Scale Aviation Modeller International — February 2018

GT Resin

A

t the US Nationals in

2017, we received the

first in what I hope

will be a whole selection or

detail sets for the engines

of Trumpeter A-10. This kit

was only this manufacturer’s

second release after their

Mig-15 family not as detailed as

most modellers would hope.

One of the major errors

was the poor representation

of the engine fans and exhaust

nozzles which in the A-10 are

very prominent and noticeable.

Cutting Edge did produce a

correction set for this area but

this has been unavailable for

a long time and now demands

premium prices when they

appear on auction sites.

GT Resin has now released

a similar set that is simple

to use thanks to the easy to

follow instructions which

use a mix of text and black

and white photographs to

illustrate assembly

A-10 ENGINE SET

Designed for: Trumpeter

CONCLUSION

To see the full range visit the Large

Scale Planes modelling forum which

hosts GT Resin stock list and order

details (www.largescaleplanes.com)

and they also have a store at http://

stores.ebay.c...enter762?_rdc=1. They

can also be contacted directly via

Email at [email protected].

Now I have to grovel a bit as the

sample slipped into the lining of

my suitcase and got overlooked till

I needed to use the case again. So

my thanks to Gary of GT resin and I

apologise for the delay in publication.

Lifecolour

T

his manufacturer is

well known for its large

range of acrylic paints but

now they have released a boxed

set that has solved one of my

longtime painting nightmares.

Every now and then I have

to paint a figure to go with

one of my models and to say I

struggle is an understatement!

Now, Lifecolour has released

Flesh Paint a boxed set containing

six 22ml pots of different flesh

shades which actually look like

flesh unlike many other ranges.

You start with one of two

flesh shades one suitable for pale

Englishman and the other for more

rugged tanned nationalities.

The next two colours are

described as Lights can be mixed

with the flesh colours to produce

highlights for the forehead and

bridge of the nose. The next colour

is 1st shadow and this can again be

mixed with the flesh shades to add

shadows around the airs it can also

be heavily thinned with Lifecolour

thinner to produce a wash. Finally,

we have a darker colour which can

be used for the lips as well as to

make an even darker shadow coat.

LIFECOLOUR FLESH PAINT SET

REFERENCE NUMBER: CS13

Contains 22ml bottles of

UA707 Flesh 2nd Light

UA708 Flesh 1st Light

UA709 Flesh 1st Base

UA710 Flesh 2nd Base

UA711 1st Shadow

UA712 2nd Shadow

CONCLUSION

A large bust of a Viking on the box

front shows what can be achieved by

a skilled figure painter but even on

my first attempt, I managed a finish

far superior to anything else I have

achieved to date. It also offers very

good value as in Aviation Modelling

scales one set will last you a good

few years even if you add pilots and

ground crew to all your models

If you want an easy one-stop

set to paint figures this is it.

Our thanks to the Airbrush

Company for supplying the review

set which can be ordered from their

website at http://www.airbrushes.com

Eduard Brass In

T

he Eduard multi media

range just keeps going

goes from strength to

strength with a mix of basic

update sets like the wheels for

the AMK L-29 Delfin which has

now been released by Eduard as a

limited edition. To mini kits like

the 1/32 Spitfire cockpit for the

Revell kit and is so complete it

seems a shame to hide them away.
