Hi Marius! Thank you!
The kit is nice. Reminded me of an early nineties Italeri kit if I can say so. Engravings are a little bit shallow, more a short run kit but at any case buildable. Nice cockpit with 2 types of seats made of resin provided (at the end of their time in the Luftwaffe a Martin Baker seat was used). Fit was good, just a gap between fuselage and wings required some attention. The camera windows required some putty and sanding to make them blending into the fuselage. I tried to recover the glass shine by applying some AK Gauzy inside and outside. But some humidity from cleaning the model before painting came inside the fuselage, reacted with the Gauzy and the transparency was gone - my fault. So I painted them black in the end. Nice decals. In the end a very enjoyable build and the best way for a 72 scale RF-84 I think.

Thank you for the detailed answer!
I was thinking in the past of buying this resin kit, which had many positive reviews:
Republic RF-84F Thunderflash (PJ Production 721023, 1:72)
but for almost 40€ I thought it's a bit too pricy and I was looking for a classic injection kit. I might taken the Sword kit in consideration mabye.

Thank you Mirko! You are right, the RF-84 is not seen as a finished model very frequenttly. Even if you consider the widespread use of this recce plane. Lots of of nice schemes to choose from like Belgian, Greek, Dutch, U.S. of course...

Thank you Neil!
@ Oleg: I used small strips of beige colored decal. Available here: tl-modellbau.de/Streifen-schmal_1
I have cut them smaller by using a fresh scalpel blade.
Would be good to have a source for pink strips which could be used for Russian planes´ cockpit sealings.

While looking at your photos I was also asking myself how you make the canopies so perfectly. The beige decal strips are a great solution. Beautiful results.

Thanks guys for bringing the RF-84 up again 😀 Glad you like it!
Regarding the decal strips: sometimes I have my moments and things work well 😄 as planned! Took a long time to find such kind of colored decal. Dirty pink stripes would be good as well for Russian planes…

My friends. I am really happy to have you around as I was sincerely hoping that this build will arouse the interest of the three of you.
Maciej, are you referring to the kits decals or the ones from RSmodelle. Concering the latter, I cannot tell you, as I have not received them yet.

I have the kit, courtesy of Robert.
I was referring to the BSModele decals, as masking the scheme was really challenging and, ehm, painful!

Here us the link to the decals at their homepage:

Looking at them, I am afraid some decent masking is still ahead of me.

Taking a seat. The Iskra is a sexy plane, no idea why the Delfin won that contract. Let me guess. Political elimination? Regardless, looking forward to watching this develop.

Funny. Just the evening before your comment, Isaac, I dusted them planes and finished the cockpits. Let's move on.

Took them out of the shelf another time. Quite a bit of sanding had to be done. Particular the inner rear area of the wing where the box of the intakes tapers towards the trailing edge of the wing is much to thick in the kit. A bit of elbow grease was required there.
A fresh comparison with a machine in flight revealed some more issues I adressed. So, some more filling and sanding. Now I gotta wait till my trusted Mr. Hobby primer sets properly.

At least all the preflight checks will be done with German pilots 🤣 just keep them away from Starfighter be ok 😁.
Looking good nice fun project... Cockpit is great,
I use "Nail liner brushes" for cockpit n detail work... there used in beauty parlours for Painting pictures on nails.... There quite cheap and much more accurate than most fine paint brushes out there. 6 or 7mm best.
Good luck with next steps 😃👍

Hi Mr D and Alec K. Welcome.
@Alec: I deliberately take loooong brakes with this project so thay even the slowest out there can catch up 😉
@Mr D: I will look out for them nail liner brusher and see if they might serve my needs. I have tons of brushes but 90% of my hand painting is done with Winsor & Newton No. 7 Size 2. Hurts when you buy them, but they are of an incredible quality.

The main filling and sanding job done on one of the birds. A handful of details will be added before the final prepaint sanding. The canopy needs some work too. The frame of it is too coarse and will be sanded (almost) flush. Apart from that are there fit issues at the windshield that need to be addressed.

Unlike the previous Bburago, these items do not look like kits and could be moved to diecastmates I think.
Ferrari Daytona SP3 (Bburago BU16912R, 1:18)
2019 Ford Ranger (Bburago , 1:72)
McLaren MCL60 (Bburago BC38087P, 1:43)

I would say, that Item 25083 (Bburago GranTurismo 2008), could be moved to the diecastmates.
In my opinion, a lot of Bburago models could be moved...

That totally makes sense. However, I still think some Bburago items match the diecast much more and do not look like a kit.

Interesting subject! I had thought the kikka was almost a direct copy of the Me-262, kind of like the shusui/Me-163 but I see that's not the case. How is the kit? Looks good on the sprues at least.

It's a beautifully molded kit. Very fine detail. Fit is okay, except for the wings to fuselage, but nothing too concerning. There are a couple of sink marks though, which forces me to look foor other main wheels. The Kikka used Zero wheels so that's an easy fix. All in all I like the kit a lot, it looks delicate and to scale, unlike Airfix for example. I already built their A7M1 Reppu, so with the Kikka as a subject I didn't think too long when I came across this one.

. SDR Piloten Christof Motti, painted him up, and slapped him in, basically just the stock pilot, with the Super Jerry blind cockpit gear, added cables, may have to sand his butt down, as you can't see much of the poor swine, when he's sealed in his walking coffin. That'll do for today.
