Pete 'o' probe Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 very nicely done John, I used to fly in and out of Tessaloniki in the old Vickers VC1O. Hows the weather there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Like WOW, those are just amazing. I wouldn't & couldn't even try to emulate that standard of modelling but I am nevertheless totally awestruck. Well done. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John R Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 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 John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousER99 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Gorgeous work!! The Flagon is inspirational!! I am working on an F myself at the moment. The paintowrk and engine on the Zero is excuisite!! Welcome to the forums. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Giavasis Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousER99 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I nearly did the airbrakes on mine but since I am modeling them closed I didn't bother. Hopefully nobody will pay too much attention!! LOL Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
