I failed epically with the last edition, not even managing to start, so I still have the kit (Airfix 1/48 P.40) in waiting and will try again...sign me up.

Hello Sirs... I have added you to the list in post #1. A Crusader is always a joy to see built. Probably the best jet Vought ever built. Mark as for your P-40 it gets an automatic entry due to its connection to a) the first build & b) its incredibly long history with Shark-mouths. I’ll be looking forward to both of the builds.

Though to be honest Im surprised there are no options for Soviet/Russian equipment with sharkmouths ? 

For me best Soviet/Russian  sharkmouths

like art was 120 IAP from Domna with MiG-23MLD & MiG-29 9-13 , Su-27 "Shark" from Lipetsk Center combat use and also MiG-27. Other 

Soviet/Russian fighter sharkmouths are somewhat clumsy, they spoil and distort the appearance of the aircraft.

But no good model in 72nd scale MiG-23MLD & Early Su-27. Sharkmouths on MiG-27 probably applied when his was pedestal, on MiG-29 9-13 from Zvezda I do not have the aftermarket necessary from my point of view.

P.S.

I like Sharkmouths,  but not all Sharkmouths beautiful on some aircraft.

Wrong. Sharkmouths improve everything.

All MiG-23 have wrong nose part.

The situation is being improved  by the correction set from Prop-n-Jet, but it has not been on sale for a long time, in addition, an error has been noticed in it, because of which Prop-n-Jet does not want to resume its release....

I was more curious that none of the Cold war or Modern stuff carry shark-mouths.  

Whaaaaat????

If this

MiG-23MLD_50_Elefant.jpg

mig23_61.jpg

don't shark-mouths????

 

Maybe this don't shark-mouths:

????

Or this don't shark-mouths:

????

So then what about shark-mouths?

 

I am outraged by Western double standards in the area of shark-mouths and intend to file a lawsuit and apply to the World shark-mouths league with complaining about @Corsairfoxfouruncle!

Let personal sanctions World shark-mouths league be introduced against him !!!

😁😁😁

P.S.

But in the early & late Soviet period, more gravitated to crocodiles teeth!

Because all reading and love satirical magazine "Crocodile":

Hello Serge welcome aboard, happy to see an F-8 anytime. Though to be honest Im surprised there are no options for Soviet/Russian equipment with sharkmouths ? 

arrr Dennis, google is your friend!!

 

do a search on google, there's even a Tu-22PD Blinder with Sharks Mouth, though it's a very poor looking one. That Tu-22M Backfire that Serge posted is awesome!!!

 

Plus you have to add the Mi-24 (some of them have huge mouths) plus the Su-24's as well.

Thanks Serge... Ive never seen them but really happy you shared them. They would all make great options to be built.

Yes you would think so but every time i tried googling Russian or Soviet sharkmouth aircraft i only got WW2 aircraft. Even that was usually limited to lend lease types like the P-40 and Spitfire.

You are basically right.  The teeth were not distributed in the Soviet Air Force period WWII, because it was believed that the more nose art on the plane, the more it attracts the attention of the enemy, the more likely it will be shoot down!

 

 Therefore, only real aces could afford painting, such as here, as G.Kostylov

or A.Barsht

After WW2 Soviet Air Force almoust don't paint any nose-art, renaissance was from end 1980 and probably before 2000, after 2000 nose art also rare.

Shark month it remains only where it has already become a tradition since the 80s as respect for the past, while everything very much depends on the command.

     Sadly no until I came back to modeling in 2014 I had never heard of nor seen a Zvezda kit. As for the MiG 25 I hadn't seen the kit before then either. Most likely because Revell wasn't around very much before the turn of the Century. Revell had a bad Reputation in the U.S. at least around Chicago. They were very few kits available and those that were the quality wasn't considered very good until around that time frame. I suspect some of that is related to Chicago being home to Monogram. And also Illinois being home to Testors, which were located in Rockford about 75 miles NW of Chicago. Nowadays Revell have a much better Reputation and Ive built a number of them.
