Hi, Doc! Foiling looks very good! For further effect you can turn the pieces of foil 90 degrees for the different shades. Cheers Sergey

This is fantastic job on the black gloss! Really amazing!

Is it me, or the nose cone is a bit off? Plus, the top line of the vertical fin is going too much up, is it not? Easy to correct though.. ALso the shape of the fairing in the root of the vertical fin seems to be wrong as well Cheers Sergey

Hi, Guys I have bought one today in Hannants in London The guys in the shop were still unpacking the delivery so I bought it straight away. At home I dry assembled the model and made few (35 actually) pictures. I thought it would give you a better idea and a chance for some critique. The pictures are here Hobby Boss Tornado IDS Cheers, Sergey

Thank you very much OzH. I have seen your pictures, they are fantastic, but no quiet what I am looking for. I am a pervert, I know =)

Hi, guys Need your help. I am looking for the pictures of the insides of the doors of the main compartment of Lynx helicopter. I would be grateful if you could help I have tried the search, but there seems to be a lot of cockpit pictures but not the cabin... Thanks a lot Sergey

Reeeeallly nice!! great idea and superb finish!

I see the step now, thanks for the picture! Cheers Sergey

Hi, Mattie Bee! Very nice and detailed build!! I am not trying to critisize but I noticed that there is a huge step between the nose and the widnshield. Looking at the picture of the real plane on the page 5 one can see that there is no step and the nose and the canopy join together smoothly. Did you try to correct this? I guess that it would have been possible to sand the canopy on the back to make it sit a bit deeper towards the tail of the aircraft. It also seems to me that the windshilelds are little bit longer than on the pictures of the real ones.. But I might be wrong! In the end of the days you could this beauty in real life! But I still think that the gap should have been corrected.. Cheers Sergey

There is another model from Russian company ARK. It looks like it is a mix of Hasegawa and Airfix. http://scalemodels.ru/articles/1498.html General accuracy is very good, but the model is difficult in assembly, the fit is bad. Level of details is low.. But the price is about 7US$. I might try to build one using Aires cockpit, Falcon canopy and other aftermarket.. It still will be cheaper than to buils Hasegawa and easier than to rescribe Arifix... I might be wrong on that as well =)

Thank you!

Hi, guys! I am looking for good detailed pictures (walkarounds) of british Royal Navy Phantoms. Can anyone point me to a place where it can be found? Thank you Sergey

Interesting.... why don't we have it yet on sale in the UK? Any ideas on why Hannants is not yet selling the kit?

I have uploaded the instruction to my album here is the link Hope this helps Sergey

I am sure you are aware that monogram su-25 is the model of the prototype I know the translation is not 100% accurate, but here is the link of comparison review of monogram and KP models published on our web-site.

Hi, Ian Tough task you took on you shoulders! Is there any particular reason that you don't use Bare Metal Foil? Sergey

This is huge! I always liked this aircraft.. really strangely yet beautiful looking. Very interesting build!

Hi, guys, have anyone tried to fit Aires cockpit with Aires nose wheel bay?

Well, that's great =) Thanks! Any ideas why nobody produces the cockpit for the kit? the plane is not that secret as Raptor.. but even for Raptor we already have two resin cockpits!

Hi, Mike what is the new Typhoon product you mean? =) Why nobody does a cockpit.. ? Regards Sergey
