A kit in my stash I have been meaning to build. Watching with great interest for paint tips. 👍

Welcome mates!
@rui: it's a nice kit in almost good quality.
There are only a few corrections on the joints of the wing necessary
Eduard offers a small pe set for the cockpit, which is a very good addition
Atention: the turbine outlet is left open inside, so you can see inside the model!
a big mistake that I unfortunately forgot to correct🤯
But i don't really mind because it's just a quick build, the plan is to focus on the painting

Thanks mates!
This is just the result after the basic painting, there are still decals to follow and some weathering to do.

it's done ... finally!
after a good start some problems arise.
every now and then i didn't know exactly how to go on .. and then the problems with the decals.
By the way- thanks alex, guy and all others for your comments and likes😄

Very nice job, mate. 👍
Camo looks so nicely faded or just dirty. 😄

This result is more than good, I think this has proven that you can handle planes right.

Thanks Chan
However, I had to think about how to continue at or after each step.
Since I usually deal with vehicles and have therefore acquired certain procedures for this, i was often not sure how or whether I could transfer them to this topic.
It was never quite clear to me how to lay out the weathering.
How much is necessary or is already too much.
You can see a lot of great planes here and they all have a certain style, I just never knew how to "capture" it.
I am quite critical of whether my vehicle skills can be applied to aviation.
I have the feeling that I have to get a different procedure for airplanes 🙂

@Simon, man you've got that right. You are just like a top Brazilian soccer player with full of skills, and now you've transferred to European league you just need to get used to the new system.
I feel the same and I stopped to build more vehicles cuz I saw a lot great results here and I start to think the things I did on my vehicles were not right.
I might build another tank later, after some a certain step I hope I can consult you too.

@Den: Thx! That's why such aforum also there: you try to help others and also very good to find help!
@Al: Thanks for your comment!
@Chan: For sure mate, we can help us together!
And immersing yourself in other areas only expands your own abilities, even if it doesn't always work right away.
Ps.: I don`t play soccer at all🤣

I think Chan's comment nailed it. You just have to tweak your techniques to the new subject.

I can't believe that's 1/72, the detail in the paintwork made me guess a much larger scale

Album info
A quite good kit but some improvements need to be done.
The pe set from Eduard is a must have, because the cockpit need some more details.
The outlets of the turbines should also be repaired because they are open at the bottom and you can see inside the body.
This is a fact i've forgot to correct.
The figure is from a Zvezda set.
Otherwise everything should fit, good engravings and the assembly was without major problems.
However, it was my first kit where I had extreme problems with the decals.
these did not adhere properly to the surface and also seemed a bit too thick to me.
