You got your work cut out for you

Carlos Proença
This will be one of the easiest...

Guido
First time I'm seeing the Tamiya tyres being completely cracked up...

Should be interesting to see how you'll get along with it. Good luck!

Carlos Proença
Good question Guido.... dont know how!!!!

Carlos Proença
From my research on the subject, I will opt to use Stormsure "Black", which is more flexible.

I will prepare the edges of any cracks that run all the way through the carcass by gently roughing them up with a small file or piece of wet and dry paper, and then apply no more glue than necessary – a pin can help to get very small amounts of glue into the cracks.

I separated the engine from the chassis so I could paint the chassis again, after careful sanding.

The next project is up and running. This one will likely get a slow start as there's another hurricane headed my way…

Nathan Dempsey
Well we survived that darn hurricane and had power restored yesterday by some fine Canadian fellows from Nova Scotia. The project continues with some progress to the fuselage.

If anyone has the Australian decals version of the Italeri Land Rover 109 LWB in 1/48 scale, I would be happy to discuss buying it.

Cuajete
Interesting...

For the longest time I had no idea that this jet was a competitor to the F-15 project back in the old days.

DerMattes
When I compared this kit with the Revell F-16, it seems like the XL one is a little bit too small. Or the Revell F-16 is a little bit too big. How does this kit compare to other F-16s, like the Hobby Boss?

Tony Stark
DerMattes I have heard this theory before.
I think from what I've read you are correct and the .Monogram kit is a shade too short.
With it being the only one though I'm not going to give it any criticism as I'm just glad to have 2 of them.
I would love to get a few more and explore adding a spine and CFT's to 1 and some other cool ideas.

Cuajete
Awesome model. Well done so far!

Tony Stark
Thanks!

Cuajete
Looking so good.

Andy Ball
terrific!, was this a challenge to build?

Tony Stark
Thank you, when compared to the 1/144th Revell Space Shuttle it's a doddle but there are w few flaws.
All in all it's not a bad kit.

Marius
Looka great Adam! That's a big model!

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic work!

Cuajete
Very nice... Well done!
Congrats!

Kalle Kindel
This here is a very nice build and a very thorough review! But I couldn't find what info you used on the paint scheme and what decals you used?

CaptGPF
Great work!

Tony Stark
Hiya Kalle.
The Ukrainian Air Force paint scheme is a What if, the inspiration was the IL-76 Candid that bought over the 2 Flankers to RIAT before the Pandemic.
More updates on her are coming soon as I have decided to rework her.
The decals were used from the kit.

Kalle Kindel
It's interesting that my kit only comes with decals with red stars. It looks to me like it's this decal. An-12 Cub (Authentic Decals 72-09, 1:72)
Anyway, it's an interesting idea and I should make something similar out of my kit🙂

Tony Stark
I do have one of the other boxing of this kit so they probably came from that.
Hope your build goes well, she can be abit of a filler queen!
