  1. This in one Mig-21 that we don't see everyday, wow... a Laotian Fishbed! I have to give Vladimir a lot of credit for sharing his beautifully done Mig-21 with us,Thanks a million!
  2. Superb collection of 'Operation Firedog' planes,love every bit of it.Even the local RMAF museum (doesn't exist anymore as the airbase where it was located was bought over by the scandalous 1MDB affair) doesn't have such a collection.
  3. Excellent Reppu,It's very fortunate that the end of the Pacific war was near,otherwise it would have been a formidable foe to the Allied forces surrounding Japan in 1945.From your last picture (the collection) we can clearly see the design trend at that time,planes were getting bigger,a development that still continues until the appearance of the F-35.
  4. Such a beautiful aircraft.....sleek lines and fast.Your Crusader is just puurfect!
  5. Honestly some of my better students can write a poem using Russ's pictures of the O-2.It's so rich with emotions,just imagine being infront of the plane at dusk and thinking deeply about whether you will be coming back for breakfast the next day or not!Great build and great pictures!
  6. With the PD Decals in hand,I guess you will be building a RAAF P-2H Neptune.I myself have long been planning to build a P2V-5F Neptune of No.11 Squadron using the Hase/Falcon combination but I just can't get the decal sheet for it nor an accurate drawings for the Neptune as I prefer to engrave it.I hope your build will entice me to start doing mine soon.
  7. A great looking Meteor you have there. The decals are nice too. Haven't tried the Marmaduke Press Decals yet but those 12 Group overall green Meteors look veeery appetizing to me!
  8. Sometimes it makes one wonder how these two comparatively small Soviet stablemates managed to face the German onslaught during the first few weeks of Operation Barbarossa? I really admire those Soviet pilots and the Chaika is my favourite bi-plane of WW2. You have done an extremely fine job on both of them and it gives me the incentive to complete my two 1/48 I-153,probably in Finnish/Soviet service.
  9. An excellent first try on the NMF.After nearly 45 years of modelling I still haven't got it right! Btw the Sabre is super nice.
  10. A very Nice Korean Hawk,a Hawk seldom seen and sold off by the Koreans after a few short years of usage.As usual most Hobbyboss kits are pleasant to build but are seriously let down by poor research.The mk.67 kit's nose is too long.By right the front undercarriage location should be just under the front windshield's edge. Sometimes I wonder what's inside the nose cone and why it doesn't look like the rest of the crowd (60/100 series Hawks )?.
  11. The Tigershark is really nice and if the F16s weren't around during that time,the F20 would have been a popular purchase.Singapore ( in fact some of the South Asian F5 users too ) was keen on it.Love the weathering but honestly it's a well known fact that RSAF won't allow their planes to be that shabby!
  12. That's really a great Pucara and knowing the negative reviews about the kit,you really have done a marvellous job on it.
  13. I never knew the RAAF used the Shagbats in New Guinea,so it's an eye opener of some sort to me.The familiar blue and white roundels look beautiful on the weathered Walrus and the additions turned it into a great model.It's a superb Wally Walrus!
  14. Your ability,your talent and your creativity in creating such a beautiful Blenheim astounds me greatly.
  15. A totally different sort of BF109G-5AS,though I am quite familar with other AS,this one is new to me.Love the colours and extras too. Btw,did it really come with an Iron Cross over the engine deck?
  16. That's a very nice JASDF F-1,always admire its handsome look and honestly look better than the Jag. Btw why the 2 long years on the shelf of doom?I always thought Platz kits are good.
  17. I must say both of the models are excellently done but my favourite would be the Single Pioneer.It looked so archaic and ugly compares to the DHC Beaver which I believe was first flown in the same year,1947.9 Single Pioneer served in the Royal Malaysian Air Force and it was a familiar sight over my kampong back in the 60s.If I am not mistaken 3 crashed and 1 is still unaccounted for since 1st.November 1966 as it was operating in the heart of Peninsular Malaya.
  18. Goodness me.....That's a fantastic build!I admire what you have done to the Draken.Superb!
  19. You have set a very high standard for every models you have presented in BM and this Firefly continues with the superb modelling skill that you have.Love every bit of the Firefly.Btw is there any Mr.Color equivalent to the Slate gray that you're using?
  20. Nice to see another user of the Stuka and it's a great model.
  21. i love the suspense of seeing both models!
  22. Used to have a similar kit but the rigging was too much,so sold it off but after seeing your masterpiece,there's a sudden urge to give myself a second chance to have a Spad.Thanks.
  23. Absolutely stunning Talon,it has such a beautiful look and I really admire the paint job.
  24. That's a super duper fantastic Skyhawk,honest to God,it is really something that I wish I could build one myself.
  25. Really nice build of an amazing workhorse,one of my favourite light transporter.(The others would include the Skyvan,just too bad Airfix isn't producing it anymore)
