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.

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 always enjoyed your featured articles in Model Airplane Monthly and Scale Aircraft Modeler, JH.

Cool kit. It’s about time I build a Soviet jet also. Great work as always.

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!

I do like these Arabic air-forces MiGs. Had to get one! Following along keenly to see how it goes together Jamie.

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.

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?

@thescalemodellingcafe 2 ай бұрын

Yep, adhesion is fine

The atom paints are superb. May I ask what the blue glue is please?

@thescalemodellingcafe 2 ай бұрын

It's from Ammo, regular extra thin but blue.

Is A-Stand rebranded Alclad, or do you know if they've changed the formula?

@thescalemodellingcafe 2 ай бұрын

They've tweaked a few of the shades but I think most are the same

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.

How the heck did you get that home in your suitcase without damage…..?

@thescalemodellingcafe Ай бұрын

In a plastic box packed with plastic bags to absorb the shock. It works a treat.

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 👍

@thescalemodellingcafe 2 ай бұрын

Its just blue glue from Ammo, it behaves exactly like normal glue but being coloured can be very useful at times
