Meep. Here to see the improbable splinter camo. And I like communist tubes.

Mr. Kapesnicek. I used to have a big poster of it when I was a kid. And saw it on an airshow once. Good luck on the masking haha.

So trying to find a base coat that works.. having a nightmare with paint at the moment.. 🙁

James C
Hope you sort out the paint issues... the fuselage has taken shape nicely 👍

Glad you found a formula that will work. It sure is nice to have a forum where you can ask questions, and get the answers you need, or that help.

Augie
Soo.. after 3 attempts resulting in a stripping.. a re-engraving to clear filled panel lines.. and then some how a perfect night with new thinners that just worked..
Base coat is done.

Looks like your persistence has paid off 👍

21 April 2021, 18:20
Augie
Thanks James.. its been a total pain in arse lol... but think its due to my thinnners... new thinners seems to of sorted it thankfully.

Patrick, Nathan, thanks guys.. now to get bits on ready to decal!
21 April 2021, 18:25

I've been admiring picture 9 for a while now and have to take in for a moment that Augie only ever brush paints: extremely smooth surface Augie! 👍
22 April 2021, 14:05
Augie
Thanks Patrick, thats why it took 3 attempts to get to that finish lol. I must be cracked

22 April 2021, 14:54
Urban Gardini
Yes Patrick, she's a master of the brush!
22 April 2021, 16:42
Urban Gardini
And a little (not so little) crazy but we like her anyway!
22 April 2021, 16:43

Nobody and I mean nobody yields a meaner "hairy stick" than Augie. I don't know how she does it.
23 April 2021, 00:15
Patrick Hagelstein
With craftsmanship and souplesse of course..... 😉
23 April 2021, 05:13
Clifford Keesler
She sure does.

Well, its been a while with this one.. and here is the progress.. I've had to order a second decal set after fubaring one side of the rudder.
Needs to be left to dry a while now, before I start on the fuselage.

It has just struck me however, why on earth has no one done this for the sweedish fields and meadows scheme???????
6 May 2021, 18:41
David Taylor
Oh my.
6 May 2021, 18:48
James C
That's a striking looking scheme and will look even more impressive once finished 👍
6 May 2021, 18:48
Urban Gardini
Looking great mate, it'll be fun when it's my turn to try it but in 1:72...
6 May 2021, 19:02
Robert Podkoński
I would love to have decals for swedish disruptive camo - only then I would have a Viggen (and maybe Strvg.103) on my shelf...
6 May 2021, 19:15
Urban Gardini
There's no try, just do it...!

6 May 2021, 20:21
Augie
Thanks guys 🙂 she does catch the eye, just needs to dry up
6 May 2021, 20:37
Augie
So quick update as to where decals are.. some touch-ups will be needed but all in all, going ok.

Syhart's decals really snuggle down hard with softener, but they are thin.. I mean really thin, where I have already done a repair, you cant even see that there is a bit of decal over it..
8 May 2021, 13:00
Clifford Keesler
Looking awesome Augie, it's going to be a stunner.
9 May 2021, 02:03
Augie
Thanks clifford 🙂 its getting there lol
9 May 2021, 11:01
Augie
So All the biggies are on now, just the starboard rudder to do when the replacement arrives
its very striking I have to admit
16 May 2021, 19:24
Augie
Thanks Roland 🙂 Yeah Just need to get to work on the rest now 🙂 without getting distracted on the other mig or a panzer... or computer games lol

Very dangerous.. 😄

Robin (WhiteGlint)
The camo looks good, Augie. 👍
It feels like placement of the decals must be absolutely perfect so that they fit with the one for the aircraft number.
17 May 2021, 18:08
Augie
Thanks Glint, yeah they have to be very close plus I think they were sized for Acadamy's Mig... eduards is a smidge smaller.
17 May 2021, 18:56
Martin von Schreckenstein

18 May 2021, 09:20

Very cool paint scheme on one of my favorite aircraft. The Czech Air Force frequently paints their aircraft in interesting ways.
27 August 2021, 17:09
Guy Rump

27 August 2021, 17:47
