You get that alot with thunder model's PE copper and brass! The scammels are the same quite good if need a stronger bit of PE to.the easy bend copper PE the copper frets are good to keep hold of for making small parts from being copper easy to manipulate
My experiences with them has never been good, I've done a video in the past about them compared to other acrylics which feel free to check out in my video library. but in short I find his paints not to be user friendly and though MIG has released a few videos over the last year showing how easy it is to use, I find them to quite the opposite. These are paints that are so temperamental that if don't paint exactly like MIG does they don't want to work. They run, spider web or simply evaporate on the model surface if you do the slightest thing wrong. And their are so many paints out there that do the job just as good if not better then the MIG range so I don't see the point investing the time trying to make his products work. Least these are my feelings on this Shane.
its nice to see one of these up close, thanks for the review shane :) i think thunder models can make things so interesting for us, because so far they have released kits of weird, but very much desired vehicles.
ya they are hitting the market with the lesser seen subjects like Takom used to do, and great to see as might make manufacturers stop releasing the same kits again and again.
Nice review Shane. The kit looks really nice and well molded. The copper PE is interesting and I'm sure it will look great. Sure like to see the build when you get to it. Thanks for sharing and cheers to you.
thanks William, the kit is very nice and I will adding a few more of their kits to my stash when they are released. I have a nice little vignette in mind for this this little gem ;)
Good review Shane. Very interesting kit but in my opinion the detial level could be better. Pay your attention at seams after cutting the armour plates, it need to be reworked :) This kit is a solid base but require some additional work, after that it should comes out great.
Haha you'll love there scammels then if you love injection pin Mark's haha! There a pain in the fecking arse! That's only reason I held back on this kit to check a review first!
Mig Paint are Awesome i spray them about 15 to 20 psi and they go on so nice, you just have build up the layers Nice Review, Ive been thinking about getting this or the Mirror Models one which is prob crazy knowing Libor
thanks mate, glad you can get them to work, its just paint set that really does not do it for it me, but great to see that there people out there that like it

Good review, just wondering what is it that you don't like about Mig paints? I haven't used them myself.
My experiences with them has never been good, I've done a video in the past about them compared to other acrylics which feel free to check out in my video library.

Nice looking kit. Never heard of this brand until recently... very intrigued. AndI like the idea of copper for PE... much more maleable than brass.
ya I am looking forward to seeing how the copper behaves should be way easier to work with !
Cool subject! Look forward to the build.
thanks mate, should a cool build
Good review. Not heard of the company before. Need to look out for them, looks good generally.

Never heard of this company before but it looks a nicely detailed kit. What sort of price so their kits sell for?
thanks mate, their price range is at the 50buck mark depending on currency
