Great work!

Łukasz Gliński
My first encounter with Kelik's 3D decals didn't look very promising at the start.
But the final result (using the PVA glue) turned out better than expected.
Take a closer look at the ejection handle - it's printed on both sides! (I put it back to front of the cockpit)
I can only highly recommend this stuff 👍 And didn't even use the whole set 😄

Maciej Bellos
Watching!!!

Nice! That ejection handle is something esle, I like that a lot.

Cuajete
A very nice decoration, Łukasz!
I also plan to do the same using Syhart decals, better than those included in Revell. And the special set for this decoration of MRP paint cans (MRP-207).
If you can find them I recommend them.

Very nice cockpit 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Thank you and welcome everyone!
@Cuajete: I already have a BilModel paint bought a loooong time ago. If you have Syhart decal (I assume it's the same as Revell's one is printed by them) you need only the brighter orange of the two included in MRP set. The darker one is for those who want to spray the lion themselves.

Raphael Bolle
also following, very nice work

Łukasz, Shyhart decals are not the same as Revell decals. Shyhart decals reproduce the color effect of this decoration better than Revell decals. I was going to use the decals from the Revell kit, but I was able to get the Shyhart one at a good price (I had already gotten the paints from MRP before). If you don't have Shyhart decals, Revell decals are not that bad. I don't know BilModel's paintings. I'm curious to see the result 👍

In any case I'm sure you'll do a great job as always, 😉

Łukasz Gliński
I have to admit I'm surprised a lot, I thought they're the same 😮 Good to know, thx
I have only a single bottle of BilModel paint and yes that's the demo orange - seems to be a lacquer luckily (tested using various thinners), so it should work well, fingers crossed.

Cuajete
Perfect, Łukasz! 👌
No, it's not the same. I was looking for the review where I saw a comparison between both decals, but I can't find it.
I'm looking forward to seeing the result of that demo 🙂

Jan Peters
Somehow I've missed this 👀
Dutch F16 means following for sure!

Cuajete
Primer looking good, Łukasz 👍
What happened to the inlet?

Nicolas
Following, looks good so far.

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome Jan & Nicolas
El está aquí, amigo! (see pic #6)
But the fit was terrible 😄

Cuajete
Thanks, Łukasz. I can see know perfectly 😄

Clement
Nice work. I see that you and I have the same issues with the kit.
The fit on the exhaust isn't great either, you should consider attaching it while you can still fill and sand.

Modelbouw Dordrecht. One of the last surviving brick and mortar stores. And a very nice one too!

Alexander Grivonev
I waited for someone to notice actually 😄 I was on vacation in NL last year and you know what? Spent actually a night in Dordrecht but didn't even bother to check for model shops...

Alexander Grivonev
Bought the kit on eBay couple of years ago

Spanjaard
i was there actually a few months ago. i was just walking in the city and found it, i could not resist entering and buying some stuff, very nice shop! and now, let see the masterclass in car modelling. lovely work on that seat, love the blue trim 🙂

MS K
I took my seat. 😎

Byron
amazing ideas for the seat piping, headrest and seatbelt loop, if you don't mind I'll steal them.
Amazing work sofar.
Keep that Alpina collection growing, I'm at 12 now 😄

Alexander Grivonev
Welcome boys, welcome.

Byron, we don't steal around here, we *get inspired*

Michael Kohl
Be Am Troubleyou. Looks like fun - to watch. 😉

Alexander Grivonev
More like "Revel in agony"

Considering the manufacturer, that headlight cover actually fits pretty well. Ever tried a 962C? There's some ill fitting headlights.

Alexander Grivonev
Maybe I am just spoiled by Tamiya to be fair

yngvenett
Following this to learn. I would like to know what cord you're using on the beautiful seats. Inspiring to see what you're doing with them. Also how will you be able to make it look like fabric on them?

Alexander Grivonev
Hi yngvenett, the cord is just blue isolated wire, the thinnest I had in my stash. I think this one is 0,25mm buth there are thinner ones you can buy. For the seats, just keep an eye open, will post updates the next days 👍

CasModeler
Hey. Interesting idea with that blue upholstery. I'll share with you a tip that I recently tested. For better reproduction of fabric seats, you can try adding 10-15% Mr Color C188(Flat Base Rough) paint to the blue paint. The rough surface will enhance the matte and the seats will be more realistic. Of course, I mean only those parts on the seats that are blue in color. Regards.

Alexander Grivonev
Hey Cas, yeah something of this kind was my idea too. Just making the surface extra flat will get you a nice "fuzzy" texture

Martin Oostrom
Apply some thinned mr surfacer and tap with the tip of a brush can give a rougher texture as well.

Or, just paint the cat's tongue, and match the effect on your model? 😛

CasModeler
You did the seats very well!
