Rolf Rolf
Nice, what's the kit like? I've been looking at getting it

Sergej I
Watching, good start! 👍

Guy Rump
Weights added to the nose. Internal part where cockpit will go sprayed Vallejo Model Air intermediate blue. Engine intake internals painted Vallejo Model Air Insignia white. 🙂

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Mr D, Sukhoi242 & Austin LAI. 👍

@Rolf Rolf, Thanks for the kind comment. The kit is quite complex with a lot of parts and, as with some of the newer Airfix kits you have to be accurate as the fit is very tight. Other than that, so far, so good! 👍

Guy Rump
Intakes added to fuselage and cockpit added. 🙂

Welcome Segej! 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Tibor S & Matti T. 👍

Mike Montgomery
I wonder if they got the engines right for the RAF Phantom. That's one area where kit manufacturers constantly get wrong.

Guy Rump
Fuselage now together. 🙂

Welcome DerMattes, Dave & Mike. 👍 @Mike, not certain about the engines, not an expert at all. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Sergej I, Mona, Dave F, Maciej B & Arif S. 👍

Mirko Römer

Guy Rump
Air intake covers on, wings and flaps on as well. 🙂

Many thanks for the kind comment Mirko. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Martin G, Mirko R, Patryk S & Oliver. 👍

Guy Rump
All pf the flaps on, engine burners on, ready for primer. 🙂

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Jonathan L, Sergio O, Hajo L & Johann C. 👍

Guy Rump
Primer added and pre-shading. I have put the main canopy on to protect the cockpit. I'll be using the open canopies for the final result. 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Der Mattes. 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber

Mr D
Brilliant....great model 👏👍

Hans-Jürgen Haag
Yes, one's more 👍👍👍😍

Mr D
😲 wow.... Didn't realise the size.
I don't know the TV show....was it Japan??

John Hughes
Mr D, UFO, A Gerry Anderson series from the turn of the '70's.

Mr D
Thanks John... I will look it up as only remember Thunderbird's
😁👍

Dave Burgess
Mr D. Nope. A Gerry Anderson production. In case you're not familiar with him: Thunderball XL-5; Captain Scarlet; Stingray; Thunderbirds; All done with Supermarionation; UFO (1970) and Space:1999 (1972), both done with live actors. Most of these were created for British TV, then shown in Canada, the US and other countires.

Dave Burgess
Mr D. Don't confuse my model (1:48) which is about 7" long from some of the shots of the studio model which I included in the album. That one is somebody else's and yes, it's 4-5' long!

Mr D
AHH ok...🤣 I thought it was big in photo....need big display cabinet 🤔

Mr D
Thanks Alberto 👍
How's the Be-12 going?

Robert Podkoński
Watching with interest 🙂

Mr D

I've built few of these little guy,s there nice n easy n refreshing after bigger builds.

Mr D
Thanks Villiers 👋😃👍
.fun little builds good for filling gaps on the shelf .

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Skyhiker
I think you should do the factory test model red AND the conservative grey scheme! They are both cool. Heck maybe you should do 20 or 30 of these little suckers. That would be fun.

Mr D
Hi Skyhiker 👋
Thanks.... the red looks smart, quite a few weapons to paint up too.. going to need my magnifying visor.
I have the German F4 phantom and the hornet lined up in the stash 🤣

Mr D
Thanks Edouard 👍
I noticed you have the Airfix Tomahawk on order?
That's a really nice kit to build ...goes together well , the back wheel n control stick are bit fragile! So be careful.

Ben M
Is that a Su-9 in photo 10?

Mr D
Hi Ben 👋
It's
Starfighter,
F-14 tomcat,
Mig-21
Mig-23 ground attack version.

The little 1:144 good for saving room 🤣.
I would like to do full size Starfighter at some point .

Mr D
^^ full size 🤣🤣 1:48 ^^

Ben M
Hahaha! I have a "full size" starfighter coming up too. It's such a beautiful aircraft.

gorby
Nice result on all of them.

Mr D
Thanks Gorby Appreciate it....there my little fill-in substitutes ....till l get round to 1:48
Definitely want to do a Starfighter in larger scale.
Good luck with your projects 👍

Mr D

Jan Peters
Welcome mates

Jan Peters
Made a careful start. Parts are a mixed bag, some very nicely done, some a bit crude and oversized.

Jan Peters
Any thoughts on how to make the anti radar material on the snorkel?

Matti Thomaes
Can't help you there Jan, I didn't even know there was anti-radar material on the snorkel...

Jan Peters
I had a go at it, looks more crude in the pictures then it looks in real life, might do some fine tuning later

Sebastian Meyner
Nice work so far Jan 👍 Following with interest 👀

Jan Peters
Thanks Sebastian, and welcome 🤗

Jan Peters
It would be nice to see someone do a 3d printed snorkel someday.
