Jovac Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 The first scale model was completed this year. The old Airfix models, very dear to Me. The scale model represents the plane of the Yugoslav Air Force, used 60-ies. Here are pictures, enjoy. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luis Alfonso Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Hi Jovac!!!! Congratulations for this great job very well done on this lovely kit. I was thinking about a nice camouflage version for this bird and your choice is for me, a wonderful dress for this old bird!!!...Liked a huge lot the way you have finished your kit, very clean and pristine condition example, and was wondering about the colours you have used to replicate your build. Thank you very much for sharing!!! Cheers from Guatemala, Luis Alfonso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vh-bob Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Lovely build , lovely kit. There must be a story as to why Airfix have never re-released this one. Well Done, Trev. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 That looks very smart and one doesn't see YAF versions very often. This is another kit that I'm surprised Airfix haven't re-released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invidia Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Great looking model. The old airfix kit has scrubbed up well. Nice to see a sabre in different colours than US. Looks good in the camo. Edited January 13, 2017 by invidia Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viscount806x Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Regarding Airfix re releasing this kit, I contacted the marketing team last year suggesting that they might consider doing this again in the not to far future. I wanted one at the time (last year) and had to seriously battle on Ebay for it. I think perhaps the Hase kit might be slightly better but the Airfix one was very well thought of when first released back in the middish 1970s, along with that other gem, the F-80C Shooting Star. I still reckon that Airfix (Hornby) could make some hard currency with a fresh release. Nige B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
