Hint:  There have been some very cool Belgians.   
The goal:  Have it ready to show in Seattle this April.   The secondary is to elicit some fond memories of those old enough to have been fans of very cool Belgians.   ;)

Tease!!!

Indeed! Harumph!

I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with your Draken, Dr. Daryl! I bet a big prop and some nice, streamlined spats would be a wonderful addition, especially if you finish it in a yellow wings scheme!

Khemed 

 :D

Tintin has been a favorite of mine for a very long time.    And why could not SAAB supply Khemed with a few Drakens in exchange for oil?   Sweden has always been somewhat envious of their Norwegian neighbors' oil reserves.


So, a Desert Draken this will be.     It beats the NMF, blue/green, and grey schemes the Draken wore.

As Eduard have announced the MiG-21PF/PFM series in 1/48 I intend to do precisely the MiG you show fairly soon after its release.

That's a tough nut to crack. Both schemes look equally awesome.

Cool plan regarding the Eduard PF/PFM.  :) I just hope they'll scale them down to 1/72 some nice day.

I like the tan on tan without the green, but they are both great  :)
