Thanks, Peter, here in China it's a question of availability, Tamiya is usually the easiest to obtain. Looking forward to seeing the finished Diablo, good luck with the doors.

Oleg, I understand now. I think that is basically the same kit with different boxart and instructions because mine has about 30% parts not used including the long nose on the Dominator.

The UAV version hasn't got any clear windows included
Was a bit tricky to build at times but fun.
Will be nice to see a GA version build. Thinking of getting that one as well.

Looks like a challenging kit with lots of small pieces and lots of flash.
It looks like the 'cooling fins' are suppose to be mounted from the inside of the nacelle, not on top…

Gordon. I just checked and you are absolutely correct. I will try to remove it and insert the relevant part from above. I need yo figure out a way to remove a glued on part that has been primed with minimal damage. What an idiotic thing to do.

I find working tamiya extra thin into the joint allows it to be loosened up and pulled apart.
2 September, 13:21
![](/profiles/img/141169-186-s.jpg)
Ben, thank you for your suggestion. I will try that! Otherwise I will be deploying a razor saw and putty 😀
3 September, 06:37
![](/profiles/img/141169-186-s.jpg)
Ben M, I managed to loosen them with Tamiya Extra Thin and pop them off as you suggested. I will now cut them out and glue them in correctly from above. More sanding and filling

As I am covid positive (fortunately only with very mild syntomas) I had some time to build again today. So far I am positively surprised by the accuracy of fit. There are no locator pins, but I can now click the fuselage and cockpit together and even the tail section holds without glue.

Today I started installing the controls. Doing so I noticed, the collectiv controls are missinh in the kit. So I started scratchbuilding them after photos. Also fabricated and installed blinds for the paxes.

Welcome Łukasz, there is no reason to be afraid. The fit seams quite good, and the missing details is somthin one can improve. 😉

Done some nice improvements Nicolas... Be worth it, it's good to do this as puts a nice personal touch on it, l need to pick up some card like you have used ( what is it l need to look for ?)
The 2 Revell models l built ...l found the decals took a bit more softening than others models l have done!? the decals said made in Italy....no company name.
Looking good 👍 be nice bright unusual one this 😁

Hallo Mr D and thanks.
You can look for plastic sheets and profiles (tubes, chanels, I-beams, etc,) from various manufacturers like AK or Evergreen or use packing material eg. most blisterpacks. 😉
9 August, 05:02
![](/profiles/img/141759-133-s.png)
Hi Nicolas, doing a good job on the extra detail bits.
Be worth it, you only get to build it once...so worth getting it how you want it.
Nice 👍👍👍

This really is a trip into history. I wish you well with your work on the model. And I'll be happy to follow the progress.
The drop tanks used on the Mig you are building are the original (older) version. They were attached directly to the wing (no hinge) and did not have stabilizing ailerons on the end. This type of tanks had one unpleasant feature. When dropping the empty tank, the tank rolled on the wing. This was annoying because it could damage the control surfaces. Therefore, these tanks were replaced by a new type with stabilizing surfaces at the end of the tank and these tanks were suspended on a wing hanger (tanks of this type are in the kit). This solution eliminated the rolling problem.
27 July, 09:16
![](/profiles/img/43210-278-s.jpg)
Ludvik, thank you for the details. I did not know that. I imagine they usually did not drop the tanks on trainers.
I also masked the canopy last night. The molding of the frames are a bit vague and lots of curves so it will require some cleanup after painting.
27 July, 12:12
![](/profiles/img/69549-898-s.jpg)
Ben, you're right that trainer planes didn't usually drop tanks. In peacetime, in normal use, even combat aircraft don't drop tanks (except in emergency situations or exercises).
The purpose of my comment was merely to explain why the tanks on Indonesian aircraft differ from those in the kit.
I look forward to following your progress and wish you a lot of fun building the model and the result to your liking.

Well the other night I got frustrated with the Vallejo gloss black primer clogging my airbrush, so I added some Mr leveling thinner and gave it the worst orange peel ever as this is totally incompatible with the paint. I thought I could selectively strip the paint with windex but while that kind of stripped the paint it also dissolved a lot of the perfect plastic putty and also dissolved the canopy pva glue and masking. Also I broke off a wing and a horizontal stabilizer. So a bit of a setback.
I have constant problems getting the Vallejo gloss black primer to not clog my 0.4mm nozzle.
18 August, 01:28
![](/profiles/img/138076-707-s.jpg)
It's sad, Ben. These Vallejo primers can only be diluted with distilled water because they are based on acrylic urethane (this is my IMHO). Even Vallejo's Thinner and Flow Improver for acrylic paints does not go well with these primers. The same applies to their polyurethane varnishes.
18 August, 06:35
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
Not saying this will solve your issue, but they have a video with ratios out: Youtube Video

18 August, 06:50
![](/profiles/img/49481-557-s.jpg)
Wow that video seam to show it's a lot of hard work to get their primer coat working 👀
I'd go with mr surfacer 1500 approx 50:50 with mr levelling thinner, then if you need a gloss use mr Color gx110 again 50:50 with levelling thinner, sounds just as complex but I've never had this block airbrush and you can get rid of surface issue before you gloss saving the thicker gloss primer obscuring details..
Good luck on you build

Very sad nwes mate - hope to see you back on this project with the new kit, this one looks fubar unfortunately.
18 August, 09:01
![](/profiles/img/43210-278-s.jpg)
Painted some detail parts. Unlike the Vallejo primer, the metallics shoot like a dream. Started reassembly. I will have to re-putty and this kit needs a lot of putty. The canopy is a goopy fogged mess, I'm going to soak it in degreaser to hopefully strip off the future and start over on it.
18 August, 14:36
![](/profiles/img/69549-898-s.jpg)
The accident on your project is really unpleasant. I wish you a steady hand and a lot of patience in dealing with the aftermath.

Coming along nicely now though it seems.. 👍

I used the good wether today to work on the smaler parts for the Fallout diorama again. The most figures don't fit OOB, so are modified or combinations from different figures from the (up to now 4) figure sets.
20 July, 18:28
![](/profiles/img/25743-467-s.jpg)
Today I started assembling the next 3 figures, including one complete scratch build. I've never done that before, so I'm exited if it works at all.
27 July, 19:16
![](/profiles/img/25743-467-s.jpg)
Today I fitted the Rider to the motorcycle. The other figures just recived a little bit of putty.
28 July, 18:14
![](/profiles/img/25743-467-s.jpg)
I fixed the figures to corks and primed them with Revell 008 Black. Now I can see some small mistakes wich require some attention. The camera dosn't show that to well.

Hi Erik and Shar, welcome.
@Shar: At the moment I'm thinking about adding 2 more albums, one for infrastructure & buildings and one for the base witch would than include the entire project. For me, this makes the most sense, as I also proceed in the same way when building. The finished figures then go into the display case until I need them in the building or on vehicles, which are then back in the display case until the base is finished. As I use the albums here to keep an overview over the project I find everything faster.
4 August, 10:56
![](/profiles/img/25743-467-s.jpg)
In the last week I reworked the seams & the details (1 or 2 figures a day) primed it yesterday Black (Revell Emaile 08) and added some White (Revell 04) ftom above to help with shadows & light.
11 August, 07:06

I worked today for nearly 5 h on basic painting of the clothes. As I will probably not use the girl with the crossbow I want to try some things here, but wasn't motivated in the end. Next weekend I want to start with the skin.
11 August, 18:28
![](/profiles/img/25743-467-s.jpg)
I started working on the skin this weekend. Due to the dark base the coverage is bad. So I decided that final skin painting has to wait at least a week till the paint is dry enough for the next layer without working to much in the first one (I'm using oils here).
18 August, 18:53
![](/profiles/img/25743-467-s.jpg)
The last week I did basic painting for the metallic surfaces like weapons, buckles or metal armor.

Don't expect too much - this is part of a small group build among friends 🙂
The kit is very nice with finer details than the Roden offer. The Roden kit has however the option to show the engine.

Correct! The power of open source 👍
Due to various reasons I am again progressing only slowly. In the meantime I have tested the masks and have done the re-sizing to match the Swiss specification 🙂
.. and the Fokker has also received the first coat of the final green

You are welcome, Christian! .. and thanks to Neil and bughunter for the "thumps up"
Progress is slow - paint job is finished (except propeller) and the upper wing is being added now.
Struggle a bit though with the double wiring to the upper wing.

Looks great! Can I ask where you got that stand? I bought an MDF one but it's a bit warped and I think something like the one you are using would be much better.

Many thanks! I am behind with posting pictures - she is basically finished, only the prop is yet to be done ...
@Landlubber: this is a jig from Vertigo: EVO BI 7248 (Vertigo Miniatures VMP006, No)
.. I would never have finished it without this jig
22 March, 22:37

managed to do some new fotos - and also to break the landing gear.
I guess I will re-do the prop, not happy with it.

Guy, Zbynek, Alec: Many thanks for your kind comments and many thanks for all who liked this!
Declaring this finished now although I am still not really happy with the 4th try on the propeller but it's time to to give up and move on to the next project.
