I'd have to agree Tom. This is an example of Eduard at the top of their game.

Tom,

That is looking great so far. Have you seen the new Airfix one yet?

Regards,

Steve

Looks very good, my HB will have to 'train hard' to live up to its cousin

Hi Steve, Yep seen it and built it a few years ago as the stripy Korean War example. A very nice kit to build but not a highly accurate one which is a shame - but it did show a marked improvement to their old tool.

Thanks Marek

The HB kit is a very nice one but the for a few £'s more I would have to choose the Eduard one, the extra detail and accessories are worth every penny.

Regards

Tom

I agree, I got both HB fifteens well before Eduard came out. Now I would not even think about them.

Now my MiG's all shiny

:

The metal is Humbrol Metalcote Polished Aluminium built up in several light mist coats and gently polished with a soft cloth. I'll give it a couple more days to cure fully and then I'll add a couple of Klear coats.

Regards

Tom

That is looking really smart Tom, a flawless silver finish.

Looks terrific Tom. Did you brush paint it or have you taken the airbrush plunge?

Cheers guys

One of Humbrol's rattlecans Darryl, I'm still not ready for an airbrush

Still moving Darryl

, the red unit marking has been masked and painted on the nose and another coat of Klear has gone on to seal the surface ready for decals:

Not a huge amount left to do now.

Regards

Tom
