Here’s the 1/72 Hasegawa kit from 1969, finished in the colours of ADC 57 FIS with arctic hi-vis markings:

 

Build thread is here if you are interested. it was great fun to build, and I added a bit more detail in the cockpit, wheel wells and missile bay. And I converted the wings from Case X to XX simply by bending them, because the scheme I wanted was on a later airframe.

 

[edit] I took a few more pictures tonight to show some of the detailing.

Here’s one to show I put the stickers on both sides!

 

The rocket bay, showing the doors thickened up to scale and the holes for the 2.75inch unguided rockets that were carried inside the doors:

 

A more general view showing the extra detail added to the rocket and undercarriage bays:

Finally a view showing the drop tanks. The cartoon on the side shows a knight astride an F-102 charging a blissfully unaware Soviet bear, reflecting their real-life role of intercepting and escorting intruding Tu-95s!

 

Thanks for a super GB!
