I'm confused. The kit mentions that it comes with waterslide decals or are you commenting on the kit you own?

Of course it does. The kit was an open box when I received it, with no decals in the box. That note is for me, it's in my stash and not up for sale.

I mention it because you've posted the comment so that everyone who looks at this kit will think it doesn't come with any decals. The comment section isn't intended for everyone to keep track of the kits in their stash, it's for general comments about the kit that they would like to share with other members of the site with an interest in that particular kit.

there is a field for personal comments, where you can enter this kind of in information, and that it will be only visible for you. go to stash, and then to state, and that is the place to enter your own (personal) comments.

And I thought starting my third such kit from KP/RV Aircraft is self torture. The truth is, once you had finished one of them in the past, the frustration decreases with each new one.
Any idea how you will treat the taxiing lights?

Marius, I honestly don't think this kit is so terrible. There are some fit issues for sure, but I have built much worse kits. I constantly keep reminding myself that I only do this for relaxation and fun, and not for a competition or as a profession.
Are you referring to the swiveling landing lights underneath the intakes?

Thomas, I share your opinion about the kit and hobby too actually. The kit is dreadful in a few areas, but overall more than decent. I finished two of these already and I must say, they really stand out my collection, despite the kit's reputation.
Yes, I was refering to those lights. If I remember it correctly, there are some transparent parts included in the kit, but the intakes are completely flat, where the lights should go. I made the mistake to install those lights in the closed position, instead of the more interesting setup, when they are deployed downwards. In any case, it's just a heads up, in case you might want to add some extra detailing.

Yes, I see your point regarding those lights, but I will probably just stick to my usual middle road - easy to accomplish and still produces a cool result. 🙂

Martin, I saw your MiG-23 project - it is way more ambitious than mine! I am not so meticulous, just very, very slow, only having an hour or two to spend here and there.

A bit of a setback here. I just realized that I had foolishly been following the assembly drawings and thus ended up with the wings upside down. Bottom side up and vice versa. It may not be something that is easily noticeable, but knowing myself, I would never be able to unsee it now. So I am backtracking my steps and need to change the way the wings are facing without ruining the fuselage. Mamma mia, what a noob mistake-a to make-a.

I'm in! I'm also working on KP's MiG-23 and had the same issues with fitting and wings. Damn I didn't notice that the wings are upside down...

Thank you gentlemen for your encouraging words! 🙂 The twin seater assembly is done, and now I need to finish the single seater. I am now thinking about which individual aircraft to represent and which camo to use.

Hi Thomas, nice progress. I think the Tamiya paints are my favourite so far. They apply well and they don't smell so strongly.

Cristian, yes, they are mine too. They also react superbly well to the Mr Color Leveling thinner and level out to perfection. Too bad that the color range is a bit narrow, you need to mix almost everything.

Thanks for the tip Thomas, I recently discovered Tamiya paints. The hobby shop seller recommended "Aqueous Hobby Color Thinner" and using that works well also.

Damit, ran out of white paint.... I decided to also order the Mr Paint Hungarian set to see if they are any good.

If l cut an item of the spru and it has a possibility of mix up, l up a little bit of making tape with part number on it to label it up, l do this as made this mistake before with wheel bay doors !! " Wanded when so much sanding needed!" 😆.
Every build has it's niggle...once it's been on shelf a month...soon forget, good work

Mr D, yes, it's a good tip. But it doesn't help when the assembly drawing is wrong! The best is to constantly keep referring to real photos - sometimes even apex companies, such as Tamiya, Special Hobby or Eduard make silly mistakes.

The masking of the standard single seater is a pretty relaxing task, but Iván The Terrible (no 20), with its blotchy, multi-color camo is proving a real challenge. I am trying to add the colors in the order as they were applied on the real aircraft to make the pattern realistic, but man, it is tricky!

Hey Thomas I wonder how you got the camo masking so clean, mind sharing some insights?
