Work in Progress, a shoal of Fish...........beds!!

chrisonord · January 26, 2010, 09:36:13 AM

Here is my shoal of fishbeds, in various states of rebuild and repaint. Some are from years ago and have had a reprieve from the bone yard, others are recent builds that have been upgraded for the Cartel air wing. The main upgrade for most is the fitment of a newer more powerful engine, and on one example conformal fuel tanks. Newer avionics have been fitted to nearly all of them as alot have been salvaged from the scrap yards and museums. Also shown is the aircraft waiting to be built, these are from various manufacturers and will also when built be upgraded and rearmed accordingly.On its way is a Mig-21 SMT also.

Cheers,
Chris.

Isn't there something marvellous about the Fishbed?!
And those are wonderful models.

I have found on my hard-drive a photo of Twin-Fishbed model. This would be even more special in your collection, no?

Thanks for that Tophe, I think a twin Fishbed would be quite cool looking, especially with the cockpit moved to the new centreline.
Cheers,

That's quite the selection of Fishbeds!

Especially like the one with the grey/green/blue splinters!
