Hewy Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Just finished this in the nato warsaw pact group build, out of the box except for eduard mig 21 seatbelts ,scratch built ladder, and a couple of pilot figures by aires,and airscale cockpit decals ,the model built up really well, there were a few sink marks ,and a bit of flash otherwise the general fit was good ,the inspiration for the weathering came from a picture off the net of red 03 at hvalynka aerodrome in the 70s below ,it was my first go at a whole aircraft in alclad, Thanks everyone for moral support and enthusiastic comments, and those who contributed with hard to find links and other info, Cheers Glynn This one was taken just before it was finished 57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildeSau75 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Just wow - very impressive build of a rarely seen jet. The painting is top notch. Also like the way you presented it. Cheers, Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirageiv Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Glynn one of the best models I've seen in a while, a really amazing job, I love the 'feel' the figures bring to the scene. Was a pleasure to see it built up in the GB, what is next? David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whether to wait for the Yak-28PP Brewer now though.

I dont know if there is an importer of this kit james i asked mike at the Lms to import it for me as soon as it was available, he got 2 in and sold the other one before he got it! If you know what i mean, maybe hannants sell it now though, and yes i want a brewer I'm looking forward to that, june I've heard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
