Cartoon Hornet+Fouga+MiG
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.
Some Milliput between the front and rear fuselages.
Instead of Fouga's V-tail I'm using the wings because their size suits better.
Panel lines preshaded.
Fouga-wings got decals.
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.
Landing gear bays just handpainted because I didn't bother to mask them and airbrushing into inner parts difficult.
Underside decals added
Topside decals added.
Weathering done. Next is matt varnish and borig landing gears and armament.
Landing gears added. Not so white as they should be...
Weaponry and tanks coming up
It is completed!

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

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 )
