Cutting Edge makes a nice set of Thunderbirds decals - though I have no idea what it would take to backdate a D-model to a B... The nose section of the B was quite different. Long ago, CE made a conversion. http://www.ipmsusa.org/reviews/features/F-105_Thunderbird_32_Conversion/F-105_Thunderbird_32_Conversion.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, all time classic surely? The Mustang of the 50’s. Guy Here's some inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gisbod Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 I think the new Kitty Hawk Tiger F-5E has a natural metal option too (unless it’s painted silver?). Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Ivanovich Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Said finish was actually painted - aluminised polyurethane topcoat. Applied in a similarly elaborate manner on a model, one might be tempted to approve "Wowsers! Stunning NMF!". Looks rather convincing, doesn't it?

Sabre F-86 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I'd go with the F-104. I did the Hasegawa 1/72 kit for a client years ago and still think it was one of the best I'd ever done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite being a dedicated Luftluver, my Starfighter holds pride of place and is the only model in a prominent display position. I want to do a Thud and a MiG-15 and maybe an MiG-25 if my wallet and the creators of good plastic kits meet in the space/time continuum. Oh...besides being a Luftweenie, I'm also deep into Star Trek. But I refuse to learn Klingon. For the best NMF projects one must look to the USAAF/USAF and USSR. Heh...amazingly third place goes to the IJA. Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gisbod Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Stop press... Stumbled across an all metal finish of the Kitty Hawk T-28 Trojan... looks a super kit? Anyone have any experience of it? also there’s their Vought Kingfisher too.. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just finishing off a 1/72 Eduard Mig 21... fabulous kit. I’d love a large one! Is the Trumpy Mig 21 good? I know they vary so much... Thanks for the replies, Guy Both the MiG-21-F13 and the MiG-21PF are excellent kits. They are fine OOB, but It's fun to get a replacement seat/instruments to jazz them up a bit. But it doesn't need much else and there are a lot of NMF schemes out there. Cheers, Tim W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
