This is a Whiffy out of a french comic called "the adventures of Buck Danny"

The kit is an Italeri (former ESCI sprue) Starfighter, 1/72

Unfortunately this plane was shot down by a US Navy Tomcat / AIM-54....

Like his wingman #16

Other planes (E. g. Hornet of the Managua AF to be build...)

I'm not at all familiar with the comic, but that model is very nice.

nice work, i kind of a Buck Danny fan myself, ive been playing with the idea of building a Flying Tigers A-4D and Pirate F-86D Sabredog from the comic "Flying Tigers attack" (dont know if thats the right translation from Dutch to English)

for those not familiar with the comic book, its a French/Belgian aviation themed comic, similat to Blackhawks, but in a more realistic scenario.

ive seen some Images of the Managuan Air Force, although i would like to build the MAF F-18A, i dont seem to be able to find clear shots of the tail.

from this angle it looks pretty good, i'll be waiting to see your MAF Hornet

Looks good indeed, that scheme suits the 104 very well!

I would say those comics were translated to Turkish as well; is there a story that involves F-100s fighting black painted Drakens? Nice model, too.

Also there is this warning about restricted servers, IPMS... I believe. Something I am doing wrong or is it about the comic pages which don't show up for me?
