    I'd do that if it wasn't so freezing cold outside It's true that direct sunlight can be problematic, on the other side you need a lot of light to get a good depth of field, and this afternoon it was just too cloudy. However, I got a few good shots in the morning of the other kit I finished recently (resin semi-nudity warning):

    Your shots of the Refit still tempt me to grab one myself. Fortunately, I know better from my days of youth... _ First kit of 2021 completed. I hope to take some better shots when the light comes back in the next days.

    Can't you use the film as a paint mask for the stripes?

    Good to know! While you're ordering, get some of their Modelliermasse. I had a bad experience with plasticine reacting with the silicone and preventing the surface from curing. Good luck!

    Did you see the 2017 "Taboo" miniseries?

    I bought Trollfactory Kautschuk Typ 2 & PU resin from their Amazon shop. Both come in affordable 2 x 250g bottles. The new pilot is 1/48 scale, but I have also copied Hasegawa pilots from their 1/72 figures set. The mold looks like this: The 1/48 mold has pouring and venting channels, but for the smaller figures I built open molds; I fill both halves with resin, let it cure until it gets viscous and then squash the molds together. To make the molds, I first embed the figure in plasticine and push a short tube into this, resulting in what you see in the middle of the pic above. The tube is filled with silicone, after this is cured, you turn the tube around, remove the plasticine and brush some talcum powder on the silicone to keep the mold halves from sticking together, then pour the second part.

    Very nice finish, looking forward to see the completed work! _ After failing to find convincing aftermarket eastern bloc pilots, I decided to fire up my clone factory again. Did some gene splicing first by removing the voluptuos vest from a Hasegawa F-14 pilot and building up the iconic soviet harness pattern with adhesive foil strips and leftover etch parts. The first cast was painted for the croatian MiG.

    In case you ever want to strap a handful of Saturn Vs to your EVA to nuke the site from orbit: https://www.taghobby.com/archives/510885

    The sculpt and detail level is amazing, it deserved a bigger scale.

    Thanks for all the flowers, guys. I can't recommend the Eduard kit enough, the surface engravings are super sharp & only needed a hint of a wash. @derex3592 I admire your patience with the photoetch. This is my attempt to get everything more or less lined up on the BBQ skewers of the Fitter & the MiG, and it was quite the nerve-wrecking business:
