R159 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 It's an 80's jet, from an 80's kit in and 80s GB, just need Tony Hadley drinking a can of Quattro to finish it off... It's the blueprint boxing which I picked up for a couple of quid at Wings and Things last year. Might do a bit of scratch to tart it up.

Col. Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Cracking choice Rich Loved making that kit in the 80s myself. Quatro is blast from the past! I'd forgot about that until you mentioned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davek72 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I was a youngster in the 80s but I have no idea what you are talking about re Quatro...did I miss out? Looking forward to the build Rich, love the Mig-23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R159 Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 Underside about done, she's destined for the ceiling airshow so wheels up. It must be said compared to newer stuff at least the doors fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R159 Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Dry fit of upper and lower halves, good job as I cannot get the pilot in after putting the lid on, which was the plan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
