  1. Nice work on the Tomcat. It seems You got the beast well tamed.
  2. Great work on the Phantom.
  3. Very nice work on the Phantom. Great attention to detail.
  4. One thing I dislike about Italeri MiG-29's is the windscreen. There really isn't much to do here, as I don't know if there is a replacement available. It's too small, the outline is incorrect and it spoils a bit the look of the MiG-29. I have a quick fix as I sand away the lower frame and make it seem a little bit bigger. You can almost see the outline of the lower frame as moulded by Italeri. Once I sanded all the seams, masked the clear parts it was time for a paintjob. I have decided on using Tamiya light royal gray for the ICM MiG. But once applied and dry It was
  5. The upper intakes take two or three filling sessions to remove all most of the imperfections. But they look very nice once done. Shame I can't scribe a straight line. In my defense, Humbroll putty, which is my putty of choice, isn't the best one to scribe lines in. ICM (note the panel lines on the kit in comparison to the Italeri) Italeri. Cockpits I decided on painting two different colours. The ICM got Vallejo RLM 78 (not 76, as it probably should be), and Italeri got Pactra 36375. Shame neither of the kits provide You with HUD. ICM (there are ac
  6. Lovelly project. Very nice scheme options.
  7. Very nice model. A very unusuall aircraft. If You didn't mention all the parts You took from different kits, a lot of us wouldnt know I bet.
  8. Very nice Scooter. And a very nice collection. Is it me, or is the windscreen on the HB kit slightly larger than Hasegawa?
  9. Nice pair. Its interesting to see an ODS era Mudhen being built.
  10. Lovelly pair. Love the adversary schemes on Scooters.
  11. Sorry, I had some error and couldn't post the entire part of my first post. where was I? Oh. Models. Well, the ICM kit is very similar to the Italeri kit. Not quite 100% the same, but a lot of parts could be made interchangable, such as the wings, vertical stabilators and intakes. Probably the clear parts too. Or even top to bottom halves of fuselage. Wonderfull. Although, really You can see the ICM seems to be like 1 - 2 mm shorter. ICM does have nicer panel lines. More accurate, sharper, thinner. And
  12. Hi there! So after my previous two projects, I've been wanting both something Polish, and something MiGgy. I was considering a MiG-21 multibuild, or the MiG-29's. Well. I kind of went both ways, starting three MiG-21's. I did forget to take some decent pictures, so I might post them here. They're 90% painted too, so I guess no real point of doing a WIP. I'll be done in a month or so (probably). But I still have a chance to do a -29 WIP. It fits very nice with my previous Hornet build. Double engined, twin tailed, canted outwards, highly manouverable, lousy range without f
  13. Oh amazing work. Some clever cutting You did there with the second cockpit. Great work.
  14. Lovelly work. Especially on the flaps. I think I never saw another E-6 in 1/72. Makes me want to finally but the E-3. BTW, there is just something soothing in red warning triangles on the sides of the intakes. You know, just in case You miss the huge fan.
  15. Very interesting scheme. I usually associate the G's with either Euro I scheme or Hill gray. Your SEA wraparound looks amazing!
  16. Looks stunning! The radome weathering looks especially lifelike.
  17. Thank You very much! Thank You very much! Thank You very much! I hope they are helpfull in even tiniest bit. I hear Hasegawa Flogger has better radome shape and canopy with a mirror.
  18. That is some lovelly work done. Amazing paintjob. I often leave this one little, insignificant detail that I did not want to add/remove/change. And always when I look upon a finished model my eyes are drawn to that detail. That teaches me to fix what I can because I'll regret it later. That panel seems to be the gun cover that stands too proud of the surface. Perhaps You can remove it, sand it from underside and reatach later?
  19. So, how about a couple of shots per model? 😉 Tornado: Su-20: Su-22's: They are very hard to photograph. Both suffer from too little contrast beween the main colours. Su-24: And the MiG-23's
  20. Your paintjob is amazing. Love all the discoloration and weathering of panels. Looks amazing.
  21. Wow, nice exhaust cans. Whoops. Sorry, my bad. Very nice model. The plain gray looks great with formation insignia. Very nice work.
  22. Very nice work. Love the colour You used. It really distinguishes itself from all the lgg/white and SEA schemed short nosed Phantoms. Phabulous.
  23. You can never go wrong with a Sundowner Tomcat. It looks just awesome!
