Flappydaffy's thread: I'm back on page 23 (Gnat, Provost and Mig 3)

Julian,

Glad to hear that it took you more or less the same time as for me, when I get to finish a plane.... 

Your Mig 1.44 rocks! We need more of that stuff here! This one is definitely on the top of the list of my favourites.
And something very interesting btw is, how big of a beast this Mig is, compared to the mighty dragon and YF-23 (which both aren't small compared to other combat jets....!)

Cheers

The 1.44 looks awesome ! Neat choice of colours. That's one of those aeroplanes that I'm on the fence with. Some angles it looks great, while others it just seems wrong.....

And that's quite the stealthy collection you're building ! I'd like to see one painted up to blend in with the carpet

And it's small compared to its competitor the S-37... Bigger is better, thank Yorgi

I agree, and he definitely looks better in the air than on the ground!!

And here we have it folks!! A second finished kit in the same month (don't get used to it ^^). Airifx kit with PJ Pilots and some custom made decals Hope you'll like it, and I recommend the kit that turns into a fun nerves calming build!!























I'm of to find a new started model kit that could use a coat of paint, the airbrush is warmed up ^^

cheers

That's sweet! 

Love the pale, pastel colors!

[bearmatt]

Very nice! It has something greekish to me... 
Any more information about this "palm tree airforce"....? 

[loupgarou]

Like the camo a lot! Should be very effective in desert areas.
Any more info about your air force?

[flappydaffy]

It's a plane from the Royal Fiji Air force  I found the roundels on this website but I don't remember where

Second that. Just had a couple of days ago the idea to create "something" with an Iran-inspired livery in pale ochre and bluish grey, similar to your creation. Very nice!

That's the spirit !

Great job on the little Gnat. Lovely subtle camo to her. How much surgery did you have to do on the pilots to wedge them in there ? Or did you just put them on a strict diet..... The more I see the Gnat, the more I want one ! Or two....love the shot from the top. That thing has some neat shapes to it !

It's been a while since this build started, but I don't recall any problems with the pilots. Since the were payed before the seats were, I will have to call this one on: entered with no effort !

She looks wonderful. Cracking build mate. 

[Ian the Kiwi Herder]

Really like that. Love that pastel camouflage.

What a cracking looking Gnat
Nice camouflage too.
I can recommend a Gnat (or two) to any one
And when you've finished it (them) you could post
Them in the Gnat group build
