Very cool stories to go with the pics Sven, really keep them coming! Only thing I have to ripe about is those horrible early -80's plain jane schemes the Navy had on those Tomcats, just horrible looking lol!

Share with the masses lol! -
Just came across this topic and I have to say, as a fan of the RNZAF Skyhawks and USAF CAS Vipers, this 'what-if' is awesome! Was there ever a final product?

To my knowledge the Monogram is the most ‘shape’ accurate hog out there however the Italeri is the most ‘updated’ kit I guess you can say. I do recall a few weeks ago seeing something about Revell coming out with a new one? I think. Really looking forward to seeing this come together though. I’m still on the fence on picking up a HB or Italeri tank slayer lol. -
No joke, it’s because the Finnish MiG-21’s that I actually bought my first Fishbed kit. I really enjoy looking at them. Great info for my future build.

ZM all the way. Check out GT Resins for some pointers as well.

White on the nose Black on the tail

I've got some of their Tornado stuff, can pick it up pretty cheap online or shops.

Love the Thud. Grew up reading about my favorite heroes, Ken Bell, Leo Thorsness, GI Basel, Jack Broughton, etc. Not a 1/72 kind of guy but good luck and will be following closely! -
Not a 1/72 guy but love the A-7 and the two-seater. Awesome build so far, sorry to here about the decal colors. Keep it up!

I did the A kit as a kid, I remember it as a massive putty monster.

Are you hand painting this so far?

Kinda makes you wonder about the stories of the black AH-1G Cobra's flying around I've heard from time to time. Maybe it was just black primer after all...

Thanks Flankerman, that is exactly the kind of explanation I have been seeking with this. Not too concerned with the IP's as I said gear will be up and will have a crew in it but appreciated nonetheless.
-
So I can build it with this MKK kit but if the gear is down I need a single front wheel and the vertical tails are different correct? Was probably going to do it with gear up anyhow and some pilots in the cockpit and those marking just make it look like it wants to fly lol.
-
So whether or not I can build a MKI out of this has already been answered above I see yet here is my question. According to the only reference photos I can find of the 1997 Anniversary markings online this kit looks like it would be an accurate representation of the SU-30 at that time would it not? Or would I still just need to wait on a MKI kit to be released? This is the one I am referring to:

Might I suggest trying to take photos with as much lighting as you can provide and a solid color background?

Awesome job. Will use some techniques like the wash for my Revell F I'm looking at starting soon. -
According to Jon Bernstein, who authored " US Army AH-1 Cobra Units in Vietnam", B Battery 2/20 ARA flew an all black Cobra circa 1970 during the invasion of Cambodia.

Beats me. Why would anyone paint any aircraft of any type in black, although it has happened. I do not pretend to know why, I just know that I have heard of this as well.
-
I have read and heard about them before, however I do not recall the source material. Some speculation as to them was that the CIA had a pair and where running them up and down near the Laos border.

I've never understood why the nose from Wolfpak, what was the issue with the kit nose for the EJ?
