All are excellent, but the Canberra is my fave, just gorgeous !

Nicely built Mike ! .. and a double winner in my eyes as its in NVA/LSK markings :-)

very nice work indeed !

Thanks guys,.... I did indeed rescribe the lines although the Flory wash didn't always stay in them despite my best efforts ! and it was sprayed with 'Halfords Ford Polar grey' a nice simple little build and I intend to stand this next to my Amodel Yak-25 ( Soviet U-2 equivalent) when I eventually get around to building it :-)

A couple from my latest buld for a Facebook Groupbuild 'NATO' 20140330_EOS5D3_{C02}_Coventry_NATO Groupbuild_2014_M7B1704.jpg by Mr_Nemo1888, on Flickr Airfix Lockheed U-2 for NATO Groupbuild_1 by Mr_Nemo1888, on Flickr Thanks for looking, Simon

thanks for the kind words guys !... Snitok, many thanks for the the historical facts regarding this impressive beast, especially that it was your Dad's a/c ! ....I went with the drop tanks because I did once see a pic of one carrying them, although it's possibly only a ferry configuration. Regards Simon

Better than I expected tbh....the intakes were a bit of a pain but all turned out well in the end :-)

A few pics of one of my last builds from 2013, (Only just got round to setting up the light tent) ICM MiG 31 1/72_a by Mr_Nemo1888, on Flickr ICM MiG 31 1/72_b by Mr_Nemo1888, on Flickr ICM MiG 31 1/72_c by Mr_Nemo1888, on Flickr ICM MiG 31 1/72_d by Mr_Nemo1888, on Flickr Hope you like 'em and thanks for looking !

wow !...truly impressive for 1/72 scale m8

You could always use white tak....eliminates this problem

nice work on an unusual subject !

Nigel, its in 1/72 scale....Thanks for the comments guys, it was a slow build but I had fun with it

Thanks for your input .... Mines on order too and I've got my fingers crossed its fairly accurate.

RV are doing a 27 ?, BTW thanks for the link

No one ???

Just wondering if anyone has one of these yet....as I'm very tempted indeed but wary of buying a pig in a poke Thanks, Simon

Microscale/Superscale do some Soviet tactical numbers in assorted sytles and colours, sorry I can't recall the code number HTH Simon

Sprayed the W & N Galeria flat, over klear straight from the bottle and got a totally flat finish....very impressed Regards Simon

Actually its a 'D' Pod... my mistake

Hi Guys, Browsing on ebay and noticed that there are Bilek MiG 23s for sale, are these new tools or repops of another company like Zvezda/Italeri ? Regards Simon

I use Tamiya TS-41 Coral Blue, seems a good match to me ! Regards Simon

Thanks guys for all the replies...appreciate it ;-) Cheers Si
