I got this kit last year in the SMF kit swap at Cosford. There's not many parts so should be a fairly quick build when I start it.

No problems Polux Im surprised theres not many building in any of the GB/SIG and SSIG so far

Look forward to this Ian. Unfortunately work is manic and I just have not had any model time since late last year. In the meantime I get my fix by watching you guys producing your magnificent results.

I remember building this a few years ago.


I will be following this.

 

[papa 695]

I've been looking at pictures of this one online. The instructions call out for a light grey colour but I've seen NMF on the very same aircraft on the box art. So not sure which one to do.

 

[papa 695]

Finally made a start on this one, there's not much detail in the cockpit so I'm thinking of putting two figures In and have it in a flying pose. Also I'm going to paint it in NMF.

And I found these two pilots in the spares draw, they will do nicely for this one.

Just caught this Ian and I'm liking what I see


I am still looking for a Korean Jet and I was thinking the Shooting Star........ May have to re think this for my entry.


Sabres have been done and so has F51s so I'll have to put my brain to work.


I'll tag along if that's ok ( may get some ideas )


Regards


Robert

 

[papa 695]

Glad to have you along Robert

 

[papa 695]

I've got the pilots painted and fitted, also got the underside all buttoned up as this is going to be an inflight build

I really like the work your are putting into this Ian.


The additions of the pilots make the cockpit so much more interesting.

Pity you didn't get it Tony it's a simple kit not many parts, but some very nice detail. Although it's not Russian it's right up your street.

 

[Robert1968]

This is looking very nice and with the addition of the pilots gives it more realism.


I'm liking this a lot Ian
