I think I will just mix my own. BUT I find it very hard to believe that after a custom mix, pre shading, post shading, future, oil wash, flat coat that I will end up with a more accurate color than what Model Master has.

I have used almost exclusively Tamiya acrylics for my models. (airbrush) I am working on a SU - 27 and Tamiya doesn't produce the appropriate colors. My local hobby store carries the Model Master enamels which include Flanker specific colors. So what advice can you give me? OK to spray them over Tamiya primer? Drying time? Do they accept an oil wash well? Anything I need to know? I have almost zero experience with enamels. Thanks.

The wheel well and cockpit are both built and the fit seems perfect everywhere. I had to sand off some of the top of the wheel well and the bottom of the cockpit and I'm close to the right fit. I've looked every piece over a hundred times and have no idea what is off. Maybe my wing covers will go on perfectly. I will never have my wings extended. I think the plane looks far less attractive in that mode. Not to mention it takes up more space.

I am struggling with the fit of the cockpit inside the front two halves. The cockpit sits a nudge too high. I've looked everywhere and can't find a problem and I've seen no one else say the fit there is anything but fine. Anyone had this problem or have any advice? :D

So I knew that super glue and clear plastic are a bad mix. BUT I thought the tiniest amount would do no damage. I have a slight fogging to my canopy. Can this be repaired? And for extra credit, what is the best method for affixing tiny photoetch parts a canopy?
