  1. Hi all and happy Holydays I would like to join in with this Iraqi Air Force MiG-21MF (Fishbed J) from Eduard in 1/72nd scale No. 11 Squadron, Al Rasheed Air Base, Iraq, 1980 I don't have the box because it is my half of a Dual Combo kit (Royal Class R0017) that I bought with a friend of mine These are the sprues and accessories that I would like to use.
  2. Hello everyone and happy holidays I would like to participate with a Iraqi Air Force MiG-21MF Eduard divides his MiG-21MF production into 2 categories: interceptors and fighter bombers. There is a small difference in the instrument panel and 2 different sprues are provided for the 2 models (I cannot find the differences having only one) My subject falls into the fighter-bomber category but in the few photos I found he always has air-to-air armament and in any case I will only put air-to-air missiles. Is it eligible?
  3. Hi and Merry Christmas Due to the lockdown, even considering a break that began a couple of months ago, this year was definitely more productive than the previous ones. F-14A Tomcat Hasegawa 1/72 - built in 2002 as Fast Eagle 107, completely stripped, repainted and restored Hellcat MkI - Eduard 1/48 F-84G Thunderjet - Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1 Corsair - Tamiya 1/48 F-16A Fighting Falcon - ESCI/ERTL 1/72

  5. Thanks to the hosts and other builders for this group build on what is in fact one of my favorite aircraft and thanks also to those who gave me their vote, for me it is the first "#1 place" even if ex-aequo
  6. Hi! The first steps in the construction of the Hurricane were the assembly of the wheel wells and its fixing inside the wing halves the fit is very good and the joint with the fuselage seems to be fine too I am building the MkI and the MkIIc at the same time and I notice that some small defects in the first have been corrected in the second (wheel wells fixing and fuselage/wing junction) Contrary to what one might think they are 2 different molds
  7. Great job, excellent painting and weathering I am building the MkI and the MkIIc at the same time and I notice that some small defects in the first have been corrected in the second (wheel wells and fuselage / wing junction)
  8. Thank You @Mountain Modeler , I've found the recipe of salmon red on a magazine (how to build Tamiya's 1/32 F4U-1 Corsair) : 2 part of XF10 Flat Brown 2 part of XF2 Flat White 1 part of XF4 Yellow Green 1 part of XF7 Flat Red I made a jar that I will also need for the 1/32 Birdcage
  9. Thank You! @noelhYou are right! prop was changed a few days earlier, "poncho" got a good reprimand Seriously, I should have done at least a few scratches on the prop for uniformity with the rest

  12. Hi! I would like to join in this GB with a Hawker Hurricane Mk.I from Arma Hobby , 1/72nd scale I have not yet chosen the subject, I have looked at which subjects have already been registered to avoid "copies" The box contains the following subjects: P3901 RF-E - n° 303 sqn RAF - W. Urbanowitz V6757 RF-E - n° 303 sqn RAF - J. Zumbach V6605 YO-N - n° 1 sqn RCAF borrowed to 303 sqn - Z. Henenberg Also I have a decal sheet from Sky Models that allows me to make these other subjects: N2359 YB-J - n° 17 sqn RAF - L.W. Stevens (?) V6864 DT-A - n° 257 sqn RAF - R. Stanford Tuck P3395 JX-B - n° 1 sqn RAF - A.V. Clowes Finally I have a series of roundels, letters and numbers from Tally-Ho and Eagle Strike with which I can compose almost any fuselage code and serial number, but I lack personal or squadron insignia I still take some time to decide Below are the photos of the box and aftermarket

  17. Hi! I fixed the camouflage, applied the gloss coat and the decals
  18. Hi to all! I finally returned to work on the Corsair after a long break due to work and the suffocating heat that exhausted my strength. Since the last update I've finished the riveting, glued the wings and started the paint job. I used AK real color and a new H&S Evolution airbrush for the first time, I am very happy with both. I have to correct both the gray and the blue, the flaps are only dry fitted
  19. Thank You This is my 3rd attempt with the riveting after two Eduard's Hellcat
  20. Hi! I finished riveting the central body of the wing and glued it to the riveted fuselage
  21. Thank You @Corsairfoxfouruncle I knew that before the conversion to ADF the F-16A could not carry the AMRAAM so I replaced them with other sidewinder
