Finally done.

Kit: AFV Club 1/48 F-5F Tiger II
Decals: VFA from Malaysia, terrible in many areas
Aftermarket: Quickboost seats, pitot tubes and gun barrel
Paint: Decanted Tamiya AS-12 and Gunze acrylics

Difficult kit in some areas, most notably with the surface detail, great overall but really hard to keep looking so good. Also tricky in the exhaust area with poor alignment points.

This is my entry for this GB, It is the Condor model of the MiG-25P that has been converted using the Armory and Pavla sets to make it into a MiG-25 RB of the Iraqi Air Force. The decals come from the Linden Hill Iraqi Fighters sheet.

The build thread is here:- http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234973827-iraq-mig-25rb/

Heller 1/72 Aérospatiale SE-3160 alouette III

operated by the Lebanese Air Force (القوات الجوية اللبنانيةAl Quwwat al-Jawwiya al-Lubnaniyya)

L-220 C/N 1393. Unfortunately I don't have much more info than that. I've found two photos on the internet of this particular aircraft; it looks like it has had a VIP fit.
