That's a very sharp looking MQ-47B and looks most plausible.

That looks soooo right in Japanese colours!  :-*

The single seater does exist... at least on the drawing board as a proposal for the KF-X program :P

Interesting.  :smiley: Didn't know about that one.

Much bigger than I thought they were. :icon_surprised:


Really nice job & the scheme is much nicer than grey-on-grey-on-grey-on-grey-........ :smiley:

Great color scheme. I thought it was 1/48 - that's a good sized plane in 1/72!

Thanks guys. Glad to see you like it  :D

For the size, I was also surprised when I open the box. For comparaison, on the real A/C, MLG are from F-14 and NLG are a modified NLG from the Super Hornet.

Hi guys,

I didn't plan to start a new model before moving to my new apartment but following some new event here in France about the Covid-19 sanitary crisis, I have plenty of time to use (confinement at home for at least 15 days, but will be probably more...) so I unpacked my model workshop and pick a box in the stash...

I started in the afternoon an old Mirage IIIC from Heller. It will be a real world project this time: French Air Force, based in Djibouti with a pair of Magic I and maybe supersonic tank.
No major upgrade planned, only some details in the cockpit with parts from a Kinetic Mirage IIIE. Otherwise, it will be straight from the box.

Here the progress of the afternoon:















See you soon for the progress  :smiley:

Hi guys,

Looks like I forgot to post here my latest build... Sorry about that  :-[

So I finished a few weeks ago an MQ-47B of the JASDF in the 2 tones blue scheme:




Hi,

Nice MQ-47B Kai, brilliant !

Thanks Greg  :D


I have finished the paint of the airframe and various small part. I also had time to put on the decals. Unfortunately, the stencils will be missing as I don't decals for them...



To be continued tomorrow  :smiley:

Thanks guys  :D

I found the next project. It will be between reality and what-if:



F-15E of Garuda 1 (player's character of the video game Ace Combat 6). I made some customs decals for this last year and it will be based on the Revell F-15E in 1/48th.

See you soon for the start  :smiley: (box already on the bench)

The way Garuda carries those Mavericks is... unorthodox, to say the least. ;D

Love the Mirage!  :-* :-* :-*

I read Garuda F-15 and instantly think of an Indonesian TNI-AU F-15E maybe in similar scheme to their F-16s:
