Zigomar Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 The I.A.R 81-C was an improved I.A.R 80, better armed with the new wing carrying two Mauser MG 151 20mm guns.Plane n°320 was flown bt Lt.Av. Mircea Dumitrescu of Esc.61Vt./Gr.6 Vt based on Popesti-Leordeni airfield during the summer of 44. This resin model from Romania is nothing but a pure gem and certainly one of the very best model from the cottage industry I had the luck to build. I wish they did a IAR 80 as the Hobby Boss has a lot of mistakes. So Here we are wih the pics: 434F916D-A848-490D-A779-EFB4AB7BA8F0 by jean Barby, sur Flickr BAEF57ED-33A6-421B-B08F-517425427C1B by jean Barby, sur Flickr EF0D7E2B-70E1-466A-BED3-BB7F07CB6020 by jean Barby, sur Flickr 358230DD-BE57-4097-809D-06FE68BB8992 by jean Barby, sur Flickr B1E3A52F-2F41-47ED-89A0-E5DA255969B0 by jean Barby, sur Flickr 46CEC616-C769-4676-BA0A-29985A88FDAD by jean Barby, sur Flickr 32E5CB1E-0972-42D4-9A1F-0F6763A0368E by jean Barby, sur Flickr 7D2C2458-7D76-4936-8B95-959CB2937355 by jean Barby, sur Flickr 03C17B26-B96A-4115-B5FD-68EAF7A235B0 by jean Barby, sur Flickr 6A90154E-17ED-403A-9025-C0F68377C27C by jean Barby, sur Flickr 324EDA2A-8BF6-4A1D-A4DA-DAFF2A0A9683 by jean Barby, sur Flickr CF17DCDD-B8C6-4F91-9F75-EB9675CB615C by jean Barby, sur Flickr 5EFA1511-2862-4F52-960D-D0F84C341FC7 by jean Barby, sur Flickr 39 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Durbon Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Beautiful build of an unusual objekt. Brilliant pictures too Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedingBlue Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Looks great. I posted an IAR-80 build yesterday. With it being a pretty unusual subject, what are the odds of two IAR aircraft being posted at the same time? Question: Did you mix the yellow to match the insignia decals or were they already close? The insignias on the Hobby Boss kit were too pale looking compared to RLM-04. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concerning the yellow shade I do not remember having a problem, the kit decals were very good indeed, and in the proper register.

Pete Robin Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Very, very nice. Love the subtleties of the weathering and the small details like the wear on the cockpit edge. Splendid. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fin Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) Where did you take the inspiration for that? Icaerodesign recommends RLM 64 afaik. EDIT: Ok, I now realize, yours is the build present on their site and in the magazine. Cool! Edited June 7, 2022 by Fin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did ask Radu Brinzan about that and RLM83 is a very close match to the Dark Green used by the Romanian Air Force. And yes this is the built published in Wing Master some years ago.

Bigglesof266 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 In all my years immersed in aviation and its history, I had thought there were very few types I had never ever heard of, and here you've surprised me in presenting one of them, and splendiferously so. 🔟 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
