Oh well, you already checked my profile 😂. Too bad, but this is not an alternative account. Believe it or not (I don't mind though), this is my one and only ARC account. Being affirmative (like being insistant) does not make you right either. And for that instance you're wrong. Anyway, the point is that you keep bashing AMK on ARC the same way you were already bashing a few years ago whereas the kit was not even real plastic. Like some other people, I find your behaviour a little bit obsessive and agressive. And like some other people I wonder what's behind. Simple

Funny you talk about nefarious posts 😜 However you're perfectly right and I should have been more precise : your last post on this french forum about the fact that AMK's F-14 would never reach production status dates from this period of time indeed. One more proof (if needed) and as already written that your insistance does not make you right. Nothing doubtful here.

Hi, Don't worry, he did exactly the same on at least one french modelling forum a while ago, all his posts being about the fact that the AMK kit will never hit the market etc etc .. and again and again and again. Then the kit popped up and now all his posts are about the kit defaults, innacurracies, wrong shapes and on and on and on ... Guess he's kind of obsessive/disturbed somehow but don't know/understand exactly why. Also, whatever the topic, he knows. Better than anyone will ever do. Seems to be a real crusade for him. Weird behavior anyway.

Hello, Nice model Mimis. Can you tell me what color did you paint the gear legs, wheels and bays, and what reference did you use ? Thanks Philippe

Thank you all guys. Regards Philippe

Thanks for the answer Jorge. Regards

Hello Jorge, Your F-16 is beautiful. Can you please tell us what paint and colors did you use ? Thanks Philippe

Hi Kent, You're right indeed. Actually I first airbrushed the whole plane RLM 76 which is a very light blue/grey (Gunze H417), then fuselage sides and upper surfaces RLM 74 / Dark grey (the darker of the two greys usually used on Luftwaffe's planes upper surfaces / Gunze H 68), and then mottling with RLM 76 again on the upper surfaces. Actually, depending on some books I read, the camo was described as either 76 over 75 or 75 over 76. Looking at some pictures (see http://ww2eagles.blogspot.fr/2011/03/duel-under-stars-story-of-wilhelm.html), I decided to go with 76 over 75. Hope this helps.

Hello gentlemen, And thank you all for all the kind words. Talking about canopy masking for this one ... a real pain in the neck especially as I wanted to have the canopy opened. Therefore I actually masked the interior first (and had to re cut some masks which were obviously sized for exterior masking) and airbrushed the interior color (RLM 66 - Gunze H416). Then remove the interior masks, mask again (the exterior this time) - arrrrrgghhhh - and glue the canopy before painting the camo. I was so bored in advance by the tasks that this one took the dust for a couple of years before I found

AFV F-5E in new blue scheme. Twobobs decals Thanks

Hello all, I finally managed to finish this one I began in June 2006. I have been stopped for years by the boring task of canopy masking. This is the Revell Bf 110 G4. Aerials are either from Eduard or scratchbuilt. Paint is Gunze. Camo is free hand and main markings are done using masks (with the exceptions of the little C9s and swastikas). This is a good model kit, especially when it is finished (as every model though). Here are the pics : Thanks for your comments and feedbacks. Phlip

Hi all, I finally decided to post my last finished model here on ARC. It is AFV's F-5E. I used Twobobs decals and resin cockpit I don't remember from which brand. Paints are Xtracolors, the first time I used these as I did not want to try to mix Gunze. Let me know your thoughts. thanks Philippe May be I should resize the pictures.

Oh yes some aggressors please please please !!! And the two tones white / blue scheme !! Can't wait !!!

Thanks, Well, I wanted to order both sheets at the same time but I guess I'll have to order the first one and then the other one. Can you please post the picture of this second sheet as I can not find it anymore. Thanks Philippe
