Looks great, clean gluing lines

Impressive!!!

Hello all One small update. I finished with main landing gear housing structure, nothing serious here. Only two things made me scratch my head. The markings are slightly incorrect, left side sould go to the right. Also, vertical parts i.e. the ribs should have their black contour line removed to...

Well, it doesn't really matter if it was a good or a bad plane. It has its place in history of aviation, and quite a respectful one, being the most produced jet fighter in the world. And it has a nostalgic value for me, since the MiG21 was the first jet fighter I saw up close. And it has an...

Thanks all, actually I had to use a magnifying glass to work on the belts. BTW, it seems the lower belts are a bit too long. Nevermind, it will be like that.

Thanks!!!

Hello all Last time I began with ejection seat, this time I finished it. Very good parts fit, pretty close to real thing, great instructions, not too many overcomplicated things here. Nothing too difficult here. But I understood that the seat should have been made only at the time of canopy...

Thanks a bunch!!!

Hello all. Some time ago a began a new model, this time the MiG-21-F13 designed by the late Andrew Inwald, AKA Kangaroo. The model is in late Egyptian Air Force camouflage, green-tan on the upper surfaces, sky blue on the lower, meaning post-1968. The United Arab Republic roundels on the model...

I guess amazing is the word.

Hello all Our fellow Alexei designed a very nice model of RAFAEL SPICE 2000 in 1:33. The model is distributed for free as is. It can be mounted on many planes models.. The model can be downloaded here: Spice 2000 Enjoy!!!

Thanks, I definitely will

Hello all The model can be downloaded here: Arkia ATR72-500

Thank you all .

Now, the conclusion. The design is very good, seriously. Thanks and kudos to Mario and Edwin, AKA Citycraft and Hermercraft. My repaint fits the real ATR-72-500 4X-AVX that flew for Arkia airlines. Most troublesome parts for me were the engines, the lower main gear cowling and rear part of...

Hello all Well, I finished with the landing gear, installed them into their wells, added the doors, two antennas and that's it, this model building saga is finished.

Thanks!!!

Hello all Now that the forum had moved, I can add an update I began working on the chassis. The parts are really thin and small which means that probably the chassis will not be able to bear the weight of the model. Not a big deal, since I meant to put the model on the provided stand. Parts...

Oh, actually the real engines are very nice-looking. Like all French/Italian things.

Well, actually, Arkia stopped using these ATR-72-500 in 2017. So, it is not a fantasy, it's history But, there is a new airline, called Air Haifa. They are using newer ATR-72-600 exclusively. Which brings me ideas, since I was living in Haifa for some time
