@Michael Kohl, very interesting. First time I see those figures. The feedbacks seem good, I will order them.

Maku Komuri
Incredible style

Impressive collection and lovely presentation. 👍

CaptGPF
Looking good so far, watching!

Eric Thornton
Awesome looking aircraft. F-2 is very sleek with a unique camo, love it.

CaptGPF
Wow! Agree with everyone!

Mr James
Yes indeed, the detail on the tankers are quite superb. Up there with the best I've seen. Stunning build all round.

CaptGPF
Perfect in every way - from the subtle weathering and rust placed in the right places, the well painted figures (and their 5 o'clock shadows) - down the the crates. Perfect!

Now that I think about it, a solution to making accurate mixing ratios, might be to use the combination of a small jar + small digital scale weight, that way at least, it doesn't matter how large or small the drops are, as long as the amount of paint and thinner sums up to whatever amount you want. 🙂 Obviously a digital kitchen scale weight wouldn't be accurate I think, but there are cheap tiny digital scale weights that should work ok I think. These small digital scale weights has a max weight of 100g iirc.

Using my digital kitchen scale weight, an empty small 5ml jar is about 5g. It just says "5g", with no decimal places.
Filling the jar up to 4 ml, adds 3g using water.
So total weight of a small jar would be around 10g at max.
A small digital scale weight apparently can show 3g as 3.01g, which would help alot to get a more accurate measurement.

You're making it much too complicated.

I have a fun time airbrushing on Vallejo primer paint now using a thinner mix, but the added retarder medium makes it more difficult to thin by eye like I was used to when preparing a mix with Vallejo Air paint (not primer paint), and so I think using a scale weight will simplify things for me, the graduated jars isn't very useful as the lines are too few and so too crude, and somehow the paint creeps up along the glass wall as well heh in a small measuring jar. And counting lots of drops, is starting to irritate me when mixing paint.

If you own the kit too and if you like to build the same version, I spent a lot of time to find the perect green color. Finally I found the "The Army Painter Warpaints" Undergrowth Green (AW3433) which I highly recommend and matchs the green color of the decals perfect.

Beautiful job!

Mark Sherwood
Good looking Vamp ' Marco. Nice finish, I'm looking to get the Trumpy' or the Airfix kit in the near future. 🤘🥸🤟

Marco Gallmann
Many thanks for your kind comments groby and Mark. And all the likes mates. @Mark, I wish you a great pleasure by buying your Vamp and the build. Hopefully I don't miss it.

Guy Rump
Lovely job! 👍

gorby
Excellent result!

Michael Kohl
Very well done. Only looks a bit lost without water and men. 😉

CaptGPF
Very nicely done!

TOM marinato
Thankyou!.

CaptGPF
Holy cow! 😍😍😍

Mr James
Agree with Rob, insane detail

CaptGPF
Watching with interest

Rui S
Excellent work 👍

CaptGPF
Agree with everyone - flawless

CaptGPF
Great build! The paint job and weathering is well executed!

Lochsa River
Nice!

CaptGPF
❤️❤️❤️

CaptGPF
Like the subtle chipping and tonal variations on the panels!

Paul Moore
Thats fabulous! Congratulations on that very realistic portrayal. I did two cruises with Tomcats and that is not an unrealistic weathering portrayal. I've never seen "the shooter" in anything but khaki trousers however.

CaptGPF
Agree with everyone - beautiful cat. As for the deck crew, I don't think there's any "standard" trouser color. Some have khaki, some have camo from the internet pics I have seen.

Nice build 😎 👍

yeon sung Jung
I look forward to the great finished product!!👍😊

Sebastian Meyner
I just took a "timeout" from my MiG-15bis project. ...nothing more relaxing than some mottling 😎

Maciej Bellos
Kudos for the persistence. Looks like the fit is a bit problematic at places. Looks pretty good in general after all the problems you encountered.

Yeah, probably the Tamiya would be the better choice.
