I have the same kit in the stash.. so I’m following closely! Nice start BTW

Same kit, same boxing.. and I would say same markings as I’m doing 😁 Mine will be sitting on its wheel though..

Ok so, after quite a bit, I managed (maybe) to finish the base: The only thing I'm not sure about is the finishing of the exposed wood. Still I'm not sure if leaving it natural beech and just add a semi-gloss varnish, or stain it a little bit darker before varnishing. Anyway, I worked on the aircraft too, so the Mig-15 is now assembled and ready for primer:

Yep… it definitely is a MAFFS! Actually a fire fighting system was the first thing that came to mind, but didn’t know that this service was carried out by USAF too

I actually posted the video itself... and I can see it. Anyobody else having troubles seeing it? I made some screenshots anyway:

I recently came across a video of a kind of spraying device mounted on the left side of a USAF C-130, something I've never seen before. Do you know what is it?

Today I started the display base. It's a hexagonal piece of beech wood with a 1 mm plasticard sheet glued on top. The idea is that the hexagonal display base shape will basically recall the hexagonal slabs used at the time in a vast part of Soviet airfields, as my MiG-15 will be finished with Soviet markings. So I scribed the slabs into the plasticard sheet: I then masked the wooden edges and sprayed a coat of black Ammo One Shot Primer, and on top of that I did some white mottling using some photo etched stencils:

You won’t be disappointed!

Here we go... let's start with the cockpit I'm very impressed by the details, and even more more by the precise fitting of all the parts. After some painting, drybrush, a wash.. and a final Matt cote this is the result:

Always nice to see a car built!

Hi everyone, this is my entry for this GB. Should be a quick(ish) build, so maybe It's gonna be the first time I'll manage to complete something before the deadline 😂 It's a well known kit and, for me, will be a first as I've never built an Eduard kit before. Needless to say, the detail looks quite impressive. Maybe today I'll be able to find some time to start it! Other candidates from my stash for this GB are the Eduard MiG-21 and the Italeri B-58. In my always too optimistic ideas I'll build this MiG-15 and the B-58 too. In the sad reality.. I'll be celebrating hard if I'll complete just the MiG-15 😁

Some F-14s in the stash (who doesn’t have one? 😁) and a couple of Tonkas. count me in

T-28 in the stash.. so why not join!

Well…. If you’re gonna throw into the trash the Fujimi, just tell me where and I’m gonna pick them up 😄

Were you spraying with the H&S before as well? I mean, when you didn’t get tip drying?
