JohnFantastic build and presentation Mark. 👍 I love the display base with the mottled/splinter colors of each aircraft too. I'm still sticking with Tamiya paints though... 😉

Mark SherwoodThanks John. I've got say even though I've just become a Fanboy of AKRC there's still a place in my heart for Tamiya Paints, they were a vast improvement over the Humbrol tinnies back in the mid to late seventies as where the kits over Airfix. 🤘🥸🤟

JohnI may give the AKRC a try. I'm just used to how the Tamiya paints behave, dilutions that work for my airbrush, etc. If I understand correctly, the AKRC paints are also acrylic lacquers like Tamiya and Mr. Hobby so they should work with the same thinners and such. They do have a good color range compared to Tamiya for sure.

Mark SherwoodYep. You're right John, lacquer based acrylics, as far as I can tell same formula different bottles. I did have some reservations about RLM02 1938 wether it was the right colour though. I used AK's thinners. I'd test on some plastic card with X-20 and Mr Hobby thinners to see how they behave, which I haven't done yet just ploughed on through with appropriate thinners to get the project over the line. Having said that I would still use Tamiya paints. I just got seduced by AK3G and like most affairs it did not work out well. On that note Atom and any new acrylic will be kicked into touch.🤣👍🥸🤘🥸🤟🤣

Mark SherwoodThank you James and Rui S. Rui with my temperament installing electrics (I have problems with the 3 phase at work!) It's enough just to get them built and painted 🤣 and if you mean those discs, I was never a fan. 🤘🥸🤟

Album info
Tamiya's 1.48 Scale Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-3 and Focke Wulf Fw 190 A-3. Pleasurable build as you would expect from Tamiya, except when trying to fit the landing gear in flight mode and I've now become a Fan Boy of AK Real Colours.
