Latest Acquisitions (2019)

[JR]

They worked as expected John, I always used two sized brushes for the decal work and these fit in nicely.:thumb2:

Used it on a Toon’s ip decal last weekend and no leaks or any dissolving brushes due to the solvent in Micro Set and Sol.
As they are intended for water, I think they are great for fixing pigments and maybe if a pigment fixer is fluid enough it will work too.:rolling:

HTH.

Thanks Fernando, I saw these advertised only this week, and was interested in how they might work with washes , oil or acylic. Do you think the oil wash might be too strong for the tip ?

Jakko,
nice find, on the Wellesley - it makes you wonder how many more of the original Matchbox kits are lurking out there.
As for the Privateer, I'm tempted, but I'll resist, a large 1/72 plane won't really fit in with my collection - thanks for the offer!

Indeed. The webshop I got it from listed a couple of others as well, but I decided against getting them too — for now Though I must say I’m always ambivalent about building very old kits like these.

OK, I’ll see about building it myself then, one of these days years

Received at the end of last year. Just able to post now. I'll see if I can get to starting the TOON this weekend.

Think the tip can handle any oil or acrylic wash, maybe have to thin it a bit since it has to go through the whole brush….
If you plan to use only one colour per brush it’ll be a time saving endeavour, changing the colours might be a real PITA of the cleaning involved.:rolling:
If it works let us know John.

The F-16 I bought mainly because of the paint scheme — I don’t keep up with aircraft shows and demo planes, but this one just looked cool enough to build. All I need to do now, apparently, is find a rattle can of Ford No. 6SFE electric orange, and preferably one that doesn’t cost twice what the kit did.

Have you looked at Hataka HTK-A282 Dutch Demo Orange (light)?
Don’t know about accuracy or how it ends up as I still have to use it on the same kit as yours…but some forum members have used Hataka before to good effect.

No, largely because I didn’t think anyone would make it, and Hakata isn’t at the front of my mind anyway Thanks for the tip, but I think I’ll give it a miss — my only experience with Hakata wasn’t overly positive.

I did a couple of tests, and silver paint with a layer of Tamiya Clear Orange over it gives a good metallic orange effect, so I think I’ll try that.

Thanks Fernando, I was thinking how the would work for applying a pin wash. All depends on the brush sizes I would think

An early delivery from postie
from the SMS......................
The AK Real Color paints are for a couple of RAF builds in the pipeline ( Revell 1/48 Beaufighter TF.X for one! ).
The Mig Ammo Decal Solutions ? - my bottle of Humbrol DecalFix is getting to the bottom ( I bought this from Amazon in July 2016 ), so I thought I'd try something new!
