Not seen this on here? I was tempted by the Horsa but never bothered... this however! Linky - http://www.moxingfans.com/new/news/2018/0410/4606.html

Tom, you need to do it in this scheme... and I'm also sure that the photo is taken by a guy called Mike Freer, he and his son Stuart have a superb collection of aircraft photos that they've taken. Might be worth searching their names for more.

It's a nightshot and it just so happens someone is doing an inspection, you can just make out feet at the bottom, but it's not strong as he would of moved while the camera shutter was open.

"Su-27 canopy....."!!

I need a set, want a set....!! I have a MiG-29UB on it's way soon, these would really finish it off....

Such a brilliant build. That canopy is amazing too!

Great work Tom... I have posted some photos on my site from when I was on base with the B-52's back in 2016... they might help. I also have a few more of the tail etc that aren't on the link, but if you need them just ask.. Here - radleighbushell.com/sabre-strike-16/

I actually managed to skip the fact you are converting this to a malcolm hooded Mustang...! You nutter. So I Googled it for more photos and found this.. which you've probably already found, but it's stunning...

Massive clue in the first post...! " I asked Mirek at HpH to run me off one of their bespoke 1/18 subjects "

You just know it'll be as good as that huge Mustang at RAF Cosford in the entrance... for whose that haven't seen, i'll get some photos up soon. Peter, good luck mate... it's going to be stunning!

What he said ^^ On a more important note, why have I only just seen this... I need to get some LEM kits ordered!

Hannants now have them on their future releases, so I think they are coming..... https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/HB83211 https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/HB83212

God no, haha! The most recents this year are the An-8, An-32, IL-22M, La-250, MiG-21/E-7, Tu-134AK, Tu-134UBL, Sukhoi T-10 prototype, Sukhoi T-49 & Sukhoi Su-17M3... I actually worked out how much is in this photo and it's scary, but at least older kits are funding it... I couldn't just go and buy that lot.

You could buy one, build & paint it up... then in a year, re-do the markings and change the nose art... with the photos posted above, you could literally do one a year for many years to come. And it would look fantastic in this scale.

Really toying with the idea of getting one... have always fancied the HK B-17 but never bought one... this just appeals so much more, so many options..

Found the thread Kevin, looks great so far... only gone back two pages as I'm currently away for a week, but once I'm back Friday I shall have a good read through.... I wish I could get a conversion! I love these twin seat Fw-190's!

I would love resin canopies for the Su-27 family! I'd actually buy more than I need too, just incase I ever want to build more. I actually think they would still sell, and I'm not just saying that as I want one either.

Great build so far.... must admit, I do have a soft spot for B-25's.. but in civillian use!

Very, very, very, very excited about this...! As others have said, maybe more in the pipeline too? Can only hope!

Thanks guys for the interest! I've just been out and bought the Revell boxing of the MPM 1/72nd scale Hudson. A nice kit, will be perfect in assisting me with some stuff until I can go back down to Hendon to see the real thing.

Thanks Cees, I've got the Tracker to do next after this... Wish I had the time to do that along side this! Windows now cut out too after going around the inside with a small drill to open them up. The other side is already done, but I did that a different way, this is so much easier!

Thanks chaps, it's great to have it back out. I'm just a bit gutted I ripped out some of the good work, it's all been binned since too... so 10 steps back, and hopefully many forward now. Photos of how it is now, will add more later on of some work I've done tonight, windows cut out, panels/bulkheads cut out etc!

First time I've seen this, a great scale and great subject... Looking forward to see this progress

Well, I'm back again... and for good this time. I need to get this done for next year, so it can go on the LSP/32ndSIG table for Scale Model World 2018... It's a lot of work ahead, but one of my favourite non-Soviet aircraft and i'm shocked I've had this for as long as I have, I thought it was only 2 years!! I stripped out some of the old work *ages* ago and have taken a photo just now of where I'm at. So yeah, a lot of work ahead... but my bench as it is as i'm writing this, scratching my head as to where to start.. wish me luck!

They are indeed blue and yellow... my photo.
