Finaly finished, had to change plans as the FUG antennas was not in the kit, only the genetic supports, and as i had no antennas in the stash, i chose to build the V-7 instar that is without Radar installed. Cheers Jes

I have given up on this kit, it looked very promissing when i looked into the box, but when i started i dicovered that it was an over enginered piece of S####. So I have bin the kit, something i do very very seldom, i always try to make it work. But not this one. Cheers Jes

Ready for the paint job. Cheers Jes

Had to use drastic methods as the wing did not line up correctly, used a hacksaw. To make a cut in the wing. Cheers Jes

You did OK with those old decals. Old yellowed decals can be white again if place the on a window face out, the the UV light from the sun will make them white again. Have used the technik works. This time of year the only problem is the sun is not out so much. 😆😎 Cheers Jes

I'm still impressed that you painted the model before assembling it. 😀 Cheers Jes

It is OK with some sidetracking, we get around the subject. I have build these MPM kit long time ago and as i remember also not the best kit as they where early MPM, short run vacuform canopy, but still a more normal parts lay out. Cheers Jes

Thanks for the link i can see that I am not the only one cursing this kit. 😬 Done some futher reseach found this page with good history. https://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/sb/tapani/b-71/bulgarian/bulgarian.htm Nice camo. Now have to find the colors. Cheers Jes
