I fooled around a bit what would be my next build this time. I pulled the Viggen out (had allready drawn decals for that one) then a Harrier, the Trumpy D Tomcat, but then stumbled on this pic: i dont see the BRU rack on the plane, but the digital Flankers carry HARMs: the blue/yellow fin is nice, so i will give it a go

I’ve been a little in the doldrums modelling wise for the last few weeks. My Harrier has stalled and made its way to the Shelf of Doom for a little while, I just can’t seem to get the mojo to get into it properly. This year and it’s madness has seen me forced to sell all my camera equipment to keep up with bills, as I had no wedding bookings for the entire year, leaving me with virtually zero income, and an uncertain future right now. Add into all this that I had a rude awakening with my health recently which means I’ve gotta commit a whole heap of time to exercising to improve that situation, and take some away from the modelling bench. I previously had one of these monsters built and on display at my old photo studio, but it got trashed by an misplaced lump of timber that my father was moving about. I was gonna attempt a salvage but then I saw one up for sale with loads of extras, so thought I’d do a build from the ground up again. So, I’ve pulled down the huge Trumpeter box that I recently acquired from another LSP’er. This is truly, a Flanker with almost everything being thrown at it. Along with the kit, there is the following that I’ve chose to use.... Zactomodels, Nose, intakes, canopy, pylons, and full missile setup. Aires, cockpit, wheel bays, exhausts, and a choice of ejector seat with our without a pilot. Master and Profimodeller, metal static dischargers, dynamic pressure sensors, and pitot tube. 2 choice of wheels, Contact resine, or Armoury. Begemot stencil decal set. Foxbot Ukraine AF digital camouflage masking set, and decals for said aircraft. I couldn’t quite find the room to put the kitchen sink into it as well, even though I may as well be throwing everything else at it. I have stayed away from adding any Eduard PE to it, I just can’t seem to get on with it to produce a satisfactory result. With all this, I’m attempting to build a showstopper, if I get it built how I have it in my mind currently. It’ll be a long and slow burner, the missiles individually are mini models! I’ve predicted my future, it’ll be saw, cut, trim, sand, dry fit, sand, dry fit, repeat until happy. Until then, I’ve got a lot of unboxing, cataloging, and sorting to get through.
