Holy cow, that's cool! Lots of the 'usual suspects', but I'm really impressed by the particularly far-flung places. Madagascar? Mauritius? Niue? Mongolia? Kazakhstan? Ethiopia? And apparently the Pope came, too, since you've got a pin in Vatican City's flag. 😀

That's what I get for going off the half-remembered instructions from a single build ~25(!!!) years ago. 🙂

Translations are up on Hobby Search Japan https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/plamo/ , or you can translate the text in the images via Google Translate.https://translate.google.com/?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&op=images Nothing super interesting, though the text in the images is a little more detailed than on HSJ. The F-15J comes with pilot figures designed by Tamiya, with Japan-specific headgear. The Israeli F-15C is from the 1982 war (I thought those were mostly A/Bs?) The F-14B is... just an F-14B. Appropriate parts for the type, but nothing special. The F-4EJ

You're from Argentina? Have you ever encountered that knob-end who keeps posting under stupid fake personas on scale model discussion boards? Used to post here as "Uncle Uncool", "The Scaremonger", "Hubbie Marsten" and a bunch of others. He'll make up some new schtick, post for a while, then inevitably everyone realizes he's the same moron who has been banned a dozen times before, so he gets the boot. Always comes crawling back with some other dumb 'persona' though. Really, it's pretty pathetic when you think about it. Like, how pathetic does your life have to be to waste THA

Anybody have any idea about the relative reputations of the drawings from Aviation & Time vs DM(? the 1/35 drawings by Malkov)? I'm finding serious discrepancies between the two sets of drawings. Of course, there are also minor discrepancies between the different drawings from Aviation & Time, so I'm not really sure which to trust...

Googling 'airbrush patent 1908' shows the patent belongs to Paashe, along with a few useful pages. https://www.airbrushmuseum.com/airbrush_patents_14.5.htm https://www.airbrushmuseum.com/airbrush_lit_1915_paasche_cat_index.htm I'd guess it's a Paasche H, based on the 'H' on the body.

You could reach out to the person who printed the model in the OP. It wouldn't be hard to re-scale the larger prints.

To be fair to the builder, the instructions probably weren't ready when they had to build the display model. And they probably had a very short amount of time to build the model/s (it wouldn't surprise me if they had a few models to build in, like, a day), so no time for research. And as you suggested, they're just a worker, doing a job, building everything from Sopwith Camels to submarines, so they can't be expected to know the arcane details of every kit they have to slam together and photograph.

It's probably a spammer registering for the site.

Well it might be coming back: https://www.pink-unicorn.tv/jpsmodell-de In the mean time, this Flickr stream popped up in a Google search. Not sure if it's everything, but there are a lot of profiles. https://www.flickr.com/photos/70058423@N07/35860014711/in/photostream/

No, not at all. Apart from the obvious pylon/cockpit differences, there are a few panel line subtleties around the engine humps between the fighter and strike Eagles. There is zero reason to split it that way for the A/B/C/D - they're all the same. The only reason for that specific breakdown is that they're at least considering a Strike Eagle.
