey in 1964, a forerunner team of the Red Arrows. 🙂 The last photo is a picture of the actual aircraft.

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Duster_d, JK, Franck D, Joseph L & Alex R. 👍
