Title says it all....not sure yet how I'll put the engines on, but I'm sure I'll figure something out.

All finished!  I know, it would have FOD issues with that intake, but I still like it! :cheers:

Interesting.  Nicely done.  Might have a bit of a problem with the nose wheel blanking the intake when it retracts though.  Also FOD might be a problem as well.   :thumbsup:

Very nice, I missed it somehow too.

FOD hoover, not much different to the MiG-9 I guess. Just write it into the back story that it was prone to debris ingestion & that SOP was for an Opel Blitz to go off down the runway with a couple of guys with big brooms before take off!
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Lovely
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Thanks guys!  I used Model Master Acryllic RLM 81, 82 (actually 83 per label but MM messed up 82/83....83 is really 82 and 82 is really 83...yea confusing...) and RLM 76 on the bottom.

Damn fine work!!!!

Re the FOD issue, maybe something similar to what the Russians do could be used:
