Very nice result from the old Monogram kit - well done!

Lovely job! Very impressive work - well done

Great result from difficult source material - nice work Pete!

Excellent work! Well done

That's a beauty! Great finish and weathering - well done

Very cool!!

That's looking really nice! The cockpit looks great lit up

That looks very nice, well done! Great finish and good to see some less-common markings

Very nice work. The camo scheme and weathering are especially well done 👍

Very impressive work, well done!

Very interesting! The FA-50 is an important modern type so it's good to see upgrades for the basic Academy kit

That looks fast just standing still! Really lovely work, well done

Very nice marbling and shading effects! That's looking good

Maybe it's my screen (or my eyes!) but that looks pretty good to me!!

Very nice work Russ! I really like the weathered finish - well done

Well that's certainly something special! I'd never heard of a gunship DHC Beaver and yours looks great - well done. I like the reddish dust sprayed up under the fuselage too; very effective

That's a really nice result and thank you for the insights into your process!

Very nice work, well done!

Great photos from what looks like a really interesting show It's also really interesting to see the range of international attendees. To be clear, that's not a political comment, just an observation about the countries and types represented

Fascinating photos! Thanks for posting

Nice work! The Iskra is an elegant little jet and yours looks very smart - well done

This is the Art Model MiG-27D Flogger J which, at the time of writing, I would say is the best Flogger in 1/72. ‘Best’ in this context is relative and it is definitely not the easiest kit to build, with a lot of filling and sanding required. Nonetheless, it is reasonably accurate in shape; I have read that some of the parts derive from the RV Models MiG-23 moulds with the relevant new parts for a MiG-27. Something to watch out for is that the kit comes with a nice-looking resin exhaust, with some good interior detail; however, it is smaller in diameter than the rear fuselage, which is something I didn’t notice until it was too late. I used some elements of the HR Model MiG-27 details set to enhance the cockpit, with Armory wheels (strongly recommended), and KV Models masks, which worked well. Markings are from the box for Yellow 50 from the 19th GvAPIB at Lärz airbase in the former DDR. There are some attractive schemes provided in the Art Model kit but I picked this particular scheme because I could find some decent photos of aircraft from that unit and MiG-27 camouflage varies widely. After some experimentation, colours used for the camo scheme were: Undersurface – Light blue grey Vallejo V71.306 - Dark ghost grey FS36320 V71.120 Uppersurface - Chocolate brown H406 - Dark green FS34092 H302 - Field green FS34097 H340 - Flat earth XF-52 Metal areas - Assorted Vallejo Metallics Given the short-run nature of the base kit, I’m reasonably pleased with the outcome.

Welcome to the forum and what a great introduction! Really lovely work on your MiG-21 and an usual camo scheme, very nicely done

Absolutely fantastic work - a real masterclass from start to finish and a great reference for getting the best from the Clear Prop kit. Well done and thank you Chris

Depleted uranium nose weight??!
