Hi, Andrés! Wow, I have no words... The cockpit is fantastic. But the propeller is... I think it is one of the best wooden propellers I have ever seen. Congratullations! Un fuere abrazo. Miguel

¡Hola, amigo! Superb, as usual. It's a pleasure for our eyes to see how you build and paint a model. Excellent scratch build and very nice weathering. I take a seat in the front row. Looking forward to seeing progress... Un abrazo. Miguel

Hi, Martin! Many many thanks for the references. I will gather all aftermarkets you used. I can not wait until Eduard or other manufacturer decide to produce a Mongol... He hoover... one of the worst enemies of modelers ... along with the black hole that every modeler has in their modeling room... I hope to do my Mongol half as well as yours Once again, thank you Cheers! Miguel

Hi, Martin! Congratulations on this superb Mongol. And thank you for the detailed explanation about the conversion process. I tried to build a Mali Air Force MiG-21 MF-75 in 2 x grey/2 x green but I gave up because I couldn't get the exact colors. I wasn't convinced by the shades I got. Finally, I’m building a Bulgarian subject. I also have in mind to build an UM. Definively, yours will be a very good reference for me. I have KP UM and Eduard MF / PFM kits. Could you tell us the Aires and Pavla references you have used? Pavla references is C72029 (MiG-21 UM + vacu canopy)? What about the Aires and air intake references? As I said, many thanks for sharing this great work! Miguel

¡Hola, Andrés! Nice to see you here! Yes, the right side of the plane is full of stencils Time to time I spend a few hours on this kit... You know as well as I the headache this it's causing me... This is not the proper place to show progress but... here you are some examples (the pictures has been taken with the mobile and with poor light). It is ready for the stencils (...) and start weathering. I'm not happy with the result. Especially with the colors. They should be lighter Anyway, that's the modeller's life... You are never satisfied with the latest kit built. Tomorrow I will send you a PM ...I hope... Un abrazo. Miguel

I think the same as you, Andre. Thank you for your answer. Best regards. Miguel Spain - España

Hi, all! I hope everyone is healthy and can enjoy our wonderful hobby. I am building a Bulgarian MiG-21MF-75, specifically white 177 included in the Eduard 1/72 box and Linden Hill Imports ‘Brothers in Arms 3’ decal sheet. My question is very simple: does that plane (white 177) have visible stencils? I checked many photos of Bulgarian MiG-21 MF and Bis. Some of them have black stencils, much less stencils than Soviet and Warsaw Pact aircraft. On other planes I don't see any stencil. I only have a picture of white 177 (attached). It seems that it has no stencils. Could you give me your opinion on the stencils on this plane? Thank you very much for your help and keep safe. Best regards. Miguel Angel Sanchez Spain - España

¡Hola, amigo! What can I say? Awesome work! ¡Impresionante! You have faithfully represented the real plane, (72-11) with its differences in shades of gray. The riveting is superb as well as all the improvements you have done. The painting and weathering is also fantastic. It is the best 1/72 aviocar I have ever seen! I will have your WIP as a reference for when I build mine. Congratulations! Un abrazo. Miguel

Hi, Jure! Thanks you very much for the links. The drawings in the pages 19 and 22 gave me an idea of the cockpit and passengers area. Thanks a lot! Cheers! Miguel

Hi, folks! I’m going to build a Siebel 204A that was used by the German Embassy in Spain and later by a Spanish company. I guess that this plane was more or less similar to the Si-204A passenger planes used by Lufthansa. Does anyone pictures of the Si-204A cockpit and passengers area? Many thanks! Cheers. Miguel

Simply superb, Andy! Congratulations! Like Andres, I also followed your WIP in themodellingnews website. You are one of the modeller I have as reference. Planes, AFV, Sci-Fi,... All kits you build are little jewels. By the way, I am a fan of your work not only as a modeler but also as a photographer Cheers! Miguel

Hi, Andrés! What a tiny thing! The details are really fantastic! As usual, the painting job is superb. You have an amazing ability to paint! I hope to see it finished soon! Cheers! Miguel

I already have my Super Galeb!!! I hope to start building soon... Many thanks, Nenad!

I already have my Orao!!! Many thanks, Nenad!

Absolutely!!! +1000
