COMRADES!

The time of outward rolling has come! The men and women of ATJAaVBCF No.38bis are proud to present the completed Bort Yellow 56 glorious trainer MiG-24 Mothball!






Many thanks to Comrade piglflyerov for generous make donation of Starfix Jet of Alpha and glorious ZTS Plastyk MiG-19. The decalorations of glorious PM Model Yak-15 were selected for the markings of Red Star and the paints of Tamiya were used for making into metal.

One would assume that this has a fairly high landing speed...and thus all cockpits are equipped with a special Vodka dispenser to allow the trainee pilot to have a "stiff one" (and two for the instructor) before commencing landings... ;D

I'd probably need a bit o'courage before getting in the thing in the first place....

Absolutely first rate comrade Zacski! A trans-siberian transport full of Vodka and an order of the Red Banner to you for such amazing demonstration of socialist superiority over running dog west!

Great idea and implementation Zac.  I hope the Mothball has not been mothballed. It's quite the looker.
Work in progress ::

I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.
