That's what makes it good. That distinction between model and miniature replica.

Does it need to be primed? I don't prime anymore unless I have done major work. Idk what that print quality is but if the surface is equal to a current quality injection kit I think a light scuff with very fine sandpaper is all it would need. After it's been cleaned , of course. Otherwise I would say Mr. Surfacer. If it won't melt styrene it won't melt printing material.

Fast interceptor. And the single seat version was very fast. Then, as usual a trainer and or night fighter version was proposed. Maybe. One was often mistaken for the other.

Some fine work. Idk how you guys make paint stick upside down...

What kind of heresy is this!?!

Ze Germans don't speak Zinc chromate. Some kind of dark grey seems like a safe bet. Maybe raw aluminum for the tubes.

It's a good call, but on something that never made it to prototype stage, colors are kinda open, within reason, in my mind. Late war, paint inside cockpits and wheel bays was possibly just a suggestion of the intended color. One self appointed expert at the local was trying to state that a thin (nearly transparent) coat of RLM 02 was the German version of Aotake... He was corrected very quickly. LMAO.

Oh come on now! You know they have to marinate in the stash for at least a year!

1/48 Airfix. This may be my first ever Airfix kit. Not sure. I wanted a car door Typhoon but didn't move fast enough. Anyway, here it is. Have to do the box art scheme, for many reasons, but mostly the over wing missiles. That just looks crazy, to me, like something out of a Gerry Anderson show.

Lmao! Lucky you didn't end up chained to a radiator!

Tamiya is R/C as well, isn't it?

Das Werk Kit is just a re-boxed Trumpeter with some added goodies to make it an A7. I believe they do this quite often. When it's their own tooling they make a big deal advertising that.

Amazing. It's a beauty. If, though, they are really interested in history and preserving it for future generations or whatever he says in that video it needs to be parked in a big glass box and never flown again. I love seeing them fly, but with so few left in the world especially with an intact, working engine, it needs to be kept safe. On the ground. Go fly a Mustang, we have plenty of those.

Duck you!

Another Lego jig. Airacobra advancing at a glacial pace... And murderers row of small models in various stages.
