Robert PodkoลskiWatching with interest, of course. Looks like an ancient kit...

NeilHi Robert ๐ yeah, I'm not too sure about the heritage on this one. It's all a bit crappy plastic for sure, but we'll see how it turns out, it's supposed to be an in-between build ๐

Chan LiI'm in, I think I know exactly the word "crappy" mean, this was one of my childhood nightmare.

NeilHi Chan Li, hope you are well, thanks for commenting. Yes. My apologies, maybe I should have said 'not the best plastic' to be more polite on a global forum 😉 ...Your builds look marvellous btw - especially that latest Chengdu - not a kit I see a lot pop-up on here 👍

Chan LiHaha honestly I prefer "crappy", I would have used the same description. Actually I'm super curious how it look after a proper build and painting, never thought this antique kit can fly to Europe ๐, I can't even find it over hereโฆ
I wasn't assured if people like my buildโฆ especially Chengdu J-10 isn't pop over here

Maciej BellosGuilty as charged too! Trying the odd older kit, just to see what I can do with it.
Looking good Neil!

NeilHi all ๐ I've finally got around to taking 'reveal' pictures for many of my previous build albums. I shall be updating each and including a few build notes in the description too.
Here is my version of the AA Models Shenyang J-6 kit, completed in 2022 (it wasn't the best fitting). And to make it more difficult l decided that I'd paint the camouflage freehand with a hairy stick - just for fun! Hahaha!
The colour scheme is my interpretation of a few 'War Thunder' web images I found. I just had fun with this one and treated it as an exercise in paint use.
Much thanks to all who showed interest and liked, you're very kind, especially to have commented on my efforts with here ๐

NeilThanks Guy, Palo M and Gorby for commenting, much appreciated ๐ and thanks to all who've liked what I tried to make look good here! You're very kind ๐

NeilWow! Thanks very much mates. This kit isn't the greatest (I know excuses!) I really just used it as an exercise in brush painting camouflage and practicing weathering. Totally aware it's completely unrealistic. So very humbled and pleased to have all of you comment 🙂
