Comrades! Today, we display to the decedent West, the Mother Russia can show strength with our new weapon.......The Mikoyan Gurevich - MiG-37b! In a rather splendid splint cammo pattern. So here is how she stands.....the dull coat settled down the silvering a little, just enough to be acceptable. I decided to do a little light weathering on the leading edges but not too much. Huge thanks the @Serkan Sen & @Aardvark and all who have kept the inspiration going for the Ferret...and old but enjoyable kit to build. One I would recommend. Full build log can be found here.... As for the next build.... I am thinking of the Fine Moulds Savoia S.21 from one of my favorite Studio Ghibli movies....Porco Rosso However, I have a more pressing long term build project on pre-order. Due for release mid-November. Hope you enjoyed! Cheers Mike- 24 replies

Having had some time off work - I decided to tackled this kit - which has been sitting in the stash for some time. All in all it's a nice kit to make. The cockpit is a real joy. Lots of detail, nicely designed, goes together very well. I sprayed it Tamiya gunship grey, then sponged on vallejo neutral grey, and pale grey to break up the surfaced and create some highlights on rims of seats etc. Once the cockpit is done, and the canopy masked off the rest of the kit is actually extremely fast to finish. The part count outside the cockpit is pretty small. I used the Eduard masks for this, as the idea of doing it myself was too terrifying. There was a fair amount of sanding needed to get the transparent parts flush with the wing roots. Once the plane was together I decided at the last minute to go down a 'what if' route. I am a bit bored of doing the usual green / grey splinter camo, and had some rattle cans knocking about that would allow for a desert version. I haven't seen any photos of a Bv-141 in the desert, so this is all a bit fanciful. Once the main 3 colours were on, I did quite a lot of post-shading using white and umber oil paint - put directly on the kit then blended in roughly in panel areas. Quite happy with how it went, once I practice I think it will be better at keeping it to the right areas and accordingly it will look better. Finally I splodged the with humbrol weathering pigment 'sand yellow'. The landing light is a little bit of kitchen foil. Seat belts are wine bottle foil. Thanks for looking - all criticisms welcome!
