Bruce, I guess I am now back dir updates. Always like the Images you provide.
I hope my MiG-28 will loose a bit its F-5 shape. It is supposed to be a carrier based sowjet F-14 opponent.

Marius— I hope you are here because you like being here! 2018 is busy already! When I read “sowjet” I thought “sau” not “Soviet” and for a few minutes wondered if pigs really could fly!!!! All the best!
Make more models!

After struggeling with my self-made nozzles I decided to saw again. Then I attached the back section of an old MiG-1.44 in 1:144 scale. Almost a perfect match. Now I am triming that. Beside that I needed something to relax. Scotch is almost empty, replacement is Hasegawa's F-16.

Now that is some serious surgery, grafting on the new rear end.... :hmm: And it all faired in quite well! Wow!

Thanks Stik!

First layer of primer by using cockpit color shows still some tasks but shows also a good basic. I guess the shape is now convincing. For myself for sure.
