Steyr St-150 Bolzen (NATO name "Flintlock")
« on: January 06, 2012, 05:05:05 AM »
Here's a current going 1/72 project of mine: The Steyr St-150 Bolzen, the East Austrian built variation on the MiG-15. Sufficiently different from it's baseline Soviet progenitor to earn it a unique NATO codename "Flintlock" to set it apart.







It's the Hobby Boss MiG-15 bis with a few added bumps and antennas and revised cannon arrangement and scrounged decals to represent a Bolzen in the mid-late 1970s, the very twilight of their service lives.

I put the decals on while the painting was incomplete as I want the finished model to havea very tatty look befitting a tired station hack aircraft, so the decals will have to be treated the same as the rest.

East Austria (the true 'Democratic' Republic od Austria) may be proud of this airplane. Congratulations, modeller! Glory to the Red ones! Shame on the West (till they join us)! :D
