Have a shot a AK Interactive Real Color paint line. They will be my go-to once all / most of my Model Master paints are depleted.

Picky picky picky… ROFL!

Nuttin’ wrong with the chair. Duct tape can fix it. LOL!

You’re gonna need a bigger workbench.. ROFLMAO!

Wanna bet. You haven’t seen or heard of The Black Diamonds Demo Team camo scheme… https://www.milavia.net/airshows/display-teams/black-diamond-jet-team/#img/2

Italeri is garbage. If you don’t care about accuracies in the Academy kit, build the Academy kit.

Quality of the kit. Same kit, old molds. The original Monogram kit would be more crisp. The repop kit molds isn’t the same quality as the original molds of Monogram kit.

I see why you were confused. It gave you the option of using either RLM 2 grey or Russian Cockpit Green. I agree. Go with the turquoise Russian Cockpit Green.

Looks good. Now weather it with Tamiya black panel liner. Blot / wipe excess with Q-tip immediately.

MiGs never used RLM 2 for cockpit colors. This is what you need for Russian cockpit color… https://www.scalehobbyist.com/catagories/Paint_and_Construction/russian-cockpit-turquoise/AKI000RC980/product.php?s=3&t=1&u=1&pg=2&ppp=48&sb=stocknumber_a&so=d&e=0&ct=6

Don’t sell yourself short on Tamiya. Tamiya kits are fantastic “shake and bake” kits. I’ve built several Tamiya kits. They practically build themselves. Stay away from Italeri kits! They’re pure garbage. Everything is wrong scale wise and nothing fits nor looks right. I did a Viper kit and the...

Yup…. from the 1977 original Monogram kit.

Same molds…. old Monogram molds from 1974 that Revell acquired in the merger. That’s why I won’t build repops of the original old, worn out, molds. 20 plus years of using the same molds do wear out over time.

I’d hardly call a 1951 automobile “modern”. They’re classics…. LOL!

It looks good but… the main reason I don’t like it are the cowls. The one on the right looks proper because it’s a separate part. The left one is molded in on the boom halves and does not look correct. I would have cut off the left cowl and add a correct one so the kit as a whole looks more...

Obviously, you didn’t bother to check www.scalehobbyist.com. They have THE best prices over most other hobby online stores.:rolleyes:

Reread his first post… ROFLMAO!

Meh… I don’t dip aircraft canopies in Future unless I have to. The only time I’ll use Future if CA glue fogs up my clear parts or if I’m too lazy to use Testors gloss clearcoat. TBH…. I rarely use Future on my builds. Each to his own I suppose.

I stopped buying Tamiya tape a long, long time ago. It’s expensive - $5 - $6 for dispenser with tape, replacement roll of Tamiya tape runs around $3 - $5 depending on tape size. They’re not worth it. For the last 10 yearsor so, I use exclusively Frog Yellow Painter tape. You can find it at...

To prove my point why I use lacquer thinner and never any retarder, or leveling / flow improver. Lacquer thinner cleans brushes better than Most hobby thinner, even Tamiya thinner. Test and see for yourself. Clean your brush using Testors thinner, Tamiya thinner, etc… It doesn’t completely...
