Why should I purchase reference material when I have you to provide these epic presentations. I continue to be impressed with everything you share with us. I can almost forget your skill level as an artist due to high quality of the background story of the subject you share here with us. It`s all good and please don`t stop. I am not worthy!!!!! Mike Thank you, Mike. However, as I always say, I don’t feel so worthy. This great forum is packed full of talent that surpasses my attempts. Don’t get me wrong, though, I will soak up as much credit as you are happy to lob my way :). 16 hours ago, Corsairfoxfouruncle said: Well thats different ! Good looking MiG. Thanks the intention, Dennis :). I’m glad you like her. Martin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightningboy2000 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Exceptional work Martin! Very impressed with the research & you representing that history, & the extra work you've put into the detailing especially with that canopy & those decals. Very nice. Echoing what Stuart said, very left field & a very striking colour scheme. Another great subject that one doesn't read about very often. Very enlightening. I think one of the colourful IAF Gnat F.1's would look good next to that unless you've built one already, another interesting PAF/IAF combat theme! Always found their cold war aviation history interesting & surprised at India's current inventory of combat jets what with the arrivals of the Rafale. Surprised that they still have a handfull of 21's on their last legs. All the best Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, and many know, I hate following trends and seek things to build that others don’t. My life long aviation interest and career has steered my choices too. I am actually tempted at the moment by another Uruguayan build ;). All my best, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats! Thanks mate. It seems a long time ago now ;)…. I still wonder if the dots should have been black but the B&W photos still indicate red to me Here is another kitbash MiG that seemed to work for me .
