I have just ordered this myself. Your model looks brilliant. I hope to do half as good a job as you have done.

The uglier the plane, the more interesting they turn out. Fantastic work.

Thanks everyone. Indeed it's one of those "so ugly it's beautiful" subjects. It certainly has presence on the shelf.

Gorgeous kit. Air craft is a proper chunky boy, I love it. Excellent work. Think this may be a bit too hard for me but it looks awesome.

Thanks Guy and Paul... yes the kit is excellent but quite fiddley, not difficult per se, just a lot of delicate subassemblies that require patience and stamina. Do it!

Beautiful work! Airfix should pay you to put it in their marketing materials! This is about as good as an advertisement for the kit as any!

Ah, the box of paints confused me. Good to know about the cockpit. Did you consider the Zvezda kit? Was the trumpeter better?

I read that both kit had their pros and cons, but both are a good base, I quote : "the Mig-29 Zvezda is the most accurate in terms of reproduction of shapes while the Trumpeter model offers a more complete engraving and more details overall but has some small errors in shape."

petite question: j'ai un set similaire de peinture "water base" Hataka pour le camouflage 3 tons du Su 34, avec quel additif/liquide l'avez vous diluer ?
les feutres W.N utilisés pour les effets d'hydrocarbures du moteur sur la photo 49 donne un résultat spectaculaire (même si il y a certainement du métier dans l'application aussi) quelles teinte suggérer vous ?

Salut Juskifo, les teintes Hataka ont été diluées au X-20 Tamiya. Les feutres W.N et Faber Castell utilisés sont les suivants : Terre d'ombre naturelle, Cold Grey 233, green gold 268, raw umber 180, walnut brown 177. Les deux marques proposent des dizaines de teintes qui peuvent s'adapter à tous les besoins, il faut aller voir en magasins d'art et tester les teintes qui peuvent convenir au projet ou à l'effet recherché. La patine aux feutres doit s'effectuer sur une base satinée, les coulures peuvent être tirés ou fondu avec des pinceaux légèrement imbibés d'eau.

I'm glad to see, that it's not just me, who does all this type of prep work. I've spent far too much time and money, on tools, gizmo's and fabrication of various things, just to try and speed up this process. Yet, I still end up falling back to the back of a #11 knife blade!
I'll hang around for this one mate, mainly to see the outcome of those amazing decals. But also to watch how the trailer goes together?
I helped my son build the Spacecab, way back in the early 2000's. He didn't enjoy it and abandoned his efforts 🙁 No wonder he became a plumber 😛

Kerry Cox taught Peter Hardy and Peter taught me: "Better remove those lines, you'll always know they're there."
I mostly use the cutting edge of the blade to scrape, I'll try the back sometime.
I assembled the chassis today and it seems perfectly straight. A lot of work remains before I can start on the decals.

If you draw the edge, of the back of the blade, it gives you a nice smooth, flat surface. It also doesn't dull your sharp blade? After a while, it becomes second nature. I have found, that those nasty mold lines, show up even more, when paint is applied? Even when I glue two parts together, it's always the back of the knife, that deals with the seam. You should definitely try it, and see if you notice the difference.

I managed some work on the axles Tuesday evening and I had half a day to myself yesterday. So I built the box with a lot of added plastic to get everything squared. I'll be sanding the outside and I don't want the thing to fold.
The mudflaps were unconvincing , so I went to town on them. Your opinions please?

I've heard of guys, filling in reefers, with expanding foam?
I've never personally done it, because I like the option of opening doors. Those mudflaps look so much better now, too.

Mmm, insulation foam in a reefer….
There is/was a load of cyanide in that stuff. Not something I want to emit in my hobby room.
My 2k also contains cyanide, but those vapours are mainly vented outside

I have never checked mate, and I've used it for sealing gaps, etc, for decades? However, I've definitely not used it on any models. In fairness though, all my current reefers are from AMT. I love the fact that they use 1 piece plastic, for the sides, base and top. It definitely makes them sturdy. I do have a few Italeri reefers though, and I was thinking about lining them with thin plastic? I don't want to compromise the look, so I thought maybe some 1mm sheet, would work? What do you think mate?

Lining with 1mm sheet is a possibility, but … see my new picture. On both sides there are two half rods running the whole length of the trailer and the ceiling is littered with protruding ejection marks.
The floor is smooth as the ejection marks are on the underside.
This Revell edition has water slide decals, the Italeri reefer I have has two big stickers for each side. Will be hell to line up, so I'll probably paint something.

On large decals, it's best to cut them into 3. It just makes things easier. I honestly wouldn't have a clue what to do with stickers though? That's exactly what I have, on my Smokey and the Bandit 2 trailer.
Which reminds me...
Jerry from Modeltruckin, is retiring. Last orders are being taken upto end of July. Get them decals ordered mate, before you can't get them again!

I just took a closer look at your pictures. I see those rails now. I'm guessing that they were a feature, to stop pallets from ramming up tight to the side, on the 1:1 version? The injection pin marks, I can Dremel away. You've actually got me thinking about digging out one of my reefers now, lol

In the real one, there will be a strip with slits to secure the cargo. But those are generally not that high and low. See picture.

Dry fitting the door showed a small gap between them. I later added a strip of styrene to the back. Stiffening the doors by accident.
I removed the moulded rear lights, only realising too late that they're hollow. A thin sheet of styrene helped. I also glued a strip to the storage bins. Too much sanding otherwise. Now all trailer parts are ready for painting.

Lol, maybe because it's more true to life?
Although I have to admit, I've crawled under a few trailers, and they were all the same, light rust/brown colour. Even on fleet management, the chassis and underneath, never get washed. I do a lot of work for a global logistics company and their trucks always look clean, but they're not. My brother works for a national retailer, driving big rigs. I asked him when he washes the underside of his trailer? His answer was priceless, but unfortunately, unprintable 😉

I actually had red oxide primer in mind for the red parts, but didn't at the last moment!
I also never wash the underside of my car. And I've worked in port, so I can imagine some colourful language.
Done with airbrushing for now. Only some detail painting to do.
And after curing, it's decals time!

It's definitely worth a try? I can't bear to hear the screams, if the decals spray doesn't work.

God speed, my friend, and good luck 👍

As I can see - you're using Micro Sol solution. Have you tried Tamiya Super Strong in a black bottle (It should be used carefully and needs a bit of experience to use, but it softens decal very fast)? When I first used Mark Fit Super Strong, it was like a revelation to me 🙂 But I never used Micro Sol, so I don't know of how it works.

That truck is awesome Bozzer! Really enjoyed that video.
Only the starboard large decal left 🤞🏻
And then hoping that the clear coat won't do anything funny. I got two spray cans of Mr Top Coat gloss. According to the internet, that should do fine 🤞🏻
Hi Scheckter, I use a combination of micro sol and heat. Apply some Sol, let it work a little, press with a soft brush or que tip. Repeat a hundred times or more to get everything where I want it.
I'm careful with these old decals and extra hot decal softener.
