I have never seen Corgi's one so I cannot judge. But printing yellow in larger area is not an easy task to handle.

We have adopted similar procedure of the F-4 for the A-4.

So it is up to individual collector's judgement that it is good enough or acceptable or not.

Hi,

To print large area of yellow is a difficult task to handle. I have never seen other manufacuter's one so I am not able to judge.

The F-4 has adopted similar procedure like the A-4.

Hence, it is up to the individual's collector's judgement that whether it is good enough or acceptable or not.

I believe HM should have the duty to produce products that clients think it deserve their money after all.

I think that TFM's color brightness on their digital image needs adjustment...the blue and the yellow both look equally brighter than all the other photos I've seen of this model...hmm

if anyone wants to improve the yellow trying coating those areas with some future. it will bring the colour out and make it more glossy.

I thought about doing that. Perhaps when I can afford a new airbrush, I'll give it a try.

no airbrush needed. Future floor wax can be hand applied.

[firefighterpilot1]

I was thinking of using a gloss coat for models. Never used future floor wax.

[zed550]

future is really good stuff,the more coats you apply the more glossy it gets.
as pointed out you get good results just with a brush.
the colour blue that is used on blue angels jets is apparently an automotive paint also it does seem to change in hue due to the difference in light.

Hi,

I have taken another look at the A-4 and F-4 Blue Angles done.

For the A-4, the yellow color of the letters and the wing tips do not match so well. We regret and apologise on this.

For the F-4, overall speaking it is better.

Thank you for pointing out about the quality problem for us.
