discussion HobbyBoss 1/72 Mikoyan MiG-15bis Fagot (80263)

[davecov]

Having suffered a bad case of modeller's block last year I decided to buy some relatively cheap and cheerful kits to knock out every now and then. One of them is the HobbyBoss 1/72 Mikoyan MiG-15bis Fagot (80263) that has been built OOB.

A nice little build that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Nice job dave , a great little mojo restorer

 

[Dave Ward]

Dave,
these HobbyBoss models are great for restoring mojo! I've made a few in the past, and I have a couple in the stash, the Dornier Do 335 being worth a look. The detail on them is very good, the fit is superb - and the price is right!
What's on the bench next?
Dave

Great result. Hope the mojo has returned.

Thanks everybody. Yes, my mojo returned earlier this year but in order to not lose it again, when I feel I am getting a bit bogged down with a build, I am breaking out a quick build.

Dave @Dave Ward, I am currently doing work on my huge Hobbyboss Dora Railway Gun, on a Revell '76 Torino and a Gloster Meteor. Only when I have finished the Torino and Meteor will I break out the next of my planned quick builds. They are the Avis 1/72 Bristol Type 72 Racer (BX 72030), Avis 1/72 Short S.1 Cockle (BX 72031) (a second one to join the one I have recently finished), HobbyBoss 1/72 Lavochkin La-7 (80236), HobbyBoss 1/72 Republic F-84E Thunderjet (80246) and a HobbyBoss 1/72 Republic F-84G Thunderjet (80247) and an Airfix Yak-9D.

Chris @boatman Dora hasn't been forgotten and I am currently painting the base. However, there isn't anything to report at the moment. Don't worry though, just the thought of you nagging me is enough to keep me going with Dora.

WELL Dave if the naggin worked then i'll keep on as that dora is a model not to be missed i love the huge size of the thing
