John Giavasis Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) Hi everybody! This is my latest model, finished about 2 weeks ago. I used Neomega cockpit and Quickboost guns. Also, I am not sure if Egyptians used this kind of rocket launcher, but anyway I liked the looks of it, so I used it. I detailed and painted the engine in order to test the Alclad clears and I have also removed 2 access panels, but not many things can be seen! The kit is great value for money, providing also a very good Klimov engine and despite some fitting issues, mainly regarding the joint the 2 fuselage halves (front and back), it was a joy to build.

kev67 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 lovely scheme, you should tell use your technique in airbrushing as I like the weathered look. I would imagine modelling takes your mind of the worries of Greece at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
