  1. Very nice finish, looking forward to see the completed work! _ After failing to find convincing aftermarket eastern bloc pilots, I decided to fire up my clone factory again. Did some gene splicing first by removing the voluptuos vest from a Hasegawa F-14 pilot and building up the iconic soviet harness pattern with adhesive foil strips and leftover etch parts. The first cast was painted for the croatian MiG.
  2. In case you ever want to strap a handful of Saturn Vs to your EVA to nuke the site from orbit: https://www.taghobby.com/archives/510885
  3. Prototype & parts pics of Norma's hot rod at Taghobby Pure Mecha Rock & Roll!
  4. Nice to see the forum's Tomcat fleet growing!
  5. The sculpt and detail level is amazing, it deserved a bigger scale.
  6. Thanks for all the flowers, guys. I can't recommend the Eduard kit enough, the surface engravings are super sharp & only needed a hint of a wash. @derex3592 I admire your patience with the photoetch. This is my attempt to get everything more or less lined up on the BBQ skewers of the Fitter & the MiG, and it was quite the nerve-wrecking business:
  7. A bit of progress on the MiG-21
  8. Current order for the Russian Air Force is 76 machines.
  9. Have a nice start into the future!
  10. Awesome scratch-built 1/48 Hellhound
  11. First regular production Su-57 "Blue 01"
  12. Wouldn't that be "Thunderdome"?
  13. I took that as a vague hint that I'm getting too old for the show.
  14. Ourtreasure blog has some interesting insights about the (digital) sculpting of their Junchoon. http://ourtreasure.co.jp/2020/11/29/原型師syujyu氏より、エンゲージsr3後期型について/
  15. It will probably be more cost-efficient to get the RE/100.
  16. Made a second pass over the dark green since it was a tad too dark, and painted the canopy.
  17. Even if you use vacuum, mold layout is important. Imagine how the resin flows when it fills the mold, and avoid air traps or build extra venting channels in problematic places. Some of these traps will not clear even under vacuum. If you have a lot of tiny air bubbles after mixing the resin, most of these will disappear when you slowly pour the resin into the mold in a thin stream or along a piece of wire.
  18. MT, what's the pressure output of that nebulizer compressor? I guess you're safe from blowing yourself up?
