Because of you I starter painting my models by brush. I'm keeping rewatching your videos to learn how tò paint by brush and God you are very very very good at It.
Excellent video, thank you so much! Was thinking about buying this kit. As someone relatively new to the hobby, with two finished models and no airbrush, this video filled me with a lot of confidence.
Tamiya acrylics are high quality paints, but probably better for airbrushing. They are alcohol based, and dry fast. Honestly, I haven't tried yet to paint a whole kit with Tamiya acrylics, only some smaller parts, but it was fine. If you give it a go I would add a drop or two of X-20A Thinner, to have better flow and prolonged drying time. Or maybe even a paint retarder, I have in plan to test it. Anyway, Vallejo Model Color and Revell Aqua are great paints for brush painting, they are water based. Make sure you apply a primer before painting, it helps a lot with paint adhesion. Or at least wash the model in soapy water before painting, to get rid of grease from it's surface.
You don't have to, but it's good to do so. A gloss coat will seal your paint, and make the surface smooth, so the decals will adhere better to it, and your wash will flow in the panel lines better as well.
I have the exact same issue with that missing afterburner part, thought was a single case, also I cannot understanding why did they separate fuselage into to two pieces, requires even more time on building and sanding
@@brushpaintedmodels7086 yeah, you have great skills and tools ( I don't even know hoe to use primer or that stuff for the lines or decalfix). I will make a video if I complete it
Huh, the casting issu is weird, as a Zvezda main that made in total 79 zvezda models ranging from sizes years and eras ( as in old sets and sets about old and new tech ) this casting problems is…… weird, usually there are some priblems with casting but to the outside that you have to cut iff, on de other hand there is a problem with wings nor fitting onto older one wing designs where the underside of the wings is a separate part, and sometimes there’s like 3/4 mm and so….. putty
оставляю послание новичкам - у этой модели (весь) стабилизатор клеится хз как на глаз, так как нету направляющих, тупо люфтит место склеивания, лучше купить миг 15 или от других производителей
Saw one of these F Models up close and running. Extremely small, loud and maneuverable.

Glad to hear that! Thank you.
Fantastic work, very impressive that you can get this level of quality by brush painting.
Thanks again!
I'm starting to learn airbrushing, but I believe I will try hand-brushing acrylics once more, after your excellent video. Cheers from France.
Decent results can be achieved by hand brushing, but airbrush quality will be superior. Cheers.
Masterful! Paint job and panel lines are quality. Enjoyed the process and the finished job. Inspirational. Thanks and kudos.
👍
Really interesting vidéo about brush technique. Good job
Thank you!
Very good working with brush
Thank you!
Excellent video, thank you so much!

P.S. I want to ask your opinion on tamiya acrylics. Are they any good for brush painting?
Zvezda paints are hot garbage, with zero adhesion.

Very good , without airbrush! Ciao from Italy
Grazie!
That is excellent neat work. A great looking Mig 17. Well done. I have just found and subscribed to your channel.
Thanks! Appreciate. 👍
Beautifully done.
Thanks!
Very nice, excellent build..
Glad you like it!
QUICK TIP: Allways put glossy black under an aluminum color! It greatly enhances the shine.
Thanks for the tip!
Excelente video desde chile gran trabajo a mi también me gusta los aviones y el aermodelisno 👍
👍
Very nice indeed.

I'm new to model building, so forgive the dumb question. You don't have to use a gloss coat prior to decals and wash?
You don't have to, but it's good to do so. A gloss coat will seal your paint, and make the surface smooth, so the decals will adhere better to it, and your wash will flow in the panel lines better as well.
Hello! You've got a beautiful model! How did you make sure the plane doesn't fall backwards
Thanks! You have to put some weight into the nose section. 10g according to the instruction manual.
@@brushpaintedmodels7086 Thanks!
😱😱😱 !!!
👍🥇🏆

A nice little fighter, other than the classic NM finish there are a lot of paint schemes, expecially middle eastern & vietnamese
Good point!
I have the exact same issue with that missing afterburner part, thought was a single case, also I cannot understanding why did they separate fuselage into to two pieces, requires even more time on building and sanding
Thanks for the info!
Zvezda engineers love to overseparate their kits
I WOULD LOVE TO DO IT TOO
Well done, but i recommend you using paint retarder for metallic paints
Thanks. Yes, some retarder can be beneficial to slow down the drying time of acrylic paints, if it's warm and air humidity is low.
Great work , great channel. Subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
nice video, thanks
Thanks!
Reminds me of the F86 Sabre. I think that was the number of it. I could be wrong. Let me know if i'm right. Thanks
It's predecessor the Mig-15 and the F-86 Sabre are from the same era.
Looks great. I'm going to make the model yet it won't look that good :(
Thanks! You can do it! Mine ain't perfect either.

Not bad, but why not use an airbrush?
it is really expensive for me, so i think he has the same problem
I have a few reasons, but no short answers...
