I admire the challenge you are undertaking here. The kit looks like a real challenge to get to fit properly. Great work

Hello Scott 🙂 thanks for commenting, much appreciated 👍 Yes, I always tend to build these older 'cranky' kits... Not sure why really! 😂

Haha honestly I prefer "crappy", I would have used the same description. Actually I'm super curious how it look after a proper build and painting, never thought this antique kit can fly to Europe 😂, I can't even find it over here…
I wasn't assured if people like my build… especially Chengdu J-10 isn't pop over here

Anyways thanks for your encouragement Neil, I like your builds too.

Hiya Chan Li 🙂 haha... Nothing like that for me! Thanks very much for your comment - It's because I'm lazy and couldn't be bothered to mask it all up! So decided to use a 'hairy stick' instead. I'm happy with the result and nearly there with it, more images coming soon 👍

It looks good though, smooth and even, I used to do hand paint as well… but now I rely too much on airbrush.

"Crap"! I'm afraid I have to use this word again, I accidentally touched the reject button when I saw your request, it was probably my stupid thumb was too big to touch the cell phone screen.
I hope you accept the friend request from here, with my apologetic salute😁.

1 6 May, 23:30

Neil
Hi Chan Li, haha! Yes crap is indeed a useful word! No problem at all... I'm useless at doing things like that too. It's truly a wonder I ever build a model with these fingers! 😂 No offence taken. I accept your request 👍🙂

Wow i built this old dog about 30 years ago and i think it was released about 30 years before that! (around 1962 from Hawk i think?) I did the NASA scheme back then.

8 April, 21:40

Neil
Thanks David 👍 Hi Glenn, yeah agreed, it's an old one for sure. I only really build up vintage stuff. I almost went for the NASA variant, but the condition of the kit decals dictated my choice really. 👍🙂

Hi Neil, Excellent!... Yes a modelling reminisce is (nearly) always pleasant! 😉 I agree, I loved my newsagent Matchbox builds. They were an easy to enjoy build for a child and looked more-or-less as they should to a non-expert modeller like me. Plus of course they were inexpensive - I just wanted my bedroom shelves and my ceiling to be covered in models... I never liked Airfix - I know sacrilege! I appreciate that likely makes me an unskilled hack.

3 May, 13:27

Neil Patrick
I just thought of another quality of vintage Matchbox vs. Airfix. On my last two builds I have used a mixture of 40+year old Airfix and Matchbox decals. The Airfix ones almost disintegrated. The Matchbox ones performed good as new. It's also a cruel irony that 'serious' modellers always complained about the 'trench like' panel lines on Matchbox aircraft, yet the newest Airfix kits I have feature panel lines only slightly narrower and even deeper. Not a good look IMHO...

Good luck with the decals, Neil, I'm just waiting for the clear gloss to cure (48 hrs) then it's decal time for my YB-58 👍

Question: which colors did you used for the camo?

26 March, 16:35

Neil
Hi Fabio73 🙂 very kind of you to comment/like. 👍 Yes, I too think there is life in these vintage kits; albeit they're not as slick as the new ones. I believe they have a charm of their own.

I'll keep a look out for your build too when it's on the bench, I'm sure you'll do a sterling job 👍

I used a selection of paints, but the main basis used there was Vallejo Soviet/Russian colors tactical schemes 1978-1989 (part II) Art. 71.608. I tend to go my own way in paint a bit 😉 so take my schemes completed as having a basis in reality with a dollop of 'what if' 😁

No I haven't seen the Thunderbirds any time in my life, but here in Greece we still have Phantoms flying and back in 2013 there was a show here for the 60 years of the 348 TRS. Great show from 4 Phantoms roaring right above us.

Oh wow! Bet that was impressive. And LOUD! 🔊 I have seen the Thunderbirds at IAT, but flying f16s. 👍 It was spectacular and very American in showmanship 😎
