Wdedig Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I have Just completed My last Aircraft Honoring the Kosciuszko Squadron Flyers. This was the 1/48 Eduard/Academy Mig-29 UB in Polish Markings I need to thank Polish AF US Liaison Budniak Karol for all his support in correct colors of Mig-29. The decals are from ModelMaker ,a Polish decal company and they were fantastic. Below are two Aircraft with 100 years of separation tied in by the pilot, American Major Cedric Fauntleroy. The Albatross is the markings of Major Fauntleroy in 1920 and the 2020 Mig-29 has the pilots image on the inside of the the tails. Both aircraft sport the Kosciuszko Squadron Emblem designed by an American flier Elliot Chess during the Polish/Bolshevik conflict in 1920. Major Fauntleroy was the Kosciuszko Squadron commander during the conflict. I was trying complete the Mig-29 in 2020 but I did not receive the decals until December. I added the Eduard F.O.D covers just to add a Little color.The kit was loaded with Photo-etched parts,Resin seats and I added Resin Exhaust set. Notice the two different photos in the tail area, one in flying gear and one formal uniform. Thanks for Looking Comments are always welcome Regards Bill 28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_C Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Both are superb models! And great pleasure and proud to see respect paid by Polish Air Force to the national hero of so many countries including my native Belarus! Hopefully some day Tadevuš Kaśćiuška's name will be honoured by army and airforce on this side of the border too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, thank you too I used Belarusian latin spelling. In Polish I think his name is spelled as Tadeusz Kościuszko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
