Will be the FAP ship 695 with the large sharkmouth! Those are Albatros decals. Take a look at who provided the information on the Peruvian Hinds (on the last page). ;) Please be aware that FAP-695 is now an Mi-35P (cannon armed Hind) with jungle green camouflage.

Patrick_Nevin Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Can I play? Knee deep in projects for the next couple of weeks but would like to get involved with Pucaras after that. Let me declare a Spec Hobby 72nd for starters :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sharkmouth Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Do you have any picts of FAP-695 in it's current configuration? While I do have many photos, I won't share them as they negate their publication value. However, many can be found on the Internet as well as a video: http://www.airliners...ddea5d69b68a287 FAP-696 http://www.airliners...ddea5d69b68a287 Regards, Edited January 18, 2012 by sharkmouth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnopfor Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I like the new scheme. Are these new build or upgraded Mi-25's to Mi-35 standard? Those taped up areas I would assume would be national insignia and fin flash? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Those taped up areas I would assume would be national insignia and fin flash? These are new replacement aircraft. The taped up areas cover the Peruvian fin flash on the vertical tail fin, national roundels (above the left wing & below the right one), and the word Peru on the sides.

Old Man Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I will be doing a Curtiss Hawk of the Chilean Air Force in the late twenties/early thirties of the last century. This was the first export fighter order Curtiss booked, for a total of sixteen machines, eight P-1A in the first batch, and eight P-1B in the second. P-1A P-1B The build will be mostly a scratch-build, though I will be employing wings and struts from a Monogram Curtiss P-6E kit. It will be in 1/72. I will not be commencing work on it for a couple more weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChippyWho Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Howdy, decided to hit up the Ghost Town GB as my first Group Sex -SORRY, BUILD venture. Then totally couldn't decide which of 3 possible subjects to field, gave up & came here. I'd like to be considered for a 1:48 Hawker Sea Fury in Cuban strip, please. Best wishes to all participants, enjoy the habaneros! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
