(2022 F-18 Group Build) 1/48 Meng F/A-18F Super Hornet

I’ll be watching this one. I heard this is a very nice kit. Tamiya like in its fit and engineering. -
Gwen, My LHS just started to carry the Tamiya lacquer line so I don’t have a lot of experience with it. Tamiya’s lacquers are similar to Gunze if you are familiar with those. Unlike MRP, Tamiya’s paints are not prethinned. I thin 50/50 with MLT. At that ratio coverage is a little better than MRP. I got a nice uniform coverage. I have not tried brushing it but assume it can be brushed for touch ups etc. MRP is a little too hot to brush. I used LP11 to base coat a P-38, then over painted with OD before I chipped off the paint. It was easy to use with good results. Also I can addr

Take a look at Tamiya LP11. It’s a lacquer based paint and I thin it with Gunze Mr.Leveling Thinner. Sprays beautifully and very durable once dry.

I have the Fightertown sheet 48-007 that I am willing to part with if you are interested. While not as comprehensive as the Furball sheet, it features five aircraft from their final cruise. -
Found a guy selling "framed" box arts. Problematic?

(2022 F-16 GB) Tamiya 1:48 F-16C, 421st TFS Desert Storm

Me too… -
At least you won’t have sand off any raised details in the cockpit if Quinta comes out with a 3D printed cockpit set.

Man, should have bought a C-17 when I could have.

Group Build Proposal: F-16 Fighting Falcon Furball
okthree replied to Kurt H.'s topic in General Discussion
I just finished a Tamiya 1/48 scale. I had so much fun and I have a bunch more in the stash I would be up for another. I’ve got a couple other projects on the bench I need to finish first but if I’ve got the whole year, count me in. I think the last time there was an F-16 group build back in about 2008 it had a high participation rate. Participation in group builds haven’t been high in the last few years but hopefully there will be a few of us joining in. -
Figures after I bought all the Phase Hangar stuff to convert the Hobby Boss kit somebody would release a new tool A-10C. Tamiya can’t be too far behind. 😃

That’s the one. Thank you. Gun charging handle was my suspicion but I wasn’t sure. I was looking for a similar picture on the web but couldn’t find one. Thanks for posting.
