Thank you The numbers and overpainted KFOR lettering were cut as masks and sprayed while the flags were printed on a green stuff world white decal paper for a laser printer.Its a lovely decal paper highly recommended.Super thin and easy to use.Responds great with decal solutions

That’s turned out wonderfully well Patrice. An excellent early Aussie Mirage, always so nice to see. Cheers and well modelled.. Dave

I'm going to give the Eduard Mig21PFM a go, PE parts that came with the kit. I don't like PE parts was never good at it.

Fun fact: the cockpit canopy has its hinge at the front on all varients, because of the presence of the lift fan on the B model.

Phantastic work...as usual 😁 Alex

It is a great result, natural metal needs natural sunlight. If you could click some outdoor pictures, it will surely look impressive.

Sounds like one of the very early Australian manufactured PR40 conversions that were operating at that time. The first was active (especially in the NEI from June 1944. https://www.keymilitary.com/article/mossies-over-east-indies

does that include "bitcoin"

Anorher.

In his book "With the Fifth Army Air Force" James P Gallagher has a photo of an Australian PR Mosquito (Single stage engines, Needle blade props) on the ground at Middleburg, New Guinea, NEI strip some time before October 22, 1944. He comments "I have never seen a photo elsewhere or heard tell of this plane serving in the Pacific war against Japan". The date strikes me as somewhat early for RAAF Mosquito operations as well. Any further information on this aircraft would be appreciated. e.g. Australian or British production?, Camouflage? (appears single colour overall- not silver, heavily worn nosecone), Unit? No belly tank apparent, 2 large underwing tanks, apparently a single vertical camera in the nose. Sorry, can't upload photos

thx Rich shells are the eye catching components of this AFV, so i chose contrasting colors to emphasis this.😉

thx Vytautas I just see your Hetzer, you enjoy AFVs with modifying, upgrading details . something I won't/can't do on 1/72. Merkava(s), I quite like the result IDF grey on Mk.4M. This time the weathering is done with pastel powder, then browns wash on lower portion.

My old crash pad friend Penny...not my Cat! but hung out here and i fed her...quiet here the reason...her owners had babies and countless kids with one of my not to serious illustrations

I found some 1/144 decals for a 707. Soooooo i am going to use them on my current 707-123B which is a VC-137. It will now be an American Airlines 707-123B using Vintage Flyer Decals.

in overly wealthy types

Excellent

Done that! But wore an apron. 😁

This looks great. I've seen you post some really wonderful builds in the past, but this one goes above and beyond. Very impressive.

Thanks Bud, eeally appreciate the kind words, cheers!

Indeed! That is a very nice NMF. How robust is that AK metal wax stuff? Does it rub off if you touch it? Im wondering if it's repackaged Rub-n-Buff. A product they used to sell here for cleaning silverware.

That's an amazing piece of work. The plane, the kit, and your conversion of it. All massively impressive.

"The politburo is concerned you are not meeting your monthly quota of rotor blades." But seriously, your build looks awesome! That thing is a beast!

I Like this!

That's a great looking save there Chris and nice additional details
