I like your studio man :)

This is going along nicely..

Are you guys crazy, those resin look very good. By the way, Hanoto is showing the tiny pieces in between the upper and lower "feathers" is sticking from the wrong side. Yes, it is sticking from wrong side but come on! That is like a microscopic "mistake".

They got the "S" profile of the lerxes. They are the only ones, after 1/72 zvezda, for correctly capturing this. The intakes at the base of the veritical tails are corret, right one is larger, left one is smaller. The spine and upper fuselage and the nose area looks fantastic. I think it lack "full" engines unlike their F-15 and Mig-29 models. They do not show the single piece missile sprues. But they should have it because Mig-29 series already has them. VERY excited!!!! I told you they are quick. This will hit the shelves before holiday season.

Thanks for the link!

Super glue.. Cyanoacrylate.

We need decals for this.

This is what I do: I spray a thin layer of future then a very wet layer so wet that I would not do it with any other paint because they cannot cope with it. Once dry it has a very very gloss finish. I apply decals. Then another wet layer, less so than the previous one. Washes and then the final satin coat that is a mixture of MM Lacquer flat and gloss. I like the results I have. The "thick" look of future disappears once I use the satin coat.. I like this because this is a very cheap coat and decals go really nicely. As a bonus it is not toxic, well at least less so than the other options:D

Windex. Ammonium based glass cleaners works great. Airbrushing this thing is fun because you cannot make a mistake. I have flooded surfaces with it and somehow someway it flattens itself when dried. It is magic :D

GWH is generally quick. After the news of an upcoming release, it has taken couple months for previous cases. So, I expect to see this in this year.

Competition works, sometimes :)

I prefer the looks of legacy hornet anyway.. :D

Dont be. The joint is like a zipper, so much surface glue goes into... it is very much safe. You can almost hold whole model from the tip of the wing.

I agree that Kinetic Su-33 made the market for a new kit much smaller but still it is not nothing. First, there are new modelers (younger or new to hobby) coming and current modelers priorities can change too. I bet everyone has a to do list and Su-33 can be on the list but not high enough so that they may not have bought yet. Then Kinetic Su-33 has minor problems like bad instructions, not enough missiles for a full load aircraft and no a2g weapons. A Chinese version can be included in the box with few additional parts and decals. If the price is comparable I will certainly consider this kit since I am in market for a second Su-33/J-15 :) More is merrier for the consumer.

Aluminum of stainless steel from MM works good in my opinion. Titanium is too dark for my taste.
