Fuselage halves of F-18 and MiG-21

MiG-21bis nose on place. The fuselage of F-18 needed to be broaden.

Gearbay needed some bits to hide gaps.
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/7/7/3/1342773-72957-63-720.jpg)
Some Milliput between the front and rear fuselages.

Instead of Fouga's V-tail I'm using the wings because their size suits better.

Fouga-wings got decals.
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/1/7/2/1351172-72957-85-720.jpg)
I finally got Vallejo Air 71.114 medium grey for the top side. It is the color that Italeri instructions told. I'm not sure if it is right one or too dark.

MiG-nose getting paint.

![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/7/8/6/1352786-72957-47-720.jpg)
Landing gear bays just handpainted because I didn't bother to mask them and airbrushing into inner parts difficult.
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/7/8/3/1354783-72957-48-720.jpg)
Underside decals added
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/5/9/0/1355590-72957-52-720.jpg)
Topside decals added.
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/8/0/4/1357804-72957-76-720.jpg)
Weathering done. Next is matt varnish and borig landing gears and armament.
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/7/2/5/1359725-72957-23-720.jpg)
Landing gears added. Not so white as they should be...
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/7/2/6/1359726-72957-38-720.jpg)
Weaponry and tanks coming up
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/7/6/4/1363764-72957-10-720.jpg)
It is completed!

Wow...I am speechless 😄. Will you paint it exactly like in the cartoon?

Thanks Marius 😄 yes I will paint it almost like in the cartoon, so the origins of the parts would be visible.

👍🏻Cool idea and nice result so far S M!
Imagine a Hornet with this tail pulling 7 G's😝…

Thanks, mates! 😄 the 7G-pulling tail has just got the decals. The main plane is few steps behind.

Welcome aboard, mates! This haven't progressed much lately, because I encountered two problems. I'm not getting decals to set on Fouga's wing panel lines. Maybe I missed the timing or my Micro Sol is too old and weak. Or are Special Hobby's decals somehow difficult to handle? Also the grey Vallejo's paint that came with the Italeri kit is too old and bad. It clogs my airbrush even when I'm using a lot of thinner and flow improver. I guess I need to get to local hobby shop for a new paint and decal softeners.

Take your time, don't rush this 'F/A 170 Fishbed' project😜
Tip: for really difficult decals, you could try 'Daco decal setting strong version' ( pienoismallimarketti..&product_id=9558 )

The effort to finish this model is not to be underestimated. Congratulations! 😄

Epic! The original cartoonist would certainly be proud - and so should you! Congrats! 👍 👍
