    Joe's Trumpeter 1/72 Mig-29C Fulcrum

    I may try that then. I always leave them off to do the decals and then fit the pylons.

    Joe's Trumpeter 1/72 Mig-29C Fulcrum

    Looking good; the mottling is coming through well. Are the pylons fixed already? Most kits seem to have teeny-tiny decals for those, so do you put those on after the pylons are already fitted?

    Worst /best kit you’ve built.

    The best, I remember with great fondness, was the Tamiya 1/48 A10C - but that was from doing it 40+ years ago - the last one I made before I went to Uni and took a 'break' for the next 30+ years. Most recently, the Eduard 1/72 F6F - that got me back into the building bug. Worst, without...

    Chris' F-Toys 1/144 MiG-21 F conversion

    The magnifier is one thing; the sausage fingers are my problem. That and my complete lack of any musical talent explain why I am not a pianist, I guess. How many variants are you planning?

    MiG 17 Fresco..... 'Bloomin MiGs everywhere GB'

    Don't you just hate it when everything is all done up and you think you have enough weight, to then find out you don't? It's a nice little build, Paul, and as Tony says, a different set of markings.

    BOATMANS B58 HUSTLER IN 148th scale with lights

    Not really followed along here Chris, but that is a fantastic result with the lights lit up. You should be very proud of that.

    Geoffs Airfix 1/48 North American F-86F Sabre.

    I think you've got the level of weathering just right there, Geoff, that is a lovely little aircraft and finish - I may add this to the list for when I finally start reducing my stash (at current rate, somewhere around 2035) - so before HS2 anyway.

    GB idea

    I have a Tamiya or two - I'm provisionally in. I have an RAF Mustang, which I was thinking of doing in the US Icons. This would be a good GB for it. I may have a 109 as well. So yeah, count me in.

    Pauls MiG 17....Airfix 1/72

    A lovely little model that. You can absolutely see this and the Sabre as the same-era aircraft right?

    Chris' Trumpeter 1/144 Chengdu J-7E

    Wow, they really are tiny - and then you do major surgery on them too? I stick to 1/48 generally to avoid the fiddly bits in 1/72 - I have no idea how you work on these, but I am very impressed nonetheless.

    Neil's Eduard 1/48 Mig-21 PF

    No no, the one that isn't painted is the GB. The half-complete one is my 2016 Mig-21 GB :) The unpainted one with masking tape is the GB. Next task is to sort out the brass rod for in-flight.

    Steve's Airfix 1/72 Mig 29A Fulcrum

    Nice progress, and to my untrained eye, that looks like a good exhaust nozzle.

    Neil's Eduard 1/48 Mig-21 PF

    And this is the 'not quite finished' model:

    Neil's Eduard 1/48 Mig-21 PF

    If you look at the chat thread, I have comments in there! I am still 'building' that Mig-21 too! I'll add a pic tomorrow, but life interrupted that build at the time - I may go ahead and finish it after this one is complete. TBH, it is probably 3/4 complete now so I do not have a good excuse.

    Neil's Eduard 1/48 Mig-21 PF

    Got two of them in the stash - waiting for a new GB where they fit!

    Proud parent....update on Junior

    Belated congrats to Junior - doing a degree now is a lot different to my day when the grant covered everything, so that is a whole lot of extra stress. But those grades are outstanding; best of luck for a long and fulfilling future career for Junior.

    Chris' Trumpeter / Anami Ye-2 & Ye-4 Modifikatsiya

    Good grief! And nobody would have noticed either.
