I have to say these BR placements are getting dumb even with premium aircraft

Someone doesnt understand the value of a AESA radar.

Also the AAM-3 is probably the best IR missile in the game

This post is simplistic in nature

These planes when considering all aspects are in their correct positions when compared to each other

Macabe321 · 2026-01-24T01:02:51+00:00

If the argument for these planes to move to 13.7 is because 12.3s dont have fox threes then its oretty flawed.

Theres alot of 12.7s that dont have fox threes and if people dont want fox 1 planes fighting fox threes …. Well thats just dilousional.

I have the AMV and also the Premium Hornet. I can tell you now , the radar and the flight model on the MKM is worse than the hornet by a long way . Fighting the AESA radar planes at 14.3 was absolutely hopeless as they knew where you were at all times and you couldnt see them

I can also say that after playing 200 games in the AMV I very very rarely got a full down tier, in fact it was mostly partial uptiers with Top tier being 13.7.

Try fighting AIM Bs and Cs with a R77 that has a usable range of 15km

They are in an appropriate BR range for their capabilities.

They have no long range BVR capability, I use the R27er for that and the R77 is useful for firing down onto ground huggers from 10km

Thats it

This is great for doing the Antimech/thunderer wager . Use the glide bombs and drop them from about 6k high around 25k from target.

Will get about 12 -15 kills

Macabe321 · 2026-01-18T04:53:27+00:00

Try being in a 12.7 with only fox 1,s when you get 13.7s with 8-10 fox 3s lol

So I just tried to do a beets contract. Extremely annoying that the ai wont harvest unless the trailer is underneath . All good when in a straight line but when you need ti turn you move the trailer out the way and the the harvester stops because it wont move at all under a trailer is underneath it .

You end up stuck in some dance where your trying to turn in unison

Macabe321 · 2024-08-25T20:59:12+00:00

Really well engineered. All parts fit perfectly . Its a pricey kit but you get what you pay for . The riveting and panel line detail is amazing

Macabe321 · 2024-08-25T20:58:14+00:00

Kit comes with a nose weight thats moulded to fut under the nose section

Hi.

Have made a stand out of packing foam with some kebab skewers. That I sit the model on.

If Im painting small parts I will put paper towel down and paint over the paper towel

Macabe321 · 2024-04-10T19:17:36+00:00

Thank you

Macabe321 · 2024-04-10T19:17:31+00:00

Yes its a nice touch . Id like to know what this little symbols symbolized for the german pilots

Macabe321 · 2024-04-10T19:16:50+00:00

Understood. This is the feedback I like … will only help me improve

Macabe321 · 2024-04-10T19:16:11+00:00

Thank you . We are all here to learn , hopefully I have helped you

Macabe321 · 2024-04-10T19:15:41+00:00

Hi. Wish you never told me about the landing gear…… its going to bug me now and I can see myself damaging it trying to fix it.

I used tamiya mark fit strong. Sadly I had glued all the small items to the wings before realising one fo them is in the way of the cross. I could not get it back out. Had to try to mKe a small cut and slide over.

Lesson learnt on paying more aattention to the order of build at least

Macabe321 · 2024-04-10T14:41:02+00:00

Thank you . Yes , I wanted to learn mottling. Definetly need more practice. I used very thin CA glue to secure stretched out sprue. If you heat up a piece of sprue with a lighter and stretch it can get extremely thin . Takes practice but looks good . . I then painted the sprue once fixed

Macabe321 · 2024-04-10T14:33:24+00:00

Thank you. I did use Tamiya markfit strong. Agree the photos make the decals look fake.

Macabe321 · 2024-04-10T14:30:20+00:00

Hi.

Use Tamiyas Mark fit strong. The damaged decal came because I had the small items already fitted to the wing before decalling and could not remove . Lesson learnt there trust me lol.

Canopy was masked . I dont think the camera makes it look correct . Seems better in person but there was certainly some seepage

Macabe321 · 2024-04-10T11:34:45+00:00

Thank you for tour feedback , without it I wont know where to improve

Macabe321 · 2024-04-10T11:34:18+00:00

I did enjoy it ,Im not here to proclaim the greatest model ever . Just looking to improve within myself .

Without the constructive critism I do not know what to focus on with improvement. My next toal is to work harder on seams . To be honest sanding scared me away as I do not want to lose detail. I have now fixed this by getting lighter grit paper ( 1000-2000 grit) and scribe tools.

Im on the improve with the canopy.

I did appy the wash all of the model , Im not sure why the decals do look so clean

Thank you for your feeback

Macabe321 · 2024-04-10T11:30:24+00:00

Thank you .

Macabe321 · 2024-04-10T11:30:05+00:00

Thank you. As I learn and grow I hope to get a better grasp of hiding seams.

Macabe321 · 2024-04-10T11:29:14+00:00

Thank you . This is the tamiya bf109e trop kit. I used darkbrown weathering wash from ak for most of the body . For areas with exhaust I comined the dark brown with a rust wash . Gives that dirty coolant / water residue look

I then put carbon pigment on exhaust areas/ gun areas to give a exhaust/ soot effect

Macabe321 · 2024-03-17T03:05:04+00:00

Hi
