Nice!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Thanks Gents - I'm glad you like it!

Kari - you're right, it looks much better with a red star comrade!

Thanks Gents - glad you like it. Sometimes it's nice to indulge in a bit of Whiffery!

Thank's to Shane's nice comment about this thread (thank you!), I've just realised I've not updated this with the latest build - the Chengdu F-7A (Chinese built Mig-21F-13).

Here's the kit I'm using!

Image

And here's were I am now (actually a bit further along) - you've probably already seen this on my 'productions' thread.

Image

Since this I've added a few more coats of polished aluminium and she's almost ready for decalling (all 8 of them :-D ) Note - the one in the photo above is a post Cold-war aircraft, hence why it's grey. I'm build an earlier aircraft in NMF.

Cheers comrades!
