Hoorah, that man! Great job as always, and what a brilliant collection 👍👍 mike

Fantastic ! You've really captured the atmosphere of the original in model form. Thanks for posting. mike

Thanks for your kind words Fin. Thanks Harry. The markings came from the Xtradecal sheet X72175. LOads of markings to choose from. Thanks Keith. It was the starboard rocket pod that did the damage (and a few tonnes of stupidity on my part)😠 mike

I love exotic schemes and your build has certainly ticked that box Flawless finish 👍👍 Thanks for posting. mike

Mixed feelings about your build Calum, but only because : I have one in the stash I can't see myself ever building it to the same standard Astonishing work - thanks for posting your inspirational build. mike

Great collection John. 👍👍 Excellent group photo 👍👍 Straying off the straight and narrow with regards to civilian builds - we've all done it 😁 As always, thanks for posting. mike

Back in 2014, Borgao posted his build of a Portuguese Gina based in Mozambique. The topic struck a chord with me as my first "foreign" holiday was spent in Beira, just across the border. It was the late 60's, and while my folks enjoyed Manica beer and Peri-peri prawns, my brother and I got to enjoy ice-cream cones and Portuguese hospitality. In homage to Borgao's build, I've had a go at building the Meng G.91 Gina too: Finished off with Hataka paints and markings from Xtradecal. I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed with the kit, but that may have been the ham-fisted way that I built it. I have another Gina in the stash, but I suspect that its build may have slipped down the priority list 🤔 To Borgao, all I can say is that "imitation is the sincerest from of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness" 😁 - Obrigado and many thanks for the inspiration. Comments and criticism welcome. mike

Eclectic mix and I'm a big fan of Arma Hobby 👍👍 Thanks for ticking the boxes. mike

Great work all round - build, paint scheme and diorama Congratulations on completing the build and thanks for posting 👍👍 mike

Spectacular build, especially in 1/72 Thanks for posting. mike

Great build and exotic scheme. Ticks all the boxes for me 👍👍 Thanks for posting. mike

Bravo! I have one in the stash, but I'm too chicken to build it You've done a cracking job. . Thanks for posting mike

Many thanks for using TWO "Get out of jail free" cards. The eye-candy is greatly appreciated. 😁 mike

Those have turned out really well, so many thanks for getting them over the finishing line. 👍👍 Looking forward to seeing the next one off the production line. mike

Great job once again, John 👍👍 Loving the exotic scheme (with cheatline) too ! I'm afraid that I haven't succumbed to the Roden 707 yet as I still have four of their 720's to build....... mike
