    Chris's 1/144 Ye-2 Conversion

    Well, I can say, apart from some little filler to lose some more extraneous panel lines, and the canopy natch, I'd say this build is about done And it actually stands on it's own three legs! And I did, indeed, add the airbrakes So now we just have to see how the paint job goes...

    Papa695s Zvezda 1/48 SU-25 Frogfoot

    As for the ASCC reporting names, it's interesting how many of them were happily adopted by the Russians and co. after the fall of the Wall. Flankers and Fulcrums and Havocs (oh my). And then the Czechs started painting m issile toting frogs on the tails of their Su-25s#

    See Neil, you missed the obvious one 'Migs and Sukhois and Yaks, oh my!'

    Rick’s 1/72 Airfix Junkers Ju52 - a rite of passage build

    Oh, now you've gone and done it! BTW, Tante Ju is visible centre screen right from the beginning of the shot

    Yep, the 'Where Eagles Dare' theme plays unbidden in my head every time I see this box art

    Chris's 1/144 Ye-2 Conversion

    Well now. The build is actually complete The undercarriage legs needed to be shortened considerably to get the right height, and the actuators on the main legs, though nicely detailed, would sit too low, so rod replacements. I was going to paint the main wheels separate, but I needed to see...

    Italeri 1/72 Macchi mc202 Folgore

    Can't quite decide whether I prefer the bigger or smaller spots, but the larger ones do more closely resemble a couple of photos. Now he says that..! At least the 202s don't seem to have used the 'poached egg' schemes like MC.200s and G.50s Does look good though. Looking forward to the...

    Letov s16 in 1/72 KP models

    AModel. Would it kill them to have locating pins and mounting holes. Ooh, look, lots of mounting points on this KP! Yay Coming together very nicely

    Letov s16 in 1/72 KP models

    A first for me to inspire someone else to a build! My ego is suitably boosted! This beast has very long, narrow wings... A very good start on the interior, nice wood effect. Me, I use 1 mm Tamiya tape for seatbelts in almost all my builds, saving the Italian stuff. Just needs a tiny dash of...

    Chris's 1/144 Ye-2 Conversion

    And so, it now looks like a 'plane, rather than an all aluminium death tube! What it actually looks like is a Sukhoi-7! Well, at the 1954 Victory parade flypast, it was mistaken for a Sukhoi (not that there any Sukhois of that layout even in service at the time!) The advantage of the MiG-21...

    Chris's 1/144 Ye-2 Conversion

    Hang on to your hats folks. I'm almost finished. Though I may regret a step too far So, as I've got so many of these F7-IIs to make into prototypes, I've had to come up with a repeatable method for the shorter, thinner, nose, and so... I've cut the nose back a little further, and used the...

    Yep, that metallic green finish is really something

    Italeri 1/72 Macchi mc202 Folgore

    Y'know, It's rare to see a 202 in a giallo mimetico on verde mimetico Metropolitan scheme, rather than the usual Orientale / desert colours, so I'm full of praise for your choice. Having said that, I've always wanted to do one of my 202s in an interesting 'combination' scheme I've come across...

    Italeri 1/72 Macchi mc202 Folgore

    Is it better that leg hair catches the pinged etch, rather than the carpet monster? I think we know the answer to that one! Just be careful of those dropped scalpel blades...

    Geoffs Trumpeter 1/48 MiG-3

    Excellent choice, sir. Which paint scheme were you thinking of?

    Chris's 1/144 Ye-2 Conversion

    So, the wings have had to be shortened by 3 mm to get the correct span. They're not an exact crossover with the MiG-19 Filling, filing and sanding worked pretty well. Might re-scribe some of the lines before attaching. The unmodified wing is on the left, and I might take a simpler route to...

    Chris's 1/144 Ye-2 Conversion

    Okay, here we go, quite a bit further with some inspiration and not making planned missteps I did think I was going to have to do a few cut and shuts, but lining things up with the 1/144 plan of the F-13, I discovered the nose, without the nose-cone, was about the right length, but it would...
