    There is one (very old) mainstream manufacturer:

    Next session from the aircraft factory! Awesome progress!

    Looking great so far Rob! The seat is really well done! Which oils from which supplier did you use?

    Nearing completion Gaz! Looks really stunning. I especially love how the 3-tone-upper camouflage and the exhaust stains turned out. Can‘t wait to see it completed and with a coat of flat varnish!

    Beautiful flawless build, Tony! The belts look really realistic now! Like Carl said: just give weathering a try like on the belts. You can’t destroy anything. If it doesn’t please you you can easily paint it over. I also did it a long time like you and then I tested weathering with oil color. Is quite easy and you can create a lot of different color tones. I have Daler Rowney Oil Colors: Black, Umber, White and Blue. And thinner. The surface has to be sealed with future / pledge or acrylic clear. This protects the underlying paint. And then you can start by mixing the colors and applying them heavily thinned to corners, panel lines, etc. It needs to dry a day but can easily be wiped off if it doesn’t please you. Fixing is done with flat varnish. You should really give it a try. Really improves the model. I have my oil colors for 18 years now and can still use them! I enclosed some fotos for more clarity. It’s so easy! You should really give it a try.

    Looks absolutely convincing Carl. The color of the cylinders is spot on! Not easy to paint the crankcase due to necessary masking. Well done!

    That looks as if you could step in and operate the gun! Awesome !

    Aircraft factory is open again! Simple to comment: I‘m speechless!

    What a mess this Revell Stang is! You do not only have to walk the extra mile, it‘s lots of extra miles you have to walk! Never thought that this would be such a bad kit regarding fit! But the fotos show that this will be a flawless build in the end! Looks beautiful so far! I would use your 3rd proposal for the wing-painting. Seems to be the most promising for me. The high speed silver will give them the right look. I’m curious what your tests will show.I have the Tamiya Stang in my stash and have to deal with the same topic... Can‘t wait to see your next update! Kai

    Awesome model Alberto! Which paint did you use for the BMF? How did you do the red knob on the stick? Looks like the real thing! Beautiful attention to detail!
  12. Kaireckstadt
    Thanks Peter! Time for you to unbox and start after your P-51?
  13. Kaireckstadt
    Absolutely awesome paint finish with a beautiful attention to detail painting. Wish I had the feeling for this like you. This will be a real stunner in the end!

    Although I‘m not an expert I love the camo Gaz. Looks much better to me than your first attempt! The Ostketten are a nice addition.
  15. Kaireckstadt
    The surface of the wings and fuselage is stunning Mike. Looks as if it was real linen! The support construction you scratched is simply perfect. This will be another beauty from you when finished.
  16. Kaireckstadt
    Great looking Phantom Alberto! I‘m a fan of the aircraft and of the SEA-scheme. You did it justice! Bang-Seats, Nozzles, Weapons look spot on! Makes me want to take my F-4E out of the stash and start building it.
  17. Kaireckstadt
    Awesome painting and the extras are real eyecatchers. Creative ideas I‘ve never seen before on a model!
  18. Kaireckstadt
    Very good start and when I think of the livery you plan it will be a stunner!
  19. Kaireckstadt
    Thank you Gaz! I hope it will!
  20. Kaireckstadt
    Thanks Rob, I hope so too! Didn‘t know that Hannants offers some IsraDecal Stuff! Interesting!
  21. Kaireckstadt
    Seats that really can move in their rails! That’s more than stunning! In the end it will be able to fly...
  22. Kaireckstadt
    Thanks for your feedback Jeff. I hope that the final effect will be as you described...
  23. Kaireckstadt
    That’s so beautiful Alberto! Please post it in the Ready for Inspection branch!

    Alberto, Raanan Weis is the owner of Isracast and Isradecal. He is a nice guy. Got to know him in Telford 2019. But not so reliable in his business. Just wait for your order to arrive. Maybe you get it fast and without any missing parts!

    Last night I detailed all wheel-wells with Eduard brass. Much of it left over since the detail on the Italeri parts is really nice and 3D compared to 2D Eduard. For the main landing gear wheel well you have to change the assembly of the gear-strut to be assembled at the end when you want to use the brass parts. But this is also better for the painting-process and no problem at all. The prominent ejector pin mark on the font nosewheel door will be eliminated. Next will be primary painting of the wells and detail-painting and weathering.
