Łukasz GlińskiMy first encounter with Kelik's 3D decals didn't look very promising at the start.
But the final result (using the PVA glue) turned out better than expected.
Take a closer look at the ejection handle - it's printed on both sides! (I put it back to front of the cockpit)
I can only highly recommend this stuff 👍 And didn't even use the whole set 😄

CuajeteA very nice decoration, Łukasz!
I also plan to do the same using Syhart decals, better than those included in Revell. And the special set for this decoration of MRP paint cans (MRP-207).
If you can find them I recommend them.
Very nice cockpit 👍

Łukasz GlińskiThank you and welcome everyone!
@Cuajete: I already have a BilModel paint bought a loooong time ago. If you have Syhart decal (I assume it's the same as Revell's one is printed by them) you need only the brighter orange of the two included in MRP set. The darker one is for those who want to spray the lion themselves.

CuajeteŁukasz, Shyhart decals are not the same as Revell decals. Shyhart decals reproduce the color effect of this decoration better than Revell decals. I was going to use the decals from the Revell kit, but I was able to get the Shyhart one at a good price (I had already gotten the paints from MRP before). If you don't have Shyhart decals, Revell decals are not that bad. I don't know BilModel's paintings. I'm curious to see the result 👍
In any case I'm sure you'll do a great job as always, 😉

Łukasz GlińskiI have to admit I'm surprised a lot, I thought they're the same 😮 Good to know, thx
I have only a single bottle of BilModel paint and yes that's the demo orange - seems to be a lacquer luckily (tested using various thinners), so it should work well, fingers crossed.

CuajetePerfect, Łukasz! 👌
No, it's not the same. I was looking for the review where I saw a comparison between both decals, but I can't find it.
I'm looking forward to seeing the result of that demo 🙂

Łukasz GlińskiWelcome Jan & Nicolas
El está aquí, amigo! (see pic #6)
But the fit was terrible 😄

ClementNice work. I see that you and I have the same issues with the kit.
The fit on the exhaust isn't great either, you should consider attaching it while you can still fill and sand.

Łukasz GlińskiThat is not so great news, but I forgot this one tbh. Thanks a lot for the reminder, will have a look at its fit 👍
PS. Ugh, it doesn't fit at all indeed - the rear fuselage has round cross-section, while Revells exhaust is not round at all. I think I'll order aftermarket one.

CuajeteI think this is the first time I've seen problems like this in this tool. I hope there are no more serious problems ahead.
Go on! 💪

Łukasz GlińskiWell, I have to correct myself, after couple of test fits I think I found a way to have it looking good, but yes it's tricky.

VincentI build a f-16d form this tool but a much later boxing. It had a lot of flash but the fit was not bad at all. I did use the f-16c jet exhaust so maybe that one is better.
