I wonder if Eduard would pass on the 1/72 MiG-21 project to Special Hobby ? Regards Robert

What would be the best way to make a MiG-25P using the ICM kit. Regards Robert

Hi, this is the Hasegawa 1/72 F-16B kit backdated to the earlier version using the CAS Viper decal sheet. Regards Robert

Hi Rob, the cutaway drawing had been stapled inside so is at the beginning and is folded up. The scale (?) drawings which are also folded up are at the end of the colour section and beginning of the black and white section. I wonder is someone had removed them ? Regards Robert

I have the Japanese publication Koku-Fan dated August 77, Vol.26 No.9. It has a picture montage from when it landed at Hakodate Airport on the 6th Sept, being surrounded and inspected by people. It was covered in a very large orange sheet and the insignia and number was covered over with paper. It was then moved to a corner of Hakodate Airport then an hanger was constructed around it.

Hi Kursad, any movement on posting to the UK ? Regards Regards

George, is the masking sheet die cut or do you have to cut it yourself ? Regards Robert

The Phantom anniversary at RIAT was a sight to behold especially as you did not know what to expect (pre, pre, pre internet days). The Finemolds F-4EJ and F-4EJ Kai have arrived to the importer in the UK so looking forward to them. Regards Robert
