Guy Rump
Made a start on this kit with the cockpit which is quite basic to say the least, part of the reason I put the pilot and navigator in. 🙂

Welcome Nicolas, pull up a seat. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Freak, Andrew B, Istvan S, Villiers DV, J35J, Andre K, Juskifo, Tommy A, NordMito & 1 other mate. 👍

Guy Rump
Added cockpit to the upper fuselage. Lower parts of the tail added to the lower fuselage. Wings and folding mechanism added to lower fuselage. Weight added to the lower part of the nose. I wasn't certain how much to add as there is no indication in the instructions. 🙂

Guy Rump
Fuselage now together and bits of filler here and there. 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Matti T. 👍

Guy Rump
Just the jet engine intakes added this week as have been away. On the right hand side I had to cut and sand as there was a big extra part of moulding plastic in the way. 🙂

Guy Rump
Canopy masked and fixed. Primer added. 🙂

Guy Rump
Hataka Medium Sea Grey added as the main colour. Tail sprayed Hataka Jet Black. 🙂

Guy Rump
Tail now attached and the rest of the jet black (Hataka) has been added to the middle of the aircraft. Next will be painting the nose and the rear engines. 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Mr D. 👍

Ekki
Watching.

Guy Rump
Nose painted Hataka light grey and wing tips Hataka jet black. 🙂

Welcome Ekki. 👍

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Sergej I 👍

I call this completed. The plane denoted is a Tornado from 111 (F) Sqn, RAF Leuchars in 2010.

111 (Fighter) Sqn converted to the Tornado F3 from the Phantom FGR.2 in 1990 at RAF Leuchars in Scotland. Its main role there was as a part of the UK's Quick Reaction Alert to identify and if necessary, destroy hostile aircraft entering UK air space. The Sqn also carried out air operations over Bosnia in 1994/95 and took an active part on Operation Telic commanded by Wing Commander Rob Birch in 2003. 111 Sqn was the last RAF Sqn to operate the Tornado F3 and was disbanded in 2011.

I forgot to put this in the ideas so it is starting "in progress".

Made a start with the cockpit and some weight in the nose, hopefully it's enough. 🙂

The Gnat had the canopy added, masked and then primer applied (light grey). I have painted the yellow with 3 coats of Vallejo Model Air Medium yellow and 2 coats of Hataka BS Golden Yellow. Next will be the tail. 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Sukhoi242. 👍

Guy Rump
Tail now painted black with yellow. 🙂

S M
Nice Yellowjack!👍

Mr D
Good to see the yellow on it, dose look good in the yellow.
Takes your time on the landing gear, can be little fiddly.
Good stuff 👌, thanks for uploading

Guy Rump
Sprayed with gloss varnish and then added the decals. Next will be adding the wheels and other ancillaries. 🙂

Many thanks for your kind comments SM and Mr D, they are greatly appreciated. @ Mr D, The front landing gear was very difficult to get off the sprue so I know what you mean. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes SM & Mr D. 👍

Guy Rump
Now completed, this is a Folland Gnat from the Yellowjacks display team based at RAF Valley, Anglesey in 1964, a forerunner team of the Red Arrows. 🙂 The last photo is a picture of the actual aircraft.

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Duster_d, JK, Franck D, Joseph L & Alex R. 👍

Mr D
Hi Guy.
Nice to see it finished 👍
Looking nice, be good addition to the collection, like the yellow rudder.
How did the yellow paint go ? Can be an awkward colour.
Nice job👌 good stuff 👍👍

Robert Podkoński
Lovely!

Nicolas
Nice result guy. 👍

Ekki
Well done!

Guy Rump
@Mr D, I used a very light grey primer followed by Vallejo Model Air Medium Yellow and then Hataka Trainer Yellow x 2 coats over that. They went on better than I expected. 🙂

Mr D, Robert, Nicolas & Ekki, many thanks for the very kind comments, I appreciate them greatly. 👍

Nice start. Following! 👍

Raphael Bernecole
Very Nice 🙂

Cuajete
Marius, I'm glad you're taking up this interesting project again.
Very nice color scheme! It's the same scheme that this Mig-15 UTI? Egyptian Warriors (Condor Decals 72014, 1:72)

Very nice camo sir 👍

Alec K
Excellent! Taking a belated seat.

Marius
Thank you for the interest mates!

@Cuajete: in a way it's similar, but not two EAF machines of the same type had the same "Nile" camouflage pattern. This was left to the freedom of artistic expresion of the maintainance workers. The rule was to use those three main colors: sand (sometimes orange sand), the weird green and a very dark green-tan (close to a complete black). The darkest color is certainly not the proposed brown of that decal sheet.

Otherwise, some of the EAF MiGs were overhauled in Warsaw Pact countries and were locally painted with only similar paints. The MiG-17 from the first picture of this album is such an example, where they applied directly black for the darkest color.

Sometimes order of colors was switched, while sometimes the applied pattern was completely irregular:

This one below is some restored/repainted piece of museum in the US, where the darkest color is wrongly applied as brown:

gorby
It's almost as if I know how special this dio will be. 😉

Alexander Grivonev
it absolutely does look like THE street, the realism is stunning 👍

Alexander Grivonev
what do you mean "my 1:24 cars", since when 😄

bughunter
Thank you mates! I am also absolutely satisfied with the result.

@Alexander From time to time I have done some 1:24 cars, typically from ICM.
The Benz Motorwagen is the best I think, also received an award. The newest was the Ford A released this year.
You can find them on my Projects filtered fro 1:24: bughunter

Erik Off
Perfect! 👍 Where did you get the typical German manhole covers?

bughunter
Thanks Erik!
Both are from ebay, see the selection box: https://ebay.de/itm/163637309021
Not the perfect quality, but usable.

Erik Off
Thank you!

bughunter
Especially for Alex I made a picture with the Ford A. A 1:24 car fits well.

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Uhhhhh - that is beautiful … both, the model and the road 👌

bughunter
Thank you very much Thomas!
The Ford is not new. I showed it here in June: Ford Model A Standard Phaeton Soft Top (1930s) | Project by bughunter (1:24)

Patrick Hagelstein
That road segment looks absolutely stunning! Very well done and very realistic looking.

Alexander Grivonev
Thanks a lot! Again, it looks absoilutely stunning 👍

Neuling
Excellent model and base.

Michael Kohl
Very fine street segment. Thanks for the link to the german manhole covers. They caught my attention too. Now it needs a more modern german car. I doubt that the Benz vehicle will do. And a figure of course. 🙂

Jakub Fiala
Great!

Villiers de Vos
Flawless.
