  1. I purchased this kit the other day, looks great. The paint finish is brilliant!
  2. Great work on the paint scheme! The ESCI F-5A is one of my favourite kits.
  3. My guess would be these versions are based on the 32nd releases that have been around for a while. Good to see a great aircraft in a more manageable scale!
  4. I really enjoyed building the K-8 and you have done a fantastic job on yours!
  5. Good start. I like the pose of the backseater, he appears confounded by his instruments!
  6. Fantastic work! It's a shame that HB couldn't have included more guides for the camo, but you've done a good job in making it look right!
  7. Some superb modelling and painting here, not to mention the fantastic choice of subject!
  8. Great model! The aluminium finish is excellent.
  9. A truly great result of a great aircraft. Well done!
  10. Some of the pictures that Julien posted are of the Chinese JJ-5 (Pakistani, Sri Lankan and Zimbabwean), which is a 2-seat version of the MiG-17. As a result, the fuselage is longer, the wings are different and there is a prominent lip at the top of the intake, so can't be made OOB with the HB kit.
  11. The Su-25 'African' has been announced for a while and a separate decal sheet was released by Kopro. New mould MiG-21 is interesting , good to see Kopro are still around with new releases!
  12. That's good, I'm not too keen on the Airfix sea harrier and I wouldn't know what to do with the paint they provide! Looks like Airfix will be getting a bit of my money this year
  13. Me too. I'm really pleased to see the dropped slats! Hopefully, there will be Argentine markings in the standard boxing, not just the dogfight doubles.
  14. I've used them to clean up canopies after progressively sanding to remove seams (I stop at P1500). I use the coarse and follow with the fine, I didn't bother with the finish. I've also used them to remove scratches, but like a fine grit sandpaper, if the scratches are too deep it won't work. That said, they are useful for polishing plastic and paintwork. HTH
  15. I would be interested in African and South American MB-326 operators, would go nicely with the 1/72 Italeri re-issue.
