From what I have seem, and comparing with photos from the web and Jake's book on the A-10, it seems to be fairly accurate, and represent the latest variant with all the new gizmos avaliable.

Your observations are correct, here are some photos from my sample, the dark circles are the ejection marks highlighted with Tamiya dark brown panel liner. To be fair, they are quite shalow and hard to see. Someone will surely come with some aftermarket replacement but as you said, these things should hot happen with today's injection molding tech.

I have read in other sites that Academy's new decals are excellent, on par with Cartographs' best. Dusan Lekic (Scale ModelAircraft on YouTube) commented that in his Academy 1/48 A6M2b build review (Academy 1/48 A6M2b Build)

Sorry that I didn't answered your question earlier. No, I have not, only the military colors.

I would recommend the MRP line of scribers. This one: NPR Scriber Narrow is excellent, I use it as my primary scriber and have zero complaints. Expensive for sure but worth it.

MCW Finishes makes enamels for popular FS colors. I have used them and they behave like old MM but IMHO with better results, since they use automotive-grade ingredients. I thin with Levelling Thinner and the resulting finish is smooth as butter. MCW Finishes They are expensive, thou.

Got first shot on Sunday. One eye turned yellow and developed x-ray vision but otherwise no side effects. -

I learned a long time ago to NOT mix Mr colors and thinner inside the airbrush cup. The paint is more dense and will clog the AB. Try mixing in a separate cup. I use Aztec gravity feed cups with a toothpick inserted in the tip of the siphon tube. Mix the paint/thinner, remove the toothpick and pour on the AB. -

Your dreams are my dreams. It is up to our Russian friends (Zvezda) to make these dreams come true ,as we can count no more on hasegawa or tamiya. -

nachjager replied to Kurt H.'s topic in General Discussion
Agreed, the Eduard one is inaccurate (plastic is gray instead of magenta, too much ejection pin markings in the canopy frames, et al). -
