Title: 1/72 aircraft
Post by: Camthalion on March 08, 2016, 07:29:49 PM

No Whiffs except for some decal changes, but some of my 1/72 aircraft built over a few years.  Aircraft seem to have become my main interest over the last week.

Hurricane IID.  Built around 15years ago as a wargaming model.  Has been cleaned up a bit and been given lowered wheels.

Brazilian P-47D, just forgot to do the green and yellow rudder.

My favourite is the Yak-15, not common and well done.

That's pushing the memory.  Hurricane is the Matchbox kit.  P-47 is Academy with aftermarket decals.  Sioux is Italeri with red cross decal from somewhere and scratchbuilt stretchers.  Polikarpov I-1 is ICM.  Camel is Academy.  Yak is Pioneer 2 with decals from spares box, the kit ones fell apart.  Both SPADs are Academy with aftermarket decals.  Skyraiders from the Hasegawa 2 kits in one box series.  THe C-47 is the Italeri Spooky with aftermarket decals.

Do like your mix of 1/72 builds. :)
Much as I'm a fan of era of blue painted navy aircraft; can't pick a favorite between the Skyraiders.
Yak-15 carries green well.  Did Russians paint them that color?

I was supposed to stick to Russian, but several others of interest made it in.  The Yak is a bit brighter than it should be and looks even brighter in the photo.

Browsing web pictures I see Yak-15 common in green.  Yak-23 is not common in green.  Appears USSR was transitioning away from green as they moved into jet age.
RW or not, camo looks right on Hurricane.
