Hmm, something tells me you've done this before John :D

Cracking work on a pair of quite different aircraft, welcome to the forum, will look forward to seeing more from you in the future.

Lovely work - wish I was that clever.

Tell me about the Su15. Was it accurate? I built the 1/72 version and it seemed as if the fuselage had been stretched

Hi

the Flagon is pretty good but the zero is beautiful !!! How long have you been building ?

Thank you very much!

The Zero took me about 3 months to build, and the Su-15 almost the same!

The Su-15 is pretty accurate, especially in terms of panel lines and exterior details. There was some critisism about oversized nose, but it did not bother me much!

One thing that really needs improvement are the speedbrakes which are far too small! I used the Eduard P/E to replace the kits' wrong ones. This was a very delicate operation but I managed to succeed. You can see the difference here:
