Popular Post mathy Posted July 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2021 Hi all, here some pics of the "new" Italeri MB-326 in 1:48 scale. In fact it is the almost 40 years old kit by Esci. Nevertheless a fine model with great panel lines but poor cockpit details. So I changed this to a Neomega resin cockpit, the rest including the fine deacls are OOB. 77 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rakete173 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Pretty cool look. You´ve made a masterpiece out of this old kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Very impressive, indeed! And the cockpit is… busy! A work of art in itself. Superb modelling! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 It’s hard to believe that’s the old ESCI kit. Neomega do make a decent cockpit but you have executed it magnificently. Nice one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binbrook87 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Now that is a piece of art. Great build detailing and paintwork, with very realistic weathering and outstanding photography. Looks like the real thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Dayam- what the others have said! This would have been a perfect model, but I think you forgot the ejection seat safety pins! Seriously, that is some serious cockpit and panel line work- most realistic I have seen in a while! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Spencer Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I remember being at Decimomannu when we visited the air to ground gunnery range. We were stood on the tower watching our XV Sqn Tornados shooting ground targets when one of these buzzed us. I swear it felt like I could have reached out and touched it. This is a beautiful build that reminds of that moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
