    Pauls MiG 17....Airfix 1/72

    Very nice. Though the dark un-shape in the cockpit is kind of, disturbing

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

    Yeah, and nobody did, especially me, even when I sat the models on the fudging photos! Read the fudging description, ya durn fool!

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

    Well this is a mini bonus. The wings just pulled straight off. Did I forget to glue them? All these need is, one again, re-profiling the wheel bays, and the removal of the LE root extension Interesting, like the later -21s have a piece where the tailplanes were mounted higher still on the...

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

    And as an aside, I discovered the Area 88 models are made by Anami. They do a rather nice Buccaneer too, though those few still available are a bit too pricey...

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

    AAARGH! It was right there, right in front of me the whole time! In the photos and on the plans. And I didn't blinkin' notice until I came to planning the next mini-MiG, the Ye-50 Interceptor prototype with the added rocket engine. 'lengthened forward fuselage putting cockpit ahead of LE.'...

    Chris' Trumpeter 1/144 Chengdu J-7E

    Sorry, I've got to do it 'Dougal, these are small. Those are far away.'

    Chris' Trumpeter 1/144 Chengdu J-7E

    Ah, to hell with it. Yeah, I've gone and done it As I discovered from my Tintin Arado, this Humbrol spray yellow is not keen on stuff going on top of it. The tail cone needs some more Burnt Iron Still, these pictures make the 'plane look seventy-second not 144. Hmm... How about this Now...

    Okay, apparently Humbrol do a flexible masking tape, but I can only find that on Amazon, not on their own site. There's lots of different ones on eBay, but the only one I've found that looks like the one I'm using is by Guagemaster, though not in the 2mm size I used. The stuff I have is a bit...

    Chris' Trumpeter 1/144 Chengdu J-7E

    I've seen it advertised in Air and Military model mags, but that was more than a year ago now, I think. I'll see if I can find out I'm also thinking I'm not going to do the cheat line, though I do have some very fine pens to use. It's only on the drawing of the scheme (and no photos!), and...

    Chris' Trumpeter 1/144 Chengdu J-7E

    Took me about three hours to get all the masking on, using three different types of tape. Still the best stuff I've got, for adhesion, is this flexible stuff that bends to shape and goes around corners, which I got off my brother-in-law, and neither of us know the maker! Might use that to align...

    My first 1/24 figure

    Y'know, you've inspired me to dig out a couple of MasterBox car girl figures I hadn't finished a loong while back, that were supposed to complete a (poorly finished) car vignette for one of my TTRPG characters. Time for drilling and model putty...

    My first 1/24 figure

    See, now you've gone and done it! (Palpatine voice) Once you do a ship, the circle will be complete (Except for a tank, maybe. With digital camo decals...)

    Chris' Trumpeter 1/144 Chengdu J-7E

    So on with the overall spray Then give it a good few hours to dry properly, though I probably should have left it overnight, buuut... Needs a little touch-up in a few places, and the mask missed a little sliver or two (that always happens!), but overall, I think that's worked out fine I did...

    So, here goes the most complex masking job I've ever done Probably And not forgetting the u/c doors. Though I probably could have done these by hand
