EDIT: When I saw the thread title, I thought of a Mi-28 in JGSDF colours. Might not be a bad idea, this.

You and me both!

Sorry for the confusion folks the alternative title was "Meatball Madness" but with some of the folks around here, I didn't want to open myself up to too many jokes!!  ;D

Thanks for the comments folks!

I am planning on reposting some of my other Japanese models with my improved photo skills (in other words a better camera and clean background)

Bought this B-17F from Cliffy B and I noted that this old 1/72 Revell kit really does not look like a B-17  :blink: So I cut out sections of the wings to save shelf space (for the back story it is meant to make it faster!) Lengthened the engine nacelles with 1/48 F-14 Exhausts (which also added some much needed detail) And then cut the fronts off of the 1/48 engine faces for the spinners on the props. The tail fins are from an old and busted 1/48 A-10. It was supposed to be a quick project but like all my builds took longer than expected. It is very close to being done but the landing gear are fighting me, and I need to come up with some kind of solution for that before I can weather it.

Glad to see that you could turn that old junked kit into something this stunning man!  Love the ball turret as the dorsal turret  ;D  Can't wait to see it finished!

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?

So what happens when your brightly colored training aircraft suddenly need to be camouflaged for combat and you only have black paint on hand? Sometimes a solution jumps onto your foot:
