solher1 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Maybe I have been lucky but I have used the 7xxx series with no problems. I have used the Mig-29 colors, Su-27 and recently on a Mig-31M. In addition to that, I almost never use primer prior to paint. However, I recognize that the 6xxx series spray better. In general, I prefer lacquers or enamels over acrylics. Juan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

falcon91352 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Yesterday, I got the GWH Su-27UB as a christmas gift from my parents. I must say, what a gorgeous kit! To my opinion one of the best, if not the best 1:48 jet airplane kit until today! I know, that several ARC forum users where involved in the R&D process of this kit. You really did a wonderful job together with GWH and thank you very much! 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've been using their acrylics for a few years, but agree that adhesion is a problem and I need to switch to the lacquers. Thanks so much, and hope everyone has a good holiday (as best you can during the 2020 dumpster fire)..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
legend1 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) this is the best f photo i could get so far it looks very faded Edited December 27, 2020 by legend1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Porkbits Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Thanks for the photo! Awesome. I probably won't weather mine, even though the actual plane is well worn. I like my flankers new and shiny. 🙂And also because the older I get, the lazier I get and can't be bothered to do the extra work lol. Can anyone recommend an AKAN lacquer set that matches the camo for 64? Thanks....! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mine was also sent on the 18th of december and I was informed on the 28th through PostNL tracking system that my parcel would be delivered the 29th between midday and 4.30pm. Can't you still choose a "Pick-up" point instead of your address ? Hope you can get in touch with the Agency who should deliver your parcel.... Good luck.

Curt B Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Hi All, Just thought I'd jump in here to add my $0.02. I got my GWH SU-27UB from SprueBrothers in early November, and decided, based on the discussion here on curved missiles, to verify mine. All of the weapons in my kit are perfectly straight. I've read with interest this lengthy thread, and certainly a lot of opinions presented here. I'm not certain yet whether I"m sold on the multi-part exhaust of this kit, and in fact, if there are ever parts of any jet airplane model that I am inclined to want to replace with aftermarket resin pieces, they are generally the ejection seats, and the exhaust nozzles/afterburner parts. It will be interesting to see what aftermarket companies do with the exhaust for this kit. As far as I can tell, no such dedicated aftermarket exhausts have yet been made available (if anyone knows different, please provide some info), but I'll be looking forward to seeing if such aftermarket items can/will improve on the detail of the kit parts.
