Interesting subject. Just watched a documentary the other day of the development of Swedish aircraft. This was included.

Nice! I really enjoyed building this one, and very pleased with how it turned out. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. If you post a build album I will follow along as well!

Well, first, MAKE SURE YOU GET A MASK SET! Unless you are a tape masochist, do not even attempt to mask this yourself. I used the DN Models mask set and it worked pretty well for me. Don't sweat anomalies, soft edges from tape and mask lifting, or improper placement until after all the colors are down. You can always go back in after and clean up edges and other errors. If you look at my build album, there are some pics of my progress and comments made along the way. It may be of some help:

Noted. Thanks Michael! The chap on the stall at IPMS said that there was a "Special Hobby" Mask set due out next year, but if you were happy with the DN models one then I might go with that as it is more of a known quantity!

With the AGM-65's how did you get the join between the main part and back part of the missile parallel and perfectly lined up?

Hi there mate. I saw that you own the A-4 Adversaries decals. Would you consider selling the full set or possibly part of set designated for one of the schemes?

Thanks Slavo, Soeren, Daniel, Jos, Nathan, James, and Clifford! You flatter me with your kind words. I appreciate it so much!
I have finished the metalwork and added some more parts, and she is now fully on her feet! Still have to finish the gear doors and start on the weapons, as well as paint the seats and finish the canopy. Getting there!

You really seem to have the hang of making carrier-borne aircraft - this is another fine specimen of your talented scale modeling ability. 👍
Only little complain I have is that the weathering looks more "dusty" than "muddy" as I would expect from a Rhino. Though maybe that's just due to the lighting and the black colour.

Jos, I would really like to see you tackle a Raptor.
Slavo's what-if F-23A sounds pretty cool.
My entry will be a T-50 PAK FA from Zvezda (which is russian for Star). If things go my way, a what if MiG 1.44 might join the party.
Nice list Michael!

Missed the build, but at least came in to see the result... Which is a thing to see, no question about it! While I myself do not think about doing something that does not feature a jet nozzle at the end, or at least a metallic finish, it was a pleasure to see some of the 4-th gen masters do a prop... Great job Michael, and a cool choice of topic 👍 Maybe a Pyrenean He-111 to accompany it, some day?😉

Thanks Daniel, Patrick, Clifford, and Daniel! I think I will do another one one of these days.
Daniel, I used Tamiya tape for curves for the camo. Love using that stuff! I never got very good results using Blu-Tac, so if I want hard edges I use the tape, and soft edges I just do it freehand.

Do you have the actual kit already?
In any case, will be there once this gets in motion!

Hmmm, that is a good idea Roland. Maybe a Russian Aircraft GB so that it could be opened up to any Sukhoi, Mikoyan and Gurevich, Yakovlev, Mil, Kamov, Ilyushin, or Tupolev of any era. Russian Aircraft in Russian Markings. Anyone in???

Slavo, Yeah, there are plenty of cool options for this aircraft, I am having a hard time deciding which one to go with. Right now I am thinking Russian Navy with the dark gray upper side and blue camo underside (which is pictured and a really cool scheme), but the MKI prototype with the blizzard camo is super cool too. Also the standard Russian AF SM blue camo scheme is nice too.
I do not yet have the kit, but I have a pre-order in at Lucky Model for this one. I may end up getting a second one one of these days so I can do two options. I think the twin seat Flankers with canards are the coolest looking of all Flankers.

Welcome Erik, Sergej, and Michael!
Yeah Michael, this is definitely off the beaten track for me. But this will be a bit of a laid back build for me, completely OOB other than decals and not going to worry to much about details and accuracy, although I will try my best to be accurate as a whole.
Anyway, the album for this build has been started, and can be found here:
Scalemates Messerschmitt Bf 109 Group Build 2020 | Album by Fighting 84 (1:48)
Not much to report so far, just some assembly and priming of the cockpit. My paints arrived Friday, so I am good to go there.

I know I've already commented on this build Michael, but I must say that today I attended an outdoor (full bio warfare garb) bazaar for model kits and I saw the kit from your project on someone's table and just kept staring at the open box and thought about your build. I must say the seller noticed and joked, but I brought up your album and showed him. After I sat the box back down the seller took the kit off of his table and returned it to his car boot. You moved someone's kit from the "I don't need this kit" pile to his "I have to build this" pile. That's freakin' awesome.

I'm drooling. It's beautiful. Where did you get all those weapons markings. I have all the weapons, but no markings. Sprue Brothers sells a marking sheet, but it is out of stock at the moment.

Thanks Jos, Slavo, Zhou, Alexander, Daniel, Nathan, Daniel, and Clifford!
Jos, what happened on yours? I am glad I can motivate you though!
Slavo, actually the kit includes no weapons at all. The decals come with the missiles that I used from the Meng Long Range US Ordnance (Phoenix and Sparrow) and AMK US Ordnance (Sidewinder) sets. The Figthertown sheet does include missile stencils though, but I figure I will save those for OOB missiles some day.
Clifford, the markings are from the Meng and AMK Weapons sets I used.
