Tim! Thanks!





I've done almost all final assembly now, just missing a pair of hydraulic pistons for the landing gear. There is a bit of detail painting and some touch-ups to do as well but nothing that can't be handled during the weekend!

So, that's it !













I am not entirely happy with my own performance this time and considering the excellent quality of the kits there is nobody beside myself to blame . Main mistake was attempting brush painting, I simply didn't have the patience to cut the rather minuscule masks needed from tape. With hindsight, I should have done it anyway...

Apart from that: great kits at a great price with a fantastic and varied decal sheet! I saw that Eduard has already released an SMT as a follow-up, I'll pass on that one and wait for a Finish version that I am sure will follow.



The MiGs have now been added to the collection!

And now on to something in 72 scale again!
