Another in ICM’s range of paint sets, this time for use with any WWII US armoured vehicles.

The set contains the following 12ml paint pots; I have listed what I believe to be their intended uses, with designations from Specification 3-1 1943:

• 1041 Buff – Sand No.306 or Earth Yellow No.305
• 1027 Gun Metal Metallic – tracks
• 1071 Camouflage Green – Light Green No.321
• 1072 US Dark Green – Olive Drab No.319
• 2005 Black Primer – Black No.10
• 1001 White – White No.11

The back of the box has a couple of drawings showing suggested uses for each colour.

Paint colors used by Japan during WWII are elusive and always seem to be up for debate. ICM has added a set of Imperial Japanese Navy colors to their range of acrylic paint sets.

This set is packaged in a small rectangular box with images of the colors printed on the front. The back of the box features a profile of a Japanese ship with color call outs. This set includes five 12ml bottles of color and 1 17ml bottle of clear gloss. The bottles have twist-off caps and the opening is big enough to allow a popsicle stick to be used to mix the paint.

The colors in this set are as follows:

This review covers the final pack (pack 12) of the Agora Models Jaguar build. Please see parts 1 through 4 of this review for the first 11 packs and more information about the kit.

At long last, we have reached the final pack of this build, and it’s a doozy. Aside from having a fair number of new pieces to add to the model, we will also be bringing together all the various sub-assemblies that are currently littering our workspace or residing in containers nearby. Speaking of workspace, you will want to make sure you have plenty of it. I had to rearrange and tidy up the space I had before embarking on this final pack, and I could have used slightly more space.

This review covers packs 10 and 11 of the Agora Models Jaguar build. Please see parts 1, 2, and 3 of this review for the first 9 packs and more information about the kit.

Originally, this was going to be the final review for this build. But there was so much ground to cover that I decided to split Pack 12 into a separate review.

Pack 10 begins by finishing off the hood and fenders. First the “valances” (inner wheel wells?) are installed on the underside of each fender, and then the headlight covers and chrome trim are installed. This is, I believe, the first place that the instructions actually call for some white glue to hold the covers to the trim. I used Model Master clear parts cement, but any type of white glue would do the job so long as it is used sparingly. Once the covers are installed in the trim, the trim snaps into the fenders. Following this, the stone guard is assembled and installed to the underside of the hood, and the front underpanel is installed.

These sets from Yahu Models have intrigued me for a while now. This opportunity to do the review through IPMS was the perfect opportunity to try them out. I just happen to have a 1/24 Spit in my stash.
