Sue me, the weather is horrible, a typhoon must be lurking around, what else than staying in and upgrading my display?

Here are the results:

I like it a lot! 1/200 and 1/400 is too small to have people, but 1/72 is great. Are those 1/72 Hasegawa figures?

I hope we get some Su-27/37's soon.

Looks great! Keep up the good work & keep posting your photos!!!

thanks for the feedback!
I am waiting for the Su-27 as well!
One detail about the Hasegawa people: I painted them with enamel paint, and I didn't have many colours available, so half-way through the painting process, I realised I should have used "flat" colours (coded XF by Tamiya)...now the guys, except the pilots "dressed" in green, are wearing shiny sinthetic uniforms...since I don't want to go through the painting process again, is there anyway to "coat" them with "antishine" paint?

Yes there is. Either dull coat or flat coat. It's clear, but dries VERY dull. It's designed just for what you need--to make shiny/glossy paint appear dull. Must spray it though, doesn't brush well. Just find a can, and spray!

Tamiya doesn't make any, but I know Floquil and Testors do.

Thanks David for the information. I will have to work hard because here in Taipei we basically get Japanese stuff like Tamiya.
If I can't find any of that "dull coating" then I will probably have to live with "Happy Shiny People" on my display!

Can you get Gunze-Sangyo? They call it Flat Topcoat. And Irisawa makes "Flat Clear".
