OK then. 

Here are the top three restaurants I visited during my five weeks stay, and I'd visit them again.

 

*Peppersack, great food and drink.
The restaurant is located in a medival merchants building very close to the Town Hall Square.
A must is to try their homebrewed beer. 

Link to my review on Google Maps.

 

*Trattoria La Bottega.
Superb Italian food, the best I've ever had actually.
Link to my review on Google Maps.

 

*Argentiina Restoran.
If grilled meat, steaks are your thing, this is a must visit.
I went there twice during my stay, and I'd love to get back.

The Sky Bar, Lounge24 on the top of Radisson Blu Sky is a great place for drinks with a great view of the Old Town.
Try the Strawberry Daquari.

Hope you'll have a nice stay in Tallinn.

Hi 
I've now painted the Algerian Mitten and pulled off the masking tape.

Well not exactly finished, the inner part of the control surfaces shoudln't be camouflaged.
So more tape is needed,

The plan is to clear coat this one this evening, and during Sunday to put on all the decals.

Thanks Steve.  :D 

My son is bulding Zvezdas 1/72 version of this, and both of them are absolutely fantastic kits.

Some features are missing in 1/72 but not much.

I'll soon start my third Mitten. 

I just have to get all the decals done on this one.

Hi. 
All the Algerian decals are now on, and I've started with the stencils.

I really like Zvezdas decals, it must be Begemot who does them because the feel, looks and behaves like Begemot decals.
The wing walk line decal is in one piece and it shows no tendency for silvering.

Hi. 

I'm done with all stencils and decals on the Algerian Mitten.
I actually counted them and there are 152 stencils/decals in total. :D

And you can actually read them when you set the camera to macro. :D

I'll put some clear coat to this and I still have some more painting to do.
But I think I'll start the third one this week, and that'll be the Belarussian one.

Very nice!!

Is the circle on the roundels really blue?

 

Thanks!

 

I like the red and white display scheme on the yak-130..... maybe I will do it.... in parallel with the M346 Master :)

Hi
Since I'm home with a cold I'm planing to finish some of my ongoing builds.
So I did some work on the Algerian Mitten to day.
Wheels ad FOD guards in place.

I'm still nursing my cold, so it's better that I stay at home than passing it on to my colleagues. 
I got some more work done on the Algerian Mitten yesterday.

Almost all ordnance is finised, I still have two R73 missiles to mount on to the pylons.

The dual 23mm cannon was glued in place.

The rocket pods as well.

Today I've got the canopy and some antennas and other small bits to work with, but then I think this one will be ready for the display cabinet.

Hi.

It's time for the next Mitten.

And this time we return to the eastern parts.
A Belarussian Mitten in what I'd like to call a "Birchforrest camo"

And then my friendly neighbour knocked on the door.

8 liters of fresh chantrelles. :D 
So yesterday evening was spent with a paring knife instead of a hobbyknife.

Hi. 

When I build a Yak-130 one of the subsections I'd like to finish first are the intakes and the part around them. 
The intakes are to be painted white, and that takes a bit of time to brush. 
After I built the first one I discovered that most, if not all, part can glued together before painting.

And that's the parts I glued yesterday evening.

Hi, 

My building time is dwindling and just now everything seems to take forever to do. 
But I try to do something every evening, if it just a part or two. 
The intake package are slowly taking form at the moment.

And soon I think I can start to paint all inner surfaces white.

Hi.

I managed to build something on my Belarussian Mitten during last week. 


The cockpit and nose section are slowly taking form.

I'm done with the internal parts and intake, but I'll show that another day.
