Really like these newer kits- quite a nice bit of detail.

Really nice the 1/72 one I am considering doing for this build myself.

Makes me wonder how the 1/72 scale version will compare :hmmm Picked one up at the last show .

That makes the second show in a row that a vendor begged me to take something home... :idonno

Sort of strange . Cheers, Christian B)

 

[Jeeves]

Thanks Dave and Christian- I will keep my eyes open for when you both start your smaller scale versions.

The 1/72 one has some teeth also

Watching

Been interested in that plane since I was a kid.

 

[sharkman]

Watching too! (maybe this will motivate me to finish mine!)

 

[Jeeves]

Trying out the Mission Models paint on the Defiant- got the Sky layer down and the RAF Dark Earth....

Dark Green to come...

 

[phantom II]

So, what did you think of the paint ?

Cheers, Christian B)

 

[Jeeves]

I felt the coverage was super and clean up was a breeze! Once I get the final coat sprayed it'll be interesting to see how well it holds up to the masking.

Did it need thinning to spray a good coat ?
