From my experience , water ok ish , their own thinner used sparingly is better , also some swear by Tammy X20 which is better than water and has less retardants. I've used all three in the learning process . It's doesn't react that well to hotter stuff like MPR self levelling or other things with high IPA content ( it can 'split' like milk does) . Found once I had a good feel for the viscosity, it becomes more straightforward , initially I was put off by me over thinning . You can spray them straight from the bottle according to their blurb, which is ok if you just want heavy coverage , but out of the bottle viscosity varies by pigment density. But this is what I love the best , esp being a big fan of Mike Rinaldis work . In this vid he's put the paint on a bit thick , put it on a bit thinner and it drops off easily. Sorry if I'm being a bit of a proselyte .

Looking great , nice tonal variations .l dont know if you are a fan of Flory washes but used them in the past on NMF and they really pop the dirt and smoke residue effect .

Drivers going to have to lean a long way out of his hatch to see anything on that representation 🤣 It's a pity no other manufacturer makes a Chally 1 , the old 1986 Tamiya kit's ok-ish ( I built a KFOR one a few years ago) , but theres a lot of stuff missing from the boxing . I see Twumpy planned to do one , not sure if that would be much of an improvement though.

Looking good , take it no seat belts in the kit or do they use decals ?

Part trois of the xmas build ,

It's good to see some nice engineering from them . Looking good Martin , how are you enjoying the Atom ?

Glad you modified the gonadlas , they look great now .

Sounds like an annus horiblis as our Liz once said , thats Latin for huge sh%t storm . I hope you’re well on the way to getting back on a sounder footing. You didn't miss much - just a bunch of blokes glueing bits of plastic together; the endeavour of which is truly nada compared to loosing your home and cars . Best wishes from the UK

Mirrors Revell's approach with their 1/32 Fw190 , have to shave a lot off the engine to close up the nose .

Or gently flat blade scrape it ?

Well spotted …thats my 1/24 match 😀 heres the 1/35 version

Part Deux of the Xmas build Only the two part per link tracks to complete .. #regrettablelifechoices

I'm so sorry to hear that Hubert , all my best to you and your family, I hope next year brings a lift to your life.

Nice one Dennis . Quite an oddly proportion design, I had to go take a look as wasn't aware of that one .

Hairdryer ?

Uh oh ...squirrel approaching ......

👍👍👍🕺 100% approve , have I? .....at all.?.... mentioned they may chip/reduct very well using odourless thinners .🤪 Took me a little while to make the change but not going back . Tamiya / MRP makes a good undercoat as it is more robust. Oh and also they level very well , brush touch ups over sprayed areas blend pretty good. PS I thought Arsfix putting an RAF colour scheme in there was just kinda silly TBH for a first release , although if you can't do mottling or use an airbrush at all I guess it gives you a way out .

Looking good , I take it the placards are Airscale stuff not with the boxing?

RLM approved 😃

Yep twisted wire works well 😀 as does twig and sea foam 🍋

Every review praises the ccanopy 😀do the wheels retract ?

Its funny how all manufacturers struggle at time with nose cones, given its a simple shape . Good probe 😀

Love a Vietnam 'toom , looking good Gus , I have the same airbrush , solid bit of German tech .

Interesting seeing that they painted the wing root black (?) presumably for the same exhausty reasons as they did on the FW190s? . I've not noticed that before on 109s but TBH it's not my area . Poor old Heinz, apparently he got bounced and shot down 18 days after that pic was taken by a mean ol' P47 .

Look , I'll send you this from my stash ....half the size, twice the part count , masks , PE , proper styrene , zero warpage...20x more fun . Just need ya ZIP code 😀 It's even got "those" tail markings on the decal sheet.
