Diego Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Hi folks, I just took new series of pics (for my article in one of Czech modelling magazines)...so, I could not resist to post few more pics of my cats here... these are those that have not made it to the "top ten" pics I selected for the magazine :D ) I hope you will not get extremely bored seeing more pics of the same models... Hi Jan, Once again, great photos of two phantastic models ;) Good to hear you are doing an IRIAF F-4E !!! :lol: I will send you soon the photos of the "041" together with the decal sheet soon, when ready ! Cheers Diego Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jan Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Hi Diego...nice to hear from you...! Yes, I am looking forward to pics of 041 very much! Btw... I discovered something veeery interesting re Iran-Iraq war... I have a picture of Iraqui Mirage F-1 with kill symbols of 14 downed Iranian airplanes on the nose (true or not, kill markings are there) :D ...I guess I am first in the world who has something like this, and such thing was not documented on any other Iraqui airplane!!! ...I am still trying to find more references on this specific plane... ...but 1/48 Dowran's F-4E will go paralelly with Mirage F-1 project(it has iranian roundels on it too :lol: ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am also working on a sheet including a.o. an IRIAF RF-4E with black belly and another recce bird with IIAF markings. Also the IRG Su-25 is slowly progressing... :lol: Cheers diego Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Diego Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Verrry good, Diego!!!BTW...may I have pic of that Iraqi MiG-21 you mention? ...you have my e-mail Hi Jan, Sorry, I don't have this photo- It was published (in monochrome) in a book about F-117 operations during "Desert Storm" ( don't remember the exact name - sorry!). However, you will find a very good profile of this bird in the acig site ( Iraqi AF story). Cheers Diego Quote Link to post Share on other sites
