- Welcome to this new, 2-part series on the channel. This series focuses on 2 elements, firstly a build review on the MiG-17 in 1:48 by Ammo by Mig, the second a paint test on the new acrylic paint range named ATOM by Ammo by Mig. I hope you enjoy it.
I always enjoyed your featured articles in Model Airplane Monthly and Scale Aircraft Modeler, JH.
Thanks mate, I'm regularly published in AIR Modeller these days.
Joining fuselage haves with black superglue has been a major improvement for me in my model building. I first learned of it on Jenesis Designs and Modelcraft. It's the best way to prevent ghost seams. I usually back up the inside joint with bits of styrene sheet glued with extra thin. It's a bit belt and suspenders approach, but it's working great for me so far.
I have used the plastic strip technique when the plastic is thin in the past.
I do like these Arabic air-forces MiGs. Had to get one! Following along keenly to see how it goes together Jamie.
They are cool!
Cool kit. It’s about time I build a Soviet jet also. Great work as always.
Thanks mate, it is a very nice kit
Great build up - cockpit simple but looks awesome as you've done it. I found that gun plate the only weak point of the kit...that said...any Mig15/17 I've built that has always been a little bit of a pain.
It is an awkward shape
Wonderful build as usual Jamie , also absolutely great tip about those PE wing Fences 👍
Thanks mate
Cool model. 👍
Thanks mate
I really enjoyed your video. You used a clamp that appeared to have some type of gripping surface that enabled it to stay clamped around the curved nose. I am in desperate need of such a clamp. Please share any details on the item and where to get them. Thanks and keep up your videos. They are awesome.
Hi Dan, thanks mate. It's just a domestic clothes peg with rubber ends, I got a pack from the bargain shop!
Hey Jamie great video thanks for sharing, I’m about to use my 1st PE seatbelts wasn’t sure to paint them or not. cheers Liam
Thanks Liam
Interestingly, you hadn't primed the parts before painting the colours. The adhesion of the paint looks good? The solvent gives enough bite to the bare plastic?
Yep, adhesion is fine
How the heck did you get that home in your suitcase without damage…..?
In a plastic box packed with plastic bags to absorb the shock. It works a treat.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thanks mate
So Jaime, we can scribe over cured VMS black superglue and get a nice, neat panel line? With typical surfacer I keep getting an untidy raggedy line. I have join lines on the nose of a 1/72 B-17F that I need to fill, then scribe lightly to match the shallow panel lines near them. I thought of using sprue goo but the VMS glue cures faster with accelerator. 🤔
If I need a proper filling job I use Mr Hobby epoxy filler, no problem with scribing. The black superglue seems fine to scribe if its a small amount.
Hello Jamie what was the blue glue you was using there , looked like it was pretty helpful to hold parts in place. Do you not need a primer with that paint? and stealing your black super glue idea 👍
Its just blue glue from Ammo, it behaves exactly like normal glue but being coloured can be very useful at times
The atom paints are superb. May I ask what the blue glue is please?
It's from Ammo, regular extra thin but blue.
How are the atom metallics?
Questioning buying the box set since I have other metallics.
I've only got the Gun Metal but I really like it.
@@thescalemodellingcafe Thanks.
Will try a few in that case.
Is A-Stand rebranded Alclad, or do you know if they've changed the formula?
They've tweaked a few of the shades but I think most are the same
Ewwwww painting on the sprues I'm telling the modelling police 🤣🤣
I still paint on the sprues too but I'm a ginger so I have an excuse 😂
So you smell of stale fox's pee then? 😄
