Older Radish Models....

And here's an Italeri 1/48th Typhoon with lots of mods, the main one being the nose extension which is just the cap off a Felt Tip pen inserted between the front fuselage and radome. The scheme is white all over with Halford's Primer, Yellow "Eastern Front" ID markings, and Blue Unit Leader markings. Decals from an AeroMaster 1/48th Albatros Sheet and kit. The scenario was Ukraine, Eastern Front conflict in 2015. I won the "Antic Trophy" with this at the Avon Show, Yate a few years ago.

I remember the felt-tip-typhoon, but I especially like the Israeli 190

[NARSES2]

In the Prague Air Museum at Kleby (however you spell it) there are details and pics of Czech 190's - A models. They had planed to build them aparently.

[Radish]

So then, an Israeli Fw-190A or F....needs to happen!!

"Fishface at the Ready"

This Mick Coyne/Gerry Vitch "Mick-21D Fishface (WW)" belongs to the Secret Serpent Squadron of the Irish air Corps. Aircraft "6", the "2" is for disinformation, is a fully modified Wicked Wizard weapon, carrying a variety of stores and equipment. Engine power is boosted by the addition of synthetic-Suppalot into the fuel supply. Weapons include air-to-air Shillelagh missiles, an air-to-ground Super Mavis missile, twin 30mm cannon, air-to-ground unguided Leper missiles, Potato Pud air mines, and a quite complete electronics fit that allows the pilot to seek out and jam the radars of potential targets. The "Wicked Wizard" fit on the "Fishface" has been used on Mick-21s of the Scottish Union Air Force (SUAF) too, although the choice of jamming material is different. The Irish Air Corps use constant playing of "The Dubliners" to destroy/block out the enemy radars, but constant upgrading is possible. For extreme occasions, "All Kinds Of Everything" by Dana has been used, but the UN have indicated that this is harmful to the mental health of all within the operating area. SUAF software is, at present, unknown, but may include the singing of Kenneth McKeller and readings by Kenny Dalgliesh of his own poetry.
Kit: 1/48th Academy MiG-21PF(modified)
Decals: MAX and spares

Always nice to see the "old favourites" Terry...but where is that great Roman Cutlass?? That and the Indian wars armoured car got me into this Wif lark.

LOL - I love the Fishface, and I can already see some JMN spitting feathers at the "mis-use" of "precious" IAC markings....  :thumbsup:

[ChernayaAkula]

[Sauragnmon]

Somehow I *JUST* found this thread. Thought I am a fan of "fans" and not into "blowtorches", there are some fine whifs, here, radish!

[Captain Canada]

Some beauty stuff there Radish ! Love the Tornado, and the Daks. That Typhoon thing is pretty wild as well !

[Radish]

Dork, the Cutlass is on page 2 of the section under it's own heading.

Glad you've enjoyed the Daks, Cap'n, I'm thinking of upgrading another one with Turboprops, etc., and lots of gizmos, for RAF service "Anti-Immigration" Control circa 2011.
The UK is the country with the lowest living space per person in Europe....there's just too many of us now, and we live in little boxes.

The UK is the country with the lowest living space per person in Europe

And not to get political, but anyone who points this out is instantly called a racist   And thats including the Scottish Highlands which have the lowest population density in Europe!  The RAF calls it Moon Country

Keep 'em coming Terry

[Radish]

Not one of mine, but good friend Simon Mepstead did this distinctly odd Korean War F-86F, with the story that the Crew Chief had this aircraft painted PINK overnight as the pilot's wife had given birth to a baby girl.
Mmmmmmmm

[kitbasher]

Fishface!  What a great name.  Can someone bring back the Cold War so it can be used for real, please?
