Takes all sorts I suppose... ... let's face it, neither will win a beauty contest although to my mind the MiG-19S has a certain brutish charm.

Flankerman Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) They are station keeping marks - when they are lined up the aircraft are in the correct echelon position when flying in formation. The J-11b has a similar system - yellow bars on the wingtip launch rails that line up with yellow bars on the spine when they are in the correct formation..... I put them on my Trumpeter J-11B - although I did not get the angles quite right. That's my vacform Q5 BTW......... http://www.flankers-site.co.uk/model_fantan.html Ken Edited October 22, 2017 by Flankerman 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Dick Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) And an excellent model at that Flankerman ! I took the plunge and ordered 6 from Luckymodel Anyone have any details of camo schemes on Sudanese and North Korean examples - I do not know whether they had/have the A-5C version - I found this video by the BBC on the Sudanese Fantans some excellent images in it Edited October 25, 2017 by Uncle Dick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hook Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 The Fantan has reached our Dutch shores as well, and it does look nice in the box. Just a question - would anyone know what type the LGB-like bombs not mentioned in the instructions are? Cheers, Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
