Added some weights as I feared this one could become a tail sitter.

Disaster struck.
Gloss coat reacted to my gloves, I believe and created some heavy chipping...
At least the coat is nice and even, which is nice.

Robin (WhiteGlint)Done some glueing, putty and sanding. Already sprayed the white paint used for the intakes and landing gear bays. Considering some A2A Missiles.

Łukasz GlińskiFirst time I see it being built. Will follow, even though I'm not a fan of whifs

Robin (WhiteGlint)Welcome aboard, mates 🙂
Except for the black anti-glare in front of the cockpit the colours are done.
After that is applied and some necessary corrections are made I will apply the gloss coat.
I prepared some plasticard where I will test my decals first, before applying them to the aircraft. Can't wait to put them on the Flatpack, hopefully they are okay.
So far the kit was quite nice. It does not have many parts but its details are good in my opinion. The cockpit is somewhat simple, though.

Maciej BellosNice to hear the kit is ok. I had some thoughts to build it together with the T-50, but made a pass on it. I'll see later on. I intend a what if with it.

Robin (WhiteGlint)Disaster struck as I applied the gloss coat. Looks like the colour and/or gloss coat somehow reacted to my vinyl gloves I use all the time when spraying paint.
First time I used die Tamiya TS-13 spray can.
Was quite happy with the paint job.... Need to let it dry and see if I can fix this somehow.
At least the coat is smooth and even, which is nice. 😄 👍

Maciej BellosBummer... Still, you and we learnt something. Vinil gloves and Tamiyasomething should form close encounters😉

Robin (WhiteGlint)Yeah, bummer indeed. As Łukasz said, luckily it's on the underside.
I'll let the jet sit for a few days. In situations like this one it is best to put the model away for some time and consider one's options.
Everytime I tried to fix something like this immediately I made it worse. I will probably sand the biggest area carefully and apply some more grey, after that another gloss coat.
Should I use the Tamiya coat again I will not touch it until it has dried for an hour or more...
Maybe I'll start another project in the meantime.

Album info
1:72 scale MiG 1.44
Hopefully in Osea Air Defense Force (Ace Combat Series) markings with some self-printed decals.
Let's see if that works out...
