OT builds a KP classic ***Finished***

[Old_Tonto]

Made some progress this weekend. I started by painting & masking off the dialitic (?) panels, the dark green ones.

Then I painted the underside Tamiya XF-23 light blue. Not sure its the correct blue but looks good to me.



It looks very pale in this shot but it is bluer - is that a real word?
Next up a coat of XF-62 Olive Drab before marking out the camo pattern with UHU white tack. A bit of an experiment this!



At this point I hit a snag and ran out of Tamiya thinner. I know I should of checked.
The next colour was a bit of a mystery too as the Eduard instructions I was using only state dark green! So I went with Xtracrylix XA1204 Schwarzgrun RLM 70. Looks German to me. Anyway after two coats of that it was time for the reveal:



Pretty pleased with that. Will use white tak again.



I hope to get some touching up done before bed time.

Still lots of flash to clean up off the small parts.



Look at that wheel?
More to follow soon.

Very nice OT!

[AndrewR]

Dielectric, I think. And the camo is good.

I hope to get some touching up done before bed time.

Words fail me.

Sorry, it's the drugs talking - I am full of cold & my brain is mush.

I started the decaling:



And finished it:



Next up a dull coat before fitting the fiddly bits & rocket pods. A little weathering & reveal the canopy. I am not overly confident about that.
Might get this done tonight.

It's coming up a treat OT. I agree about the green, it does look German. Sounds German too

[TobyC]

I think you're doing a very good job and it. Arguably more than it has a right to

[Old_Tonto]

I am calling this one done. I will add some more rocket pods when I get my hands on some. Glamour shots tomorrow in daylight.



A really enjoyable build.

[Stuart]

That's fantastic OT! It looks the business.

Well done!

Cheers

Lovely work OT. You've produced the proverbial silk purse with this one

[MarkyM607]

Did I not send you some?, have they not arrived?.

[Old_Tonto]

Did I not send you some?, have they not arrived?.

Not yet Marky but don't worry. They will turn up or not. I have the Dragon set on the way from Korea.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I feel another Mig build coming along very soon - just not the KP kit.

[Dazzled]

More Migs are always good

You can never have too many

Nicely done OT

Okay matey. It's probably that second class stamp dragging it's heels!. Oh and thanks to you Dazzled(!), I now have waiting to be built: Mig-17, -19, -21, -27 and -29. Darn you!!!
