...don't you have this kit in your own stash as well? 😜

Christoph Kunz
Indeed, he has...

Trez Mackenzie
Thanks for looking! But I've only just started back after 2 or 3 decades away so I'm still on 1/72 kits! So how about one of you guys get building it instead of diverting the blame 🤫😉😝

Sebastian Meyner
I'm sure the other 300 guys just got back into the hobby as well... so nobody needs to call anybody pathetic here.

@Christoph Kunz: "getroffene Hunde bellen..." 😉

Trez Mackenzie
I didn't call anyone pathetic - so no need to twist my words like a viper.

You seem to be some kind of psychic as you know the situation of 300 other minds. I think you should use this 'power' to get building this kit. Me and Christoph are waiting!

@Christoph Kunz: " Morgen, morgen, nur nicht heute, sagen alle faulen leute"

Christoph Kunz
Oh, I'm not waiting for anyone, I'm just waiting for tomorrow.

I suppose it is possible, like what I sometime do, I can't be bothered making a 'on order' label, going straight to 'stash' around the time I know I'll order something.

Looks good so far! I think the Tamiya colors look fine!

Cristian A
Thanks Michael for the input, the more I look at the two Tamiya colors the more inclined I get to use them, also I already have them and they are of good quality.

Will continue to post progress.

Looks good so far. Following.
How good and detailed do you think the kit is?

Cristian A
Hi Shar, the details are good enough for a 16 EUR kit but the build is not easy, struggled a lot with the canopy and cockpit. It's not a perfect representation of the real Alligator as it is built after the initial variant / prototype (EOP above, no camouflage scheme and paint references for it, no countermeasure system under the back landing gear and the nose is a bit different as well). The panel lines are recessed, so hopefully weathering will go smooth.

Shar Dipree
Thanks Cristian. I wish you success.

Cristian A
Thanks Shar, I wish you the same.

That color looks awesome!

Cristian A
Yes it does!!

Thanks a lot for encouraging me to use it. I was very close to buying this entire paint set instead:

HTK-CS86 Russian AF Helicopt.. 1, Hataka Hobby Orange Line , Acrylic Lacquer, 8x 17ml

Shar Dipree
Looks great so far.
What kind of mixing ratio did you use for the ak paint?

Hi Shar, around 40% paint + 60% thinner. I measure it in pipette drops - example 4 drops of paint, 6 drops of thinner.
