Nice work Werner.

As for the main colour I'm not sure what to suggest, I used up an old Aeromaster Soviet air defence grey which is the right colour. I know Akan make sets for Soviet/Russian aircraft but the one for the grey looks a little dark to me, I think it's based on the colour for the Mig-31 which I think is a slightly different colour but I might be wrong.

Not much help really, sorry.

so I finally decided on using some 2:1 mix of Revell 371 and 76.

 

still need to paint some parts a bit more (to better cover up my pre-shade orgy ;) ), maybe I will also alter the shade a bit to get some weathering effects.

I think decaling can start, 

some touch-ups necessary after several months collecting only dust....

 

 

apart from that, 

 

if you have problems seeing my old photobucket links to photos, for the time being this embedded link fixs worsk quite well :

thanks!

 

some decals...

 

ICM proposes to use Egyptian markings with stars, as worn during thr UARAF time (United arab republic airforce)

Begemot to use Egyptian markings without stars or Eagle...

 

I anybody comes up with good photos of these planes, I am ready to change the markings or build a second :D

at the moment it is stenceling time......

 

red and black fo rearly Foxbats,  as opposed to red and blue for later ones.

--> Begemot stencils it is! they offer both options :)
