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. 👍

Watching!

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. 👍

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. 👍

Robert Podkoński
Watching with interest 🙂

Mr D
Thanks Robert 😁👍
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.
👍

Ben M

Guy Rump
Lovely collection. 👍

Mr D
Thanks Guy 😁👍
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
Thanks for the lovely Likes 😁👍
Will have to look into the fiddly weapons next.

Skyhiker
Looking good

Andrzej Rygiel
I like to do 144th scale minis in between some bigger scale models and your Tigershark is an eye-catcher, it will really stand out in this bright livery! Gives me some ideas for my next builds 😉

Mr D
Hi Andrzej.
Thanks 👍 yes they are nice to do now n then between or after bigger builds.
Yes it's a nice bright red, the Northrop factory colour.
Good luck with your projects 👍👍

Mr D
Thanks for the Likes everyone 😀👍
Nice quick easy little build, the paints are AK Intense acrylic.

Miguel Vaquero
Looking pretty good D. Amazing as always

Mr D
Hi Miguel 👋, thanks ... appreciate it.
This one was moulded quite good, l had to build up the bottom intake on one side a little, but l think that was me not fitting the part level.
I have an F-4 phantom from this range in the stash, l managed to get so 144 German decals for it ....they cost more than the kit 🙄🤣.

Miguel Vaquero
Well I'm really hoping to see more of your 144 work because it's impressive. And as for the F4 decals, well, spending money is the biggest part of this hobby 🤣🤣

Mr D
True 🤣 l need a good soviet cockpit paint now 🙄
