From Sprue Bros in the States, a Sword Lightning F.3 in 1/72, I also have an Airfix F.3 coming from Kingkits so there may be some jiggery pokery with the F.1 tail on the Sword sprues & some Modeldecal Lightning sheets I have in my future. Steve.

A nice result Ryan. Having followed most of your WiP thread, I know how much work went into achieve this. 👍 Steve.

Really nice. I've got one of these in stock & will use this tread for inspiration & guidance come the day. Be a shame to waste all those engine bits. Steve.

A good looking result, especially on something so small. I've long liked the look of these & I reckon this captures that look really well. 👍 Steve.

Wasn't this one was it? Nice going with the Mosquito Chuck, I'm looking forward to the final reveal. Steve.

Message on their facebook page. Steve.

I did wonder that, nevertheless, at least a couple were painted up with Luftwaffe markings, near enough for me. Steve.

Brilliant, thanks for that, I think that has helped to make my mind up. Steve.

Thanks @Jure Miljevic they are out there for not too much so I might look into it, or try to find a 3. A quick search has given me Microscale MS72036 which appears to be available & has 3 different sizes of black over white letters & numbers so hopefully I can find something on that matches among those. 🤞 Steve.

I have a kit with markings for this aircraft, a Mig-21MF in some kind of commemorative marking for JG.1? Did it ever wear just the post unification markings without the shark mouth & commemorative marks, I'd like to do it like this rather with the extra adornment if possible. I find the idea of ex East German aircraft with the modern German Luftwaffe markings to be quirkily attractive. Steve.

First time I've dropped into this build from what I can see & I'm impressed like anything, both with Rogers conversion bits & your work Ali, it is looking really good. 👍 Suffering from a slight dose of profile cutter envy just now. I could never justify one but that doesn't stop me fancying the idea. A bit too spendy out here for me though. Steve.

Another great scheme & one I have in mind to do sometime. Steve.

A very smart job Tom, the IDF aircraft have some great schemes which this shows off really well. 👍 Steve.

A beautiful job on this, your paintwork especially is top shelf, your mods speak for themselves. It looks just right. 👍 Steve.

Nice job on that Eric, you've got a lovely finish there. For the mottling, may I suggest a smaller brush & maybe thin the colour you're going to mottle more, then build it up as you wish. Steve.
