I recently built the Hasegawa E39 kit as a 1991-era Desert Storm jet. Great kit without the "modern" GPS antennas, etc. I loaded it up with Eduard CBU-87s and finished it with Two Bobs decals.

Cool camo on a unique subject - thanks for sharing your work! -
Really nice work !!!

Nice but pricey 😮. Hoping that Mini Craft Collection is working on the early seats; their Mk.H7 seats are really nice.

Just finished this old Heller kit, my advice is don't try this at home - it was a ton of work to make it presentable. In addition to mucho filler and sanding, I used Eduard etch in the cockpit, ResKit missile pylons (these are amazing) and Linden Hill decals with Begemot stencils. I cut and dropped the flaps and also repositioned the horizontal stabs to an at-rest position. I stole the four missiles from my Zvezda SU-27SM kit (which looks to be a much easier build).

Whoa, nice for the 48ers, but our 72nd F-4B has to be close behind !!!

Wow that is one ugly prototype, but your build, paint, and weathering are very well-done!

Just finished this Mig-21, decorated in Finland's as-delivered paint scheme. Overall fit of the Zvezda kit is good, but I needed to treat the speed brakes with some 240 grit to blend them into the fuselage. I sprayed the camo freehand (with several touch-up passes), and used the kit decals along with stencils from Begemot. The large pitot is from Master - the vanes are the smallest parts I have ever worked with! Frank

+1 on the Eduard recommendation... I am using their CBU-87 set on my 1/72 Beagle.
