A great looking Tempest there! Cheers Shaun

Thank you both very much. I will be building my MIG29 with upper intakes closed and main intakes fully open. Your help is much appreciated. Regards Shaun

Thanks very much Fro Regards Shaun

Thanks very much for your reply DoctorGaz The images you shared are brilliant-thank you. I'm not planning on putting any blanking on either intakes. Do you have any images of an aircraft with the blanks removed and that show the main intakes closed by any chance please? Thank you very much for your help. Regards Shaun

Hi all Looking for some advice on the upper and main intake positions for a MIG 29 when the aircraft is shut down and unattended (i.e. cold) please. I understand that the upper intakes are closed but cannot find definitive images to show the position of the front intakes. Any advice is welcome-thank you. Regards Shaun

Thanks all for your compliments! Cheers Shaun

Hi all Latest projects -Airfix 1/48 Meteor F.8. I didn't like the yellow tail so found an image of the aeroplane without it and went from there... Cheers

Excellent work Steve...they both look outstanding! Cheers Shaun

A lovely rendition of Shark 20! Cheers Shaun

Beautiful work on the Sea Venom...and others. Are there any particular references you found useful for building the CA kit?

Thank you Andrew...I still reckon yours is the bees knees!!

Thanks Steve I must admit I like the look of the early scheme...

Thanks very much Alx I've still got several in the stash with conversions for various Brit versions and a German Navy Mk41

Thanks very much Bruce! We both know the solution to your conundrum...build two!! Cheers mate

Thanks all Fight's On- Some photo references would have been great to see. There's very few around- particularly regarding weapon configuration. I managed to find out that for RESCAP operations, LAU-3As were carried on the outboard stations and that he jettisoned his tanks (with integral pylons) before engaging the MIG. I have a set of decals for when he flew F-105s too, which I'll get around to building at some point. Cheers Shaun

Thanks MC I didn't do a very good job of moving the window...but it's good enough from a distance!!

Thank you everyone. Yes it was the Trumpeter kit, with an aftermarket intake and decals. I've got a Misty FAC to build too at some point...not sure if I'll use a replacement intake next time.

Thanks CJP I think the Airfix kit still needs the port side cabin window to be moved...though I haven't seen the kit that closely yet. Cheers Shaun

Thank you Ray. The biggest hassle was moving the Port cabin window aft...everything else pretty well falls together. Cheers mate Shaun

Thanks very much Ray. It was a very relaxing build! Cheers Shaun

Hi all This was finished a while ago but I wasn't able to share the images- so here goes...

Hi all My latest model- Don Kilgus' F-100 in 1/48. Interesting story to this being the only MIG claimed by an F100 pilot in Vietnam War.

Hi all Does anyone know of a conversion set to make a 1/48 MIL mi8T from the current MIL8/MIL 17 kits please? I'm planning on building a German version... Thanks very much Shaun

Great rescue Ray! Cheers Shaun

Thanks very much Finn That looks pretty definitive, doesn't it? Pods on outboard stations only, per Geoffrey's comments. Thank you both for your help. Cheers Shaun
