Bolleken's 1:72 stuff
Beside several other projects I am currently working on a Matchbox MiG-21 (in flight).
I guess this finnish fighter won't look that bad.

Re: MiG-21 by Matchbox
Another one in work is a Dassault Rafale A by Heller in 1:72.
Currently it is almost ready to be painted as the demonstrator. I was too grasping
to buy any PE-parts for the cockpit, so I made a screenshot from Rafale-PEs and printed them at home on paper. I like that look and it might be enough for that scale.

and a novel (if only a little bit naughty) idea to screenshot and print the PE on paper...

Naughty but cheap. And easy because you'll find a lot of PE's on the web without any branding or other protection. So it's quick 'n dirty...

Every take-off has a landing...some are just better than others

Hi and thanks. This stand is selfmade using a selfbended metal rod and a fuel tank cap by Bentley.
Not the best pictures size, nevertheless my Dad photoshoped one of my pictures.
