Chris T. AnWelcome Finn. Well, "luck" is not necessarily what you need with this kit, but thanks anyway. 😛 It is probably more patience. But as a model builder, you have to have that at best anyway.
3 January, 10:06
S BSehr cool! Ich bin dabei. So wie es aussieht, brauchst du starke Nerven und Durchhaltevermögen. Ich wünsche dir beides!!!! Das Modell gefällt mir bisher sehr gut und der Co-Pilot ist jetzt schon ein Held!

Fabrice TIMMERMANNice work. It makes me want to start the one I have in my statch.
1 10 January, 19:54
Chris T. AnThanks to everyone for being there. I have to vent my frustration about this kit now. I'm getting to the point where painting is next and it's hard to get a clean finish on the seams, especially the center seam of the two fuselage halves. I wouldn't have thought that (Revell) could still produce such a mess in the 21st century. The fit is worse than some kits from the sixties. I've already built a few Revell models, but I've never experienced anything so terrible. Even filling, sanding, priming, filling again and sanding doesn't help. Let's see what it looks like when the gray paint is on. In any case, I'm expecting a sobering result. I will therefore play around a bit with mottling so that the surface perhaps doesn't look quite so "monotonous" and conceals the problems. I hope that works.
13 January, 20:27
Thomas Haberl - TH SCALE MODELSTaking a seat - I agreed on a commission build for this one and unfortunately you are now confirming my thoughts about the fit when I put the fuselage together for the first time. I did not start yet and I´m a bit scared ... anything else besides the horrendous fit I should know?
1 14 January, 14:22
Erik De SmetMaybe you just got a poor kit, other modelers who built the same do not signal fitting problems, but the U/C seems to be too weak
14 January, 16:14
Chris T. AnThanks guys. To your questions:
@Thomas: I think the most important thing to pay attention to is to do all the work on the engine cowlings BEFORE mounting them on the wings. Especially detail painting and masking is difficult to do on the inner casings when they are already assembled. Well, and you can read everywhere that the wheels should be built with metal tubes instead of the thin plastic parts. Fortunately I'm spared that with the inflight version.
@Erik: It may well be that some people get good kits, but a lot of people seem to have the same problems. I've read about it in various forums (community.revell.de/viewtopic.php?t=10172 and britmodeller.com/for..us-a400m-revell-172/) and even in the German trade magazine "ModellFan" (April 2024 issue) the author/modeler mentioned problems. I'm probably just extremely unlucky.
1 15 January, 07:57
Thomas Haberl - TH SCALE MODELSThanks Chris! I will take that into account! With paint on it looks really good and worth the effort on the seams 👌

Michael KohlDull plane but nice build. Anxious what you make of it. Looking at your other stuff I have high expectations. But, no pressure, man, no pressure. 🙂

S MNice dedication on details! Is this a promotion for Red Bull or are their cans more suitable than others for this?
1 25 January, 23:04
AlexanderLooks amazing already! Very clean paint job on all things so far, following with great interest. 👍
1 26 January, 01:06
Chris T. AnNice if you like it. I'm currently trying to add a bit more variation to the rather monotonous surface color. Let's see how that turns out.
@SM: yes, Red Bull could actually contribute something. But that's because we simply don't have any other drinks cans in the house.
26 January, 08:35
Chris T. AnSo guys, now I need some ideas and tips from you: what's the best way to photograph this monster? I can't just stand it on the white photo cloth, the antennas on the underside will break. I'll probably have to come up with something and then retouch the aids in Photoshop. Any recommendations are welcome.
26 January, 20:35
GuidoIf you have an old poster, or some wall paper laying around, that could be your background - if you want a studio-like set-up.
And if you don't have a lighting set-up, you can place that background so that it faces the daylight.
Othewise you can go outside - not in bright sunlight, more when it's clouded or in the shades and pick a nice uncluthered background spot.
An example of that is in this album: Dassault Super Mystère B2 - NATO Tiger Meet 1977. | Album by guido.pm (1:72)
Whatever works for you - hope it gives you some inspiration. 😉
1 26 January, 21:28
Chris T. AnHey Guido, thanks for your suggestions and inspiration. I fear it will not be a matter of light and background. I have two photo lamps and photo cloths in light and dark. My problem is that I don't know how to position the model to take photos. There is no landing gear and the antennas are in danger of being damaged. I will probably need some kind of stand or hang the model somehow. Let's see.
27 January, 13:49
Thomas Haberl - TH SCALE MODELSLeave it on the Duplo rack - that has some kind of charm and will be considered in my build as well 😊 sorry that I don´t have any other input on the issues with taking pictures, but the Duplo rack is hot stuff 😍
1 27 January, 13:54
GuidoAh yes, I over looked that 🤦🏼♂️
Fishing wiring to temporary hang it?
How do you plan to display it later on then - which will give you some directions for photographing it?
1 27 January, 14:02
CuajeteHi, Chris. If you can't hang it somehow, maybe you can build a stand out of thick clear methacrylate to support the weight and dimensions of that Grizzly.
It turned out very nice. Fantastic result.
Congrats!
1 27 January, 19:15
Chris T. AnFirst of all, thank you very much for your participation and your tips. I now have the first photos in the box. I kept it simple and again placed 2 Duplo bricks under the wheel bulges so that the antennas are not damaged. It was just a bit more work to retouch everything in Photoshop. Otherwise, you have to be quite far away with the camera to capture the whole bird.
1 28 January, 10:59
Daniel HAbsolutely excellent looking bird, really enjoyed watching it come together. Beautiful work!
1 29 January, 16:21
Transall NGVery nice building ! About Revell's kit building accuracy, the problem seems to be in the choice of the place where molds are made : their Junkers Ju 290 is perfect, their C-54 is far worst than this A-400M. I have built both, and my comment is only about the ease of assembly, not about model's accuracy which is another rather common problem. Anyway, it is better to get such kits than nothing, but i agree with your overall impression.
Thanks for this big one.

23 January, 03:21
Desert MarlinI sanded the wing roots quite a bit. Looks like they went on okay. Should be minimal sanding with a little Surfacer to close any gaps.
23 January, 03:31
Mr DHi Desert 👋 looking good....see your getting good use of the scotch tape, Do you use super glue for wings on larger models? Or stick to stand cement?
Nice subject by the way 😁👍
1 23 January, 21:54
Desert MarlinThanks. I'm using standard Tamiya Extra Thin Cement. The quick Setting cement is not good for those joints. The regular cement, when given plenty of time to cure is pretty good. The fuselage joints have come out really strong. The wings are good when plenty of milling is done to make the joint very clean. Then the cement has a large surface area to cling to. So far, its all gone very well.
1 24 January, 00:38
Mr DThanks Desert👍 l get concerned sometimes on larger parts if the extra than is enough. Sounds like if you have good surface it will be ok.
Good luck with the build 😃👍
1 24 January, 11:31
JohnI'm with DM. I love the quick-setting but it's just not as strong. I also reinforced mine with some sprue "spars" but they had to be thinned down a little because the wings are quite skinny and would bulge otherwise.
2 24 January, 17:12
Desert MarlinThere are a ton of antennas on this bird. Sadly, the flaps fit very poorly so much cleanup is needed. All the other mods are roughed in and will clean up with primer and dressing...
26 January, 04:10
Desert MarlinWith the nose antenna mounted too low, I have had to see if I can remove them and reposition them higher to match the real aircraft...

Christian BruerSo far as I know there is no other Skyraider available in scale 144 than the F-Toys kit. The kit is pre painted and comes as a snap together kit. Details are quite nice with fine engraved panel lines. A few are missing, but that doesn't matter in that tiny scale. If you just want to have a model for display on your office desk it seems to be ok to assmble the kit out of box, but if you want to have it accurate and more detailed this is a good basis to do so.
I start repainting the cokcpit and assembled the fuselage halves. All seam lines were filled and sanded. Filling and sanding was required also along the wing and fuselage joints.
To present the Skyraider in a dynamic carrier landing szene I cut out the flaps and rudder and assembled both in angled position.
This all went on quite fast and so I was able to paint the model during the weekend.
Happy Modelling, Christian

23 November 2021, 14:04
Christian BruerThank you Łukasz, for you kind comment and for sharing this 🙂
Nah there were others before me with such deck sections etc. But it is a cool idea to design and produce such elements, especially for this scale. So everybody has the chance to use it as a display for his models, because not everybody has the skill and / or patience to make it by his own. I also think, that 3D printing will make more and more steps forward and it would be also great just to by the 3D data, maybe to modify by the designer, or your own, and then to print on your printer. Even better for everybody who want to step into 3D design and 3D printing by his own.
IMHO a big market for the future in different ways but with a great advantage for us model builders.

Christian BruerWIP on my USS Santee.
Today's progress on the sea base. Once I have maeked the contour of the ships waves I start grinding the contours using a round wire brush in a motor tool. It's a bit dusty, believe me, but it gives a good monitoring to create the contours.
Next step sanding using ssnding paper to breake the rough surface a little bit.
Upon disangaging myself from all the dust a first layer of wall paint was added to the surface in a stippling motion.
The stippling motion create a wavy irregular surface. But to get the final result some more layers are needed. It is important not to paint layers to thick to avoid cracking when the paint dries.
At last I cut off the raised contour marking the boot topping and added a new marking using a line marking tool.
Happy Modelling

2 January, 20:52
Christian BruerMeanwhile I seperated the AA gun tubs and the catwalks to replace the later with Eduard PE. The bulwarks on the gun tubs are thinned down repsectively replaced by 0,2mm styrene. At the moment I am working to cut of the doors along the catwalks and replace it with oval openings. The openings need to be cutted into the side wall and the plastic from the backside to be thinned out. Unfortunately I missed to do this before I added a lot of details to the flight deck. So carfully working is needed and to keep in mind for better planing next time 😄

BozzerI gotta admit, I really like that frame colour. Noted for the future!
When I checked out my kit, I noticed that the hood was in 2 pieces? We're there any issues with that? Like, did you have to add extra support or did it align up ok? One thing that I always do, before I commit to paint, is check out the alignment of the grill and air cleaners, etc? Same with the body and the stacks. Italeri use some brackets for the positioning the stacks, which I always try to add, before I shoot any paint? Sometimes they need a little bit of filling.
28 January, 23:11
Kenneth GiffordThe hood is in 2 pieces yes but there is an air intake tube piece that goes inside the hood that holds it together along with the overlap going down the center. It's turns out very rigid. That frame color is tamiya grey violet.

TreehuggerI wish I could find this on Temu today 😄, because Temu is imo 99 if not 100% bullshit when it comes to selling scale models. Overpriced, and old, uninteresting models. Some stuff sell at 3-4-5 times the selling price locally. I had to give up Ebay because of how sellers and ebay blamed eachother, unable to prevent double VAT payment. Amazon is typically just too expensive. My bank didn't allow me to buy from this one Hong Kong hobby store anymore. I did find an ok priced Border Models 1:35 Spifire on Temu recently, but I didn't like this particular Border Models kit. Most of this stuff are just kids toys, paper and thin metal models and some cast metal stuff. 99,9% uninteresting to me.
I forgot to add, so many scam sales on eBay (in the past some 2 years ago or so). I had some 10 orders that were apparently just bullshit. Luckily I got my money back, except for the currency conversion fees, that were lost. It is simply not possible to spot a scam seller on eBay now imo. 10 time in just a few months, postal service end up telling me, these kits (individually) were returned to seller. Everything else off eBay arrived normally. I used to warn eBay, by reporting obviosuly scam sales, but eBay turned off my reporting ability after a while it seemed.
I mention this now, because I do see now on eBay, they are selling several kits of this Tiger Model Tiger tank kit.

NeulingA gun not on the snow but in the snow ... yes ....... but otherwise very appealing diorama.

Trez@Neuling - you seem to be stalking me. Are you one of the stalemates staff? You're like some kind of eternal sentinel like it's your job or something

Placed the little white ! For the inverted outlines at doors. White toner looks good.

Chuck RobertsI bought this in a lot with about 23 built and partially built kits and a ton of loose parts. I plan on rebuilding these glue-bombs eventually.

These sprues look lovely. First, let them have a shower in a bubble bath.

FelixDear Nicolas
Thanks! Yes, happy and excited. It did take them a month BUT they told me so from the beginning and i got all the parts. Very happy with this kit so far. What do you think of the interior yellow green?

NicolasHey Felix, a very promising start. Unfortunately I can't give you any tips on the interior color, I only know that with American aircraft it sometimes depends on the factory, as the same type was painted differently in different factories.

FelixThank you, Thomas! I am going with the yellow plane from 15 AF. Thinking of paintin the yellow crosses instead of using the decals. And i am a bit worried about the large decals for the nose art.

Felix@Thomas, danke dir! Eine Woche lange geschliffen, jetzt kommt der eigentliche Spass mit dem Bemalen.

Felix@Kenneth, thanks a lot! The sanding me took a long time but i really wanted to get it right, it's something i always struggle with.

boywellumGreat work, can I ask how you went about the weighting? I tried lots of small lead fishing weights with my Airfix Mitchell but ended up having to fill not only the tiny area given but also the room, behind and just below the cockpit, also behind the control panel and part of the room just behind the cockpit, every space I could find. I'm new to building American bombers, all the RAF ones sit on their tail wheel. Do you or any of the people who have commented have any better ideas than lead? I'm really looking forwards to seeing this project develop (especially as I have the kit myself and need all the tips I can get). Thanks Richard. Following.

FelixDear Boywellum
Both the Mitchell and the Liberator require lots of weight. I bought liquid gravity but it's not heavy enough for the space provided. But there is an ladder for the entry door which will serve as a stand. So i have to go with that!
