Stefanoff Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Little thing called .... Ajeet Another one of my latest jobs, the Indian Ajeet. This is an Indian version of well known Folland Gnat. Lovely little airplane in colorful Indian Air Force colors. The model is great, very easy for assembly, the pleasure to build it is full. Have some small mistakes but the kit is on quite high level. The model is generally from the box with few updates. I made the lights at end of the wings, color pieces of plastic, put the struts in the air intakes, drill the holes of the rocket pods. The pilot seat is resin from CMK. Never mind those Indian planes are quite heavy worn, I bet on some fine and not too aggressive weathering and not too dirty. And again some microweathering and chipping. Hope you like this small bijou. Regards! Edited October 26, 2018 by Stefanoff 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Yes, Stefan. It is the affectionate gender we give to aircraft here. Martin Edited October 26, 2018 by RidgeRunner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malpaso Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Stefanoff, Traditionally, in the anglophone world ships are considered female - even the ones with obviously male names, just to confuse. That tradition has extended to most types of machines. Sometimes its positive as in the love engendered for the machine and sometimes the worst kind of misogyny when the car won't start!

Diggers11 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Great work! I built the Finnish Gnat version a while ago and I thought it was a really great kit. Your build hasn't changed my mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I do have a picture of it, actually, there are many camo and exotic colors of Ajeet in IAF service, I think after Mig-21, Ajeet+Gnat has some so many colors in IAF service.
