Bell209 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I decided to build this representation of a Tanzanian Air Force Command J-7G which was operating out of Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam while I was working there in 2015/16. The kit's pretty basic but goes together quite well. Unfortunately, I missed the locating lugs on the nose gear and it ended up canted to one side! Mostly OOB, with the Eduard Mig-21F-13 cockpit detail and wheel sets the only additions. I made the national markings on the ink jet printer from on-line references based on photos I took and others from various sources. A mate donated an extra external fuel tank so I could make the configuration I wanted. The forward air brakes are just cracked open, as per several references (the rear one is locked closed when the centre pylon is fitted). I removed and added a few antennae to reflect the actual configuration. A few WIP photos, too: 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
