I don't think so. I purchased it in the fall and it was a new item. They smell similar to AK Real Color paints.

Nope, you're not going colourblind, although I am. Here's what it looks like in the bottle. I've never seen a paint settle like this before. Here's a different colour. The pigment separates out completely.

Nice decal work there Rob. That's a lot of rivets.

That'll buff out.

A bit more work on the Horten. Did a coat of paint to see what the nose looked like. Then a coat of paint on the F-16. Finally, I tried out a new paint by Dspiae. It's supposed to be purple. I had to thin it considerably to get it to spray.

That's a funky looking van there.

Great job on that spiral Dave.

A bit more work on the Horten. Mostly CA and filler to smooth the radar fairing in better.

Nicely done door. What dust shield?

Rob, I'm thinking more postwar which would have been a grey interior. Although interior green could have been an interesting choice.

Cockpit is finally on and more putty work on the nose.

Bandai's newest kit just came out and after having watched a couple unboxing and build videos of it, I pulled out the closest thing I had to it in the stash. This one is from 2014 and nowhere near the new kit in detail/parts count/fit/articulation. Upon opening the box, I came to a couple conclusions: 1) it's still a lot of parts. 2) the box won't even fit on my bench 3) my pile of started kits on the bench is getting a bit out of hand already. So back in the box it went. As soon as this pile shrinks a bit, I'll take another look see. To that effect, I did some quick paint and putty work on the USN Horten .

One day I will actually start on a MFH kit from the stash (I have 4) but until I get the nerve up to do so, I'll keep watching you build yours.

Found them! Ron send me a PM and get them out this week to you. Carl

Ron, I definitely have one set but I need to find where it is in the stash. As soon as I do, Ill let you know.

The cockpit is definitely the " do I push on or throw in the towel?" point in the build. Glad you stuck it out.

I was switching schools from university to art college. Realized attending the first one was a complete mistake and I should've been an artsy. Unfortunately I didn't get to finish. The Jagdpanther is coming along nicely. It's made me want to go through the stash to see what I have. Found a Meng Panther A, a Takom Flak Panther and a RFM Jagdpanther. I was so tempted to start one but I don't have the space on my bench.

Ron, they're available in the Zoukei Mura weapons set. I may have a pair left over. Let me take a looka and I'll let you know. Carl

That looks great Kevin.

Can't wait to see what you do with the F-104. I enjoyed the 2 I built and still have a 3rd one in the stash. Carl

Looking good there.

My first try at building it was around the same time. Made a right mess of it and I don't think I actually finished it.

That I do! But my wife says I already have half the basement so I'm not sure I can get more space.

I'm with Martin, some very nice progress on the paint.

Gus, this one is an original boxing of the kit so it's from the '80s. It's actually the very first 1/32 aircraft kit done by Tamiya. They've come a long way since then that's for sure.
