Wolpack Design is to rebox the Academy 1/48 - Mikoyan Gurevich MiG-21PF "Fishbed-D" kit - ref. 14819 - Mikoyan Gurevich MiG-21PF "Fishbed-D" - ref. 14821 - Mikoyan Gurevich MiG-21PF (Izdeliye 76) "Fishbed-D" V.P. -
Hi All, My latest completion is Wolfpack Design's B17C, built as an RAF Fortress Mk.I. I built this as part of the B17 STGB - thanks very much to @vppelt68 and @reini for hosting this great group build! The Fortress Mk.I was the first time the B17C was used in combat, and the many hard lessons learned by 90 Sqn were directly applied to the evolution of the aircraft into the formidable fighting machine it became. The squadron were based at RAF Polebrook, Northamptonshire in summer 1941, and conducted early offensive raids over Germany. I chose to complete as AN530 - here's a photo of the aircraft: Here's another rather nice shot of crew about to board the aircraft: Here's a link to a propaganda film depicting the squadron's first mission: There is some speculation over the scheme, but I have chosen to complete in Dark Slate Grey & Extra Dark Sea Grey over PRU Blue, mainly due to written reports I have sighted. The kit is a re-boxing of the Academy kit, which I believe is of 90's vintage. There are a few known idiosyncrasies with the kit: - Excessive wing dihedral, corrected by adding 1mm shims to the top of the wing roots - Blank faced turbo intercooler ducts, which were opened out - Incorrect cockpit floor, which was scratch-built Here's a link to the WIP if anyone is interested: I also did a fair bit of work adding an interior to the build (in vain, as it turns out - completely invisible!). Here's the proof: Enough waffle - on with the pictures! Finally, and just for scale you understand, here's a shot with another unusual heavy: I realised after the photos that I'd neglected to add the glazed covers to the landing lights - hey ho! I've thoroughly enjoyed building this unusual mark of the Fortress - despite its shortcomings I believe it builds up into a nice representation of an early Fort. Thanks for all those who have provided encouragement and kind words along the way - it has been much appreciated! Particular thanks to @Robin-42 who very generously provided some invaluable information on the interior of the B17C. Thanks for looking, Roger

Hi All, Sorry I'm late - I do have a note! Full disclosure - I started this build a couple of weeks ago, blissfully unaware that this great beast of an STGB was lumbering along! Happily, @Ol' Scrapiron happened to chance on my build in 'normal' WIP, and @vppelt68 very kindly invited me to join this esteemed company - so here I jolly well am! I am going to build a Fortress Mk.I (the B17C in RAF service), more specifically as AN530 of 90 Sqn, based at Polebrook in Summer 1941. These were the first B17s to see combat, and although they were ultimately rapidly assigned other duties much was learned about high-altitude operations in the heat of combat which informed the B17E, the first version to be considered an effective war machine. Here's a photo of the aircraft: Here's another nice shot of crew preparing to board AN530: And here's some propaganda footage of the squadron's first mission, kindly shared on the original thread by @Eric Mc: Now there is some uncertainty around the colour scheme, and I have seen it modelled with Dark Slate Grey and Extra Dark Sea Grey uppers. However, I believe that it is more likely that the original Dark Green and Dark Earth uppers were retained, with an approximation to PRU Blue on the lower surfaces, much like this: I know this a different airframe, but the scheme shows the nice curved high demarcation aft of the wing. I shall be making my own marking masks using a Silhouette cutter. As I mentioned I did start this build a little while ago, so here's a link to the start of the build if anyone is interested: In case you were not aware, the Wolfpack Design kit is a re-issue of the old Academy kit which is of 80s vintage. There are a few improvements I have made (or intend to make), summarised as follows: - Correct the cockpit floor to two levels - Add the radio room, along with floors for the rear gun blisters and fuselage ribbing - Open out the oil cooler ports, which are blank on the lower wings - Correct the excessive wing dihedral - 3D printed radio gear, bomb sight, navigator & bomb aimer chairs and oxygen bottles I think that's it?! Anyway, very glad to be on board and looking forward to lots of Fort action and banter! Thanks for looking, Roger

Hi All, My next project will be Wolfpack's B17C, to be completed as an RAF Fortress Mk.I. I have not built a Wolfpack kit before, but my understanding is that this is a re-issue of the Academy kit which I think is 80's vintage. Here's the box art: Here's the sprue shots: All look to possess nice crisp detail. Here's the decals, along with a thoughtfully included set of glazing masks: Other than the instruments those decals won't see the light of day, as I intend to complete as one of these two schemes: Both aircraft have TSS uppers, with the lower aircraft having PRU Blue undersides (albeit with a high demarcation running through the roundel). This one should be fun! Thanks for looking, Roger
