    "Litter" would seem appropiate. Lovely work there!

    I just have the English version, sorry. Cheers, Andre
  4. Hook
    Now that looks rather splendid.
  5. Hook
    Great lineup of Sixes!
  6. Hook
    Great execution of a rather eyecatching scheme, thanks for posting. Cheers, Andre (Dutch but with an Austrian girlfriend)

    Why choose between those two options when there's an inbetween choice as well? Cheers, Andre

    https://www.scalemates.com/books/the-mig-21-holger-mueller--126824 A very nice tome, albeit with a focus on usage in Europe. Cheers, Andre

    A very bold and succesful action indeed.

    Looking great from here!

    The first time the brutish charms of the Swinging Fitter were raised in my consciousness was in an Air Forces Montly article in, I'd wager, 1989 covering the East German ones. Cheers, Andre
  12. Hook
    You could! Of course, you could also do what a lazy sod like me would do and wait for the Modelsvit Su-22M-3. Fitter variants are almost as confusing as Bf109's... Cheers, Andre

    The Su-22M3 as flown by the Hungarians and Vietnamese was a Tumanskiy R29BS-300 powered version, with different contours and air scoop arrangement than the Lyulka versions. Modelsvit has not released this version yet, AFAIK. Isn't your kit a Su-17M3..? Cheers, Andre
  14. Hook
    Indeed - luckily, Modelsvit is to come out with a correct Su-22M-3 somewhere in the future. Cheers, Andre
  15. Hook
    Dutch F-16's and German Tornados were the most common.

    All very nice!, the Su-20 kit in my photo has Egyptian,Iraqi, Polish and West German options. Incidentally,one of the two ex-Egyptian Su-20's transferred to and evaluated by the West Germans ended up at Leeuwarden AB, the closest airbase to where I live. Cheers, Andre
  17. Hook
    Well, that was fast!

    First decals on! - there'll be a lot of them with all the stencilling: I've said it before and I'll say it again - funny how everything instantly looks just soooooo much better with some full colour Dutch roundels, eh? Cheers, Andre
  19. Hook
    And here's the verdict - sprue A is identical! Cheers, Andre
  20. Hook
    AFAIK (always a dangerous way to start a sentence!) the Su-17M was powered by the AL-21F-3 while the Su-20 had the older AL-7F-1. Since the newer engine was smaller,. it may have led to external differences / break points around the back end. Let me pull out my Modelsvit Su-17M and Su-20 kits tonight. Cheers, Andre

    I've never seen any reference. Occams Razor - an error in the Aeromaster instructions would appear to be the most logical option. Cheers, Andre

    If you're building in 1/272nd, Swords Lightnings have aquisition missiles (part #8). Cheers, Andre

    Some more on this here: https://tailspintopics.blogspot.com/2009/10/fj-fury.html https://tailhooktopics.blogspot.com/2015/04/esci-148th-fj-23.html https://tailspintopics.blogspot.com/2014/08/north-american-fj-3-redux.html https://tailspintopics.blogspot.com/2011/04/fj23-fury-redux.html Cheers, Andre

    You have the biggies lined out. A small tip - all the various Tarangus / SH Viggen kits include two seats and three cockpit tubs / instrument panels to cater for the different versions. It may be worth it asking for spares in the Wanted section. Cheers, Andre

    In addition, there are some great some post-Yugoslav markings on this: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/hi-decal-line-72-037-mig-21-bis-fishbed-l-n--105225 The owner, @Diego, hangs around here and is an allround great guy. Cheers, Andre
