Look like F-100 wings.

Either way, it looks great! Totally believable!!

The Monogram Snark is 1/80something. I have one in my stash. Lindberg made (or makes still) a 1/48 Snark.

Woah ! That would surely turn some heads if it showed up at sea to rescue a US reg. ship !

Loving that! I know i've a Matchbox hind, stacked away somewhere.

Cappy, you think it would turn heads on a Rescue mission, consider what it could do for Drug Enforcement... an armored, well armed monster like that chasing down your little cigarette smuggling boat?  I don't think that would be a very good day.

I'd thought of painting one up as a Civil Air Patrol SAR bird...

Nice find! Peru did drug raids with its Mi-24, even though in a cammo paint scheme - even though these machines are not less colorful!



SEA scheme taken to the extreme! 

As a side note, I remember other Soviet aircraft wearing USAF markings for movies. I have seen a MiG-15 from a movie still (and, no, it's not the one tested in the USA), so the CG-Mi 24 is very plausible. Looks even more sophisticated than pseudo-soviet aircraft that turned up in Western media...

Look!  It's a MiG-15!  No, it's a Ta-183!  No, it's a Mig!  No, it's a Huckebein!  A MiG!  A Huckebein!

Well, you decide!

PM Ta-183 AKA MiG-15



Very nicely done as well.  Good thinking to take the HobbyBoss MiG-15 as a "MiG bits" provider.  The end result is nicely finished and rather smart looking to boot!

Nice one - another proof that you can actually make something from the very basic PM kit. I had that one on the bench last week, too, but that one saw a major conversion...

Wow.  That Peruvian Hind is amazing.

I found more pics.




And a Cuban one that's quite striking.

I think a PDRV anti smuggler Hind in Archipelago camo is in order...

[Captain Canada]

What a great shot of those two Peruvian Hinds taking off !



Yes....build some !

And yet another beauty from the HS crew:
