That's strange, I picked up a copy of SAM yesterday & a guy named Seb Videc has done a Berkut in the same camo scheme, but without the naval mods.  Nice stuff from both of them!

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

^ Sebastijan is also a member on ARC. He posted two pics of his Su-47 there, but his PB account contains a couple more. Can't link to the album, though, so I'll post IMG tags.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

And yet more whiffery goodness from ARC!

I really like the slightly darker borders on the camo spots.

Yep, that's the one, very nice build.  When I first saw the article, I thought, great, a whiff has got into a mainstream magazine, then I saw the photoshop & thought Sukhoi must have slipped the Berkut into camo when I wasn't looking.  Glad to find out it really was a whiff after all!

Tuesday's update on ARC features a 1/32 vacform model of the Lightning F.6.  In the modeler's description, he talks about building the model so it can be displayed clean or in three different stores combinations, the last of which he describes as a "whifer"(sic) showing the aircraft carrying Red Tops and overwing tanks, as seen here:



The thing is, this is the fit that can be seen in the Hasegawa box art.  I thought it was a standard loadout.

It's not a whiff load out, F.6's carried tanks with both standard & aquisition Red Tops.  I've got pics of that exact aircraft, XS903 'BA', it's preserved at the Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington. As preserved, the aircraft has the NMF portion on the ventral tank painted over also it has a mix of Firesteak & Red Top Armament.  The model hasn't carried these over so if it is a 'whifer' in any way, I can't work it out.

May worth someone whose active on ARC prodding him for more info?

I can't help thinking I've seen this before, but it was posted on today's front page for Canada Day, so I thought I'd post (or re-post, or riposte, for that matter).

A MiG-29 inspired by Macross Zero. Not only a cool idea, but some fantastic craftsmanship at work there as well.  :thumbsup:







Many more pics >>HERE<< on ARC.

Sebastijan, builder of the Su-47 a couple of posts back, built this Bristol T.188. While technically not a whif, it has some air of whiffing about it and, plain and simple, is just to beautiful to not be mentioned. :wub:



Another pic can be seen >>HERE<<.

Now that Bristol 188 is stunning however it's not accurate :wacko:

The SIG stand gets parked underneath it every year at the Cosford Show so we have all had a very good look at it. To start with the port fusalage roundel has a large paint run from the blue outer ring which can be seen at a distance plus there is a dent in the port nose where Kit keeps banging his head. There are also numerous other bump's dents and gaps requiring filling  ;D

I know I'm joking but it does show that if you built an accurate model of the example at Cosford with all these "faults" you'd be laughed out of modeling court unless you had copious photo refs. It's like Hendon's 262 and it's gaps at the wing roots !!!

Serious thanks for posting as that was one of my all time favourite aircraft as a kid, it had a certain Dan Dare look about it  :thumbsup:

Love these last models :wub: :wub: :wub: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :bow: :bow: :bow:
BTW I think that norwegian Gripen will not be a whif for long. Was it a promotional model? :wacko:
