Unfinished project Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 This is my first RFI and I’m the first to admit I need many, many, hours, days, weeks and more than likely years of experience to get to the superb standards displayed here on a daily basis. This Italeri Sea Flanker purchased as part of a job lot when I looked in the box I that it was more of a jobby lot with one canard missing and a decal sheet that looked like it had been chewed by a rabid badger. The kit actually went together well and in my opinion it looks like a Flanker. As I had a surplus of RAF Phantom decals I had a flash of inspiration and here it is. I know the paintwork is rough as I had several disasters with reactions when applying the gloss coat that made it look like crazy paving. After a rigorous rub down with 1500 wet and dry and a re-coat of Vallejo Gloss Laquer I set about it with decals and here it is. Sorry if I offend the purists among you but I’m pleased with the results. 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 The CO of the 237th TsPAT at Kubinka was not too happy that his personal aircraft had been zapped over the weekend by 43 Sqn RAF during their Squadron exchange. We wait with interest to see the Tornado F3 in full Russian Knights colours. Lovely model by the way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
