I have built nearly all the MS style Mighty Minis (the new MM P-40 to go). The Mighty Mini T-28 Trojan builds much like all the other minis. If you’ve built the others, this will be very familiar – so I will leave the build details out except to say it is a very easy build if you’ve built anything else with Master Series build techniques.
The foam for SkyFX appears to be what used to be available as Maker Foam. I was extremely glad to see this as the graphics truly benefit by the ultra-smooth surface. The glossy, wax paper feel of this foam also will make it tremendously better in avoiding wrinkles when you mold it for shape in some parts. Huge thumbs up on the foam selection for SkyFX!
The printed graphics are truly beautiful. I paint everything I make because I like to think that until I crash something the first time, it is a form of art – especially designs done by the artist known as John Overstreet (@Splinter189). These SkyFX kits are a credit to John’s designs as Stephen Rosema’s (@Rasterize) artwork on the SkyFX kit is quite beautiful as well as accurate. From rivets, to exhaust stains, the detail is something I never could have hoped to achieve in my meager attempts are giving credit to historical aircraft with paint and decals.
I highly recommend these new kit types to the FT family and offer my thanks and appreciation to John Overstreet, Stephen Rosema, and the FT family for making them available.
P.S. After the Wuhan Flu debacle, I can’t wait to build a SkyFX AVG P-40 (pretty please) as a tribute not only to the to “Fei Hou” (Flying Tigers) in their incredible victories over the invading Japanese, but also having the satisfaction of seeing Chinese Nationalist markings on the wings and fuselage; reflecting my true feelings about Communist China.
