Four F version tandems and six single seat E versions were delivered in '84, followed by another four Es in '85 and finally in '89 the last, third batch of Es arrived. Unlike the original fleet the last four arrived without those big UHF antennas and tail fin fillets. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #282828; line-height: 22.4px;">This an AFV kit with Hasegawa weapon set and Carapena decals. Most of it is build out of box, with many self-made corrections like extending the tail fin, adding antennas and RWR units. Decals were wrong and awful since the roundel on the wing should be double in size plus they disintegrated by the touch of water...</span></span><br />

<br />
This model represents one of the most interesting jet bombers of all time, the stealthy F-117.<br />
It depicts an example shot down during the 1999 NATO bombing of Serbia (then SR Yugoslavia). It's code name was Vega-31. Everything is known more or less about the incident, I won't get into it, you can read more about it on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_F-117A_shootdown" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_F-117A_shootdown</a><br />

It is a 1:48 Tamiya kit + CMK bomb bay and a resin seat by Quikboost. Although the kit is basically constructed of two fuselage halves, the construction wasn't that easy, as the resin bomb bay was tricky to handle. I didn't want a dirty look for it so it is made quite clean. I really don't know much about the AC type and it's armament, so the authenticity is questionable. Well hope you like it anyway...<br />

<br />
After a few years of dodging it and putting it aside as half done, this project is finally realized.<br />
The start of this dates before the release of the excellent GWH 9-13 Fulcrum, so this is a chapter for history.<br />
<br />
The serial of the AC is unknown, it belonged to the 14th Guardian Fighter Regiment of the Russian AF based on Khalino airfield. It carried a standard 9-13 camouflague. On both parts of the front fuselage dark green spots were painted. Guardian badge and Kusrsk city emblem are placed atop them..On some photos I found it appears to have missing the front landing gear mud guard...<br />

<br />
This is the Academy plastic, the best Fulcrum for many years until the release of the GWH.<br />
I've used many aftermarket for this one: Neomega spine, wingtips, cockpit and seat, Aires wheel wells and exhausts, quicboost nose and pitot and the excellent Fru Fru R-27R. The 4x R-60 are from the Eduard's MiG-21 kit.<br />

Hi everyone</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Off course it's a MiG-21 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Codename L-14 - the PFM variant in SFR Yugoslav markings. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is painted in experimental camouflage of green, grey and light blue as some other aircraft in service back then. It wasn't long until the plane was returned to overall natural metal finish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the 70's the aircraft was a part of 117th fighter regiment located at the infamous underground AF airbase Željava in Bihać. </div>

No need to get into the build details as this kit already became a routine. It's a good kit of one of my favorite aircraft, that's why I can never get enough of it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I might have missed the cockpit color as the PFMs still had cockpits painted in grey but after some overhaul they received the new turquoise color. Actually the Eduard kit gives you no choice but to paint it in turquoise, either with pre-painted PE or printed decals. If you decide not to choose between those two, you end up with no sidewall details and a lot of work on the instrument panel...well, it a nice excuse at least.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This PFM is loaded with two R-3S missiles on the under wing pylons.</div>

<br />
Back after some time, once again with something shiny, the beautiful Czechoslovakian made Aero L-29 Delfin in Syrian livery.<br />
This was a special build, dedicated to a friend and a fellow blogger R.S @ <a href="http://luftwaffeas.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Luftwaffe A.S</a>. He will eventually present all the details regarding the type and use with SyAAF along with the photos of operational aircraft...<br />
For the build progress please check this post @ <a href="http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234979941-l-29-syaaf-amk-148/" target="_blank">Britmodeller</a><br />
<br />
It is an AMK kit with Eduard PE interior and the decals are leftovers and scrapped from other kits.<br />

Thunderjets that were delivered to Yugoslavia were a part of a Mutual Assistance Program between Yugolslavia and American/British allies ambassador G.Allen aiding the state of Yugoslavia with modern military equipment in events after the Tito Stalin fallout/Infrombiro. <br />
<br />
The first batch of F-84G Thunderjets to be received by Yugoslavia flew in on June 9th 1953. By the end of the month 31 jets landed, 11 F-84G's came in December.<br />
Yugoslav pilots used T-33 trainers which also came in the same year, to be retrained and schooled for flying modern airplanes powered by jet engines.<br />
By the end of 1953 and the beginning of The Trieste Crisis, The Yu Air Force already had 54 T-jets.<br />
The deliveries ended in 1957 with 167 warplanes delivered by the MAP.<br />
More than 60 planes were bought for spare parts by Greece which was replacing them with Thunderstreaks.<br />

The presented kit is a Tamiya F-84G in Yugoslav markings in mid 50's. It is an ex USAF bird in arctic red scheme, which made it more visible above the skies of snowy white Alaska. On one of the photos one red-tailed T-jet in YU service appears to be quite weathered and chipped: It is the #10516<br />

Back from the dead. Had some minor setbacks. No biggie, I'm back full metal jacket style. I guess I waited for Halloween for my resurrection.<br />
<br />
Besides some freshly photoed MiG-21s, I'll present a Soviet naval VTOL aircraft.<br />
<br />
VTOL are also known as jump jets for their vertical take offs and landings. This one is also known as a first operational carrier based aircraft. It was developed specifically for and served almost exclusively on the Kiev-class aircraft carriers.<br />
<br />
It is called Yak-38. The presented model is a U model as trainer version of this fighter attack VTOL aircraft. It is also known for its odd, ugly like extended nose, very opposite compared to the sleek one seater.<br />
The Yak-38U entered service on 15th of November 1978. Total of 38 Yak-38U were delivered to the Soviet Naval Aviation.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-URqbGLNS5is/VFYhDa9d__I/AAAAAAAAYQU/u_-mw7BHW-k/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-URqbGLNS5is/VFYhDa9d__I/AAAAAAAAYQU/u_-mw7BHW-k/s1600/2.jpg" height="440" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The model is a HobbyBoss kit with the addition of Aires back lift up tubes. The kit has some shape problems. The U versions back was also extended just as the nose. Well HB didn't catch that up. Canopy should also be more bubbled up. The details are also something this kit lack, so I decided to go with the closed canopies and hatches, as I didn't have any resin aftermarket. Nevertheless I scratch-built some wiring and details in the interior. The fit of the plastic parts is so so and there is some cutting needed to present the wings folded. On the plus side is the nice, smoothly engraved and riveted surface of the plastic. You do the judging.<br />

<br />
The Turkish Air Force received more than 200 C, D and F versions of the Super Sabre most from the US but also from the Royal Danish Air Force.<br />
The aircraft was considered a crown jewel in the TuAF so only most experienced pilots from the fighter/interceptor squadrons with more than 800 flying hours were chosen to fly with the Super Sabre. Those who achieved that were regarded "Aces" of the TuAF.<br />

Super Sabres saw action during the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tylliria" target="_blank">Battle of Tylliria</a>/Battle of Kokkina on the morning of August the 8th in 1964. In low flight the TuAF F-100Ds attacked Cypriot patrol boats in the Xeros harbour, Morphou Bay.<br />
More info on: <a href="http://www.acig.info/CMS/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=108&Itemid=47" target="_blank">Cyprus, 1955-73, by Tom Cooper</a><br />
The F-100s were also used extensively in the 1974 Cyprus invasion, armed with BLU-27 napalm canisters and 750 pound bombs. Together with the F-104 Starfighters they flew CAS missions to support advancing Turkish troops.<br />
<br />
I chose the Trumpeter kit OOB with the XtraDecal foreign F-100 operators. The M117 bomb is from the Hasegawa weapon set A. The kit is nice to build, it has some shape-wise issues like the intake, wheels, weapons and such. I widened the wheels, made the back flaps movable and did some scratch-build on the the canopy hinges as it's meant to be closed. Please comment what you think.<br />

To continue with the 109s over the Far North, this time's subject is a Bf109E-7; Yellow 7, flown by Oblt. Horst Carganico, Staffelkapitan of 1./JG 77 in Petsamo, 25th of September 1941.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His E-7 carried a camouflage with the fuselage divided into three horizontal segments of colors. It had unpainted and highly polished spinner and its tail was marked with 6 RAF and 21 Soviet kills. Carganico's emblem had a terrier inside a diamond shaped background. Note that he preferred an early style canopy (from E-1) and even his Fs were retrofitted with it.</div>

OK it's about time I did a true Iraqi fighter, so when I decided to go with the 23 I knew straight away I'll make it in Iraqi livery. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although it wasn't popular nor very effective, the MS version of the MiG-23 fighter looks very typical with its short radom and is known for its use in Arab countries.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Iraq received 20 MS version of total more than 100 ordered. The delivery was cut back due to the disappointment of the aircraft in service. The downgraded radar and avionics made it no better than MiG-21. It was limited to only R-13 missiles, so it couldn't operate BVR. The MS were soon replaced with the MF version. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Iraqi MS examples were used in the fisrt half of the Iran-Iraq war. 8 were lost with the 1:1 kill ratio. A few were shot down by Iranian Tomcats and MIM-23BN Hawk SAMs. They shot down 6 F-4D/F-4Es, one F-5E and one AH-1 all in 1980. </div>

We waited ages for the new MiG-23 tool. It finally came last year by Trumpeter. So far it is available in M or the MF version. To make it an MS there has to be some work done. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First and most obvious is the nose cone - IRST had to be deleted and some antennas added/removed and moved up to the front. I scribed some new lines to shorten the radom. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The second thing was the rudder hinges. The MS didn't have dual dampers on the hinge as the later versions so I had to fill them with plastic and putty. The canopy in the M boxing is not split in the middle so I had to modify it to make it look like it does. The cockpit is aftermarket resin by Aires - difficult to work with but looks excellent when finished.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to go with R-13S missiles on underwing hardpoints, old R-3S on the belly and an underbelly fuel tank.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The decals are the wonderful Lindenhill Iraqi fighters in 1:48. There are many MiG-23 options, 3 just for the MS and great illustrations by Tom Cooper.</div>

<br />
The subject for this still fresh of new year build is an exotic African MiG operated by Nigeria fot the most part of the 80's.<br />
Nigeria received its MiGs in 1975, 25 MFs and 6 UMs. They were in use in two squadrons until sometime in 90's when they were put into storage due to lack of spare parts and low finances. Because of this bad econmic situation in the early 90's they were of little use in any of the local conflicts NAF was involved in...<br />

This model was built under the group biild project on ARC forum named "Out of Africa". Since I've already done a couple of Eduard MiGs I decided something had to be open to add up some detailing. Check for work in progress on this link: <a href="http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=268803" target="_blank">ARC "Out of Africa" group build</a><br />

It's typical stylish Italian design reminds me of all the famous Italian sports cars.<br />
It was designed by Mario Costoldi and received letter C in its model designation, but was often referred to as C.202 or MC.202. It was developed from an earlier C.200 Saetta with an Daimler-Benz DB 601 engine and a redesigned fuselage. It was considered to be one of the best Italian WWI fighters to serve Regia Aeronautica and operated on all fronts Italy was involved in.<br />
It came into service with Regia Aeronautica in July 1941 and immediately proved to be very effective and deadly. But C.202 had its defects - like C.200 it could enter into a deadly spin and lacked of any serious armament. Also it had a poor radio and oxygen system.<br />
The Macchi C.202 saw extensive service in Malta, North Africa, Eastern front and Italy. Germany used some captured specimens and Croatia also received a batch of Folgori but it was "too little too late".<br />

The kit presents a C.202 from the 70^sqd 23°gruppo 3°stromo located in St. Cerveteri near Rome.<br />

<br />
The kit is a fine Hasegawa which lacks some details so I used an Eduard PE set. I decided to go with an open hood to show the DB601 engine (from the BF109E Eduard's model which I have in stash). The model was completely riveted and painted with Gunze colors. I used Skymodel decals which are great with one exception - the fasci insignia is too large but in any case better than those awful Hasegawa decals.<br />

The unit received P-40 Warhawks in Australia, and after training for a short time, provided air defenses for the Northern Territory. It moved to New Guinea in October of 1942 to help stall the Japanese drive southwards from Buna to Port Moresby. <span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">Engaged primarily in air defense of Port Moresby; also escorted bombers and transports, and attacked enemy installations, supply lines, and troop concentrations in support of Allied ground forces.</span></span></div>

From the early sixties ('62) in the previous century, codenamed L-16 (L stands for <i>"lovac" - "fighter"-hunter literally</i>). By the time they were introduced to Yu AF, they were still receiving US made aircraft, such as an all weather interceptor F-86D.<br />
In constant swinging between the two blocks (east and west) Yugoslavia managed to achieve many Western hi-tech assets and at the same time obtain at the time "unknown" new MiGs as the first state outside the Soviet Union. That is the reason those planes were top secret material for many years to come.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qf3OC3KMHQM/UgvbcMIzxkI/AAAAAAAANHs/hhGXAPn-arQ/s1600/52022_67378555_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qf3OC3KMHQM/UgvbcMIzxkI/AAAAAAAANHs/hhGXAPn-arQ/s640/52022_67378555_1.jpg" height="422" width="640" /></a></div>

The pilots had to quickly adapt from the Sabres and Thunderjets to MiG-21's which was a much faster and aerodynamic aircraft with far less cockpit visibility. The early generation of pilots were used to flying in TV-2, T-33, F-84G and F-86E's, so the new MiG was more than a challenge to adapt to. It was easier to switch from Sabre D than E, because of the afterburners used by Sabredogs - 100% thrust on E or 45% thrust on D - same power used for take offs on MiGs. There were also many problems in gear-flight suits and helmets, the early models were very difficult to wear and use.<br />
The two seaters (NL-12) were received years later. It took them quite some time to cope with such machines so the F-86E's from 204 fighter regiment stayed in Batajnica AB until 1965 - a bizarre period where one unit was flying MiGs and Sabres at the same time.<br />
The 204. fighter regiment had three squadrons : 126th, 127th and 128th. Later part of the regiment split to 117th reg. and was re based to Bihač (today BiH) - Željava underground base <i>aka </i>object 505 or Klek. It was one of the largest underground AB's and the biggest construction made in Yugoslavia. It was build under the mount Plješevica and could survive a nuclear attack. It had a net of five underground tunnels leading to an exit covered by large steel door.<br />

The AB was occupied by the time of the Czechoslovakian crisis, so it became home of the pilots and their crews and for a longer period.

The L-12 were used for a relatively short period, it could be used as an interceptor only in good weather conditions so it was soon starting to get replaced by MiG-21PFM codenamed L-14 in 1967.</div>

To quote a pilot who remembers his photo fresh of academy in front of a F-86D; <i>It is a very sad memory for me. Half of the men from the photo were killed in MiGs. After Sabredogs we all switched to L-12 and defended the airspace west of 18th meridian. A few of the pilots, mostly Croats and Slovenes who sat in those underground tunnels were chasing Italian F-104 Starfighters over Slovenia. Half of those guys died doing that. That's why it is very difficult for me to accept that today Slovenian airspace is being watched by Italian AF.</i></div>

Altogether more than 200 Il-2 and U-Il-2s were delivered in 1945/47.<br />
Many regiments were equiped with Ils - 421st, 422nd and 423rd. During the WWII only the ones from 421st regiment wore Yu markings and were used in one op in Bosnia in 1945. First school regiment for Yu pilots was formed in Grozny USSR in 1945. The regiments were replaced lots of times from one airfield to another in all Yu republics.<br />

In peace time most Ils came from Bulgaria - which had to cut its Air Force size in result of Paris peace agreement on 10th of February 1947. Shturmoviks came along with Pe-3 and Bf109Gs. <br />
Some were used in 3rd school regiment in Kovin airfield.<br />
In 1946 during the tensions on border with Italy 422nd and 423rd regiment was moved to Cerklje airbase in southern Slovenia. Those units were on high alert because of the constant airspace violations on western Yugoslav borders.<br />
After 1948 most Shturmoviks had their wooden fuselages replaced with metal ones .<br />

Il-2 of 96th regiment in fall of '53 during the Trieste crisis. Although at the end-use and technologically outdated they were in first line of defense. Personnel of 96th and 138th regiment has enabled most of the planes, and even a number of written-off shturmoviks. Many planes were scribed with slogans of that times. The slogan on this plane was <i>"Ne damo Trst i svoj narod" - "We don't give in Trieste and our people"</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
The model presented carries slogan TITO PARTIJA during <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informbiro_period">informbiro period</a> in a well known dispuite between Soviet leader Stalin and Yugoslav leader Tito.<br />

The kit is the new Tamiya in 1/48, which is an excellent one in all segments. I added the BIGED photoetched that includel interior and exterior details and the landing flaps. The slogans were done by paintbrush, the roundels on the fuselage were airbrushed and the ones on lower side of the wings were customly printed. The flag was on the tail is from the Balkan Models decals - YU roundels & flags. For more on the build you can check on <a href="http://makete.si/viewtopic.php?t=6815">makete.si Il-2 build</a></div>

This Tamiya kit is quite nice, correct shape-n-size unlike some other kits. On the downside all the sprues are silver metal plated (limited silver plated edition), which makes it almost impossible to paint, so a lot had to be sanded off. </div>
<div>
I added CMK gun bays and Eduard's photo etched interior to spice it up a little and I also used phenomenal Balkan Models Yu Spitfires decal set.</div>

This time a Focke Wulf 190, long nose Dora variant, fliyng in this amazing Galland Circus scheme.<br />
By the end of 1944 a dispute between Adolf Galland and Herman Goring led to a birth of a new unit, completely under Galland control. He was given a jet fighter Me 262 to demonstrate that it was a better fighter/interceptor used against bombers than a fighter-bomber.<br />
JV 44 was formed in 1945 in Brandenburg-Briest but later in April moved to south to the airport at Munich-Riem.<br />
Due to its speed the Me 262 could outfly any allied plane but due to an inability of sudden throttle action moves it was very vulnerable at takeoffs and landings. making it an easy prey for Allies in such moments.<br />
The protection of jet fighters fell on high-performance piston engined fighters, the Fw190D.<br />
To be more recognizable to German flack as friendlies, their bottoms were painted in red with white stripes.<br />
<br />
The red 13 was flown by Oblt. Klaus Faber. He shot down one, maybe two P-47 Thunderbolts. It carried a slogan on the port side. It means "he must go in, even if we both cry".<br />

The aircraft was probably of 3rd or 4th series.<br />
White 64 had quite a few distinctive characteristics. Among those are sharp prop spinner, fixed tail wheel, removed wheel doors and sliding canopy, tubular exhaust pipes, straight rudder, two 7,62mm ShKAS machine guns, one ShVAK 20mm gun thru the prop and one 12,7 UB machine gun on the left side of the engine cowling.<br />

It's in an Ukrainian ICM kit of LaGG-3 1-4 series, actually quite nice, pretty well detailed intrerior and such. On the other hand the plastic is very soft and the clear parts are very fragile, so caution while dealing with those.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everything is OOB, I got really hyped by the camo, specially about trying out this worn paint-weathering technique, so that was the priority and not the detailing and such so there are positively some inaccuracies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Worn effects-acrylic fluid by AK Interactive, and it was real fun doing it - similar to hairspray-salt technique or sanding the upper paint in this case the white.</div>

<br />
This Tiger II was credited with at least 3 victories during the Iran-Iraq War. It was also the favorite mount of Col. Javadpour, who downed 2 IrAF Su-20s when flying this jet. For most of the war, IRIAF Tigers were relegated to air to ground missions, but in June 1986, Col. Javadpour managed to intercept and damage an Iraqi MiG-25PDS returning from a mission deep within Iranian airspace.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">A quote from an article on the <a href="http://www.iiaf.net/">http://www.iiaf.net</a> called <b>Samurai in the skies:</b></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><i style="background-color: black;">Major Yadollah Javadpour is one of the most accomplished F-5 pilots in the world, and flew in the Acrojet team founded by General Jahanbani. The F-5 is a light, low cost fighter, and Major Javadpour shot down 5 Iraqi fighters, making him one of the prominent jet fighter aces in history. One of his victims was the Mig-25, the world’s fastest fighter, and at the time the Russians’ most advanced fighter, flown by Colonel Rayyan, Iraq’s top fighter pilot. The downing of a fighter like the Mig-25 by an F-5 is unprecedented in the history of air combat, and Major Javadpour has become a legend in the worldwide F-5 pilot community.</i></span><br />

<span class="postbody">This is actually a de-tropicalized F-4, meaning that the initial RLM79/RLM78 was over-painted with patches of RLM 70 and RLM 75 and</span> the sand filter was removed, therefore making it more suitable for European theater. Remnants of the whitetail band aft were still visible, meaning this plane used to operate in North Africa. 18 white victory bars are visible on the rudder...<br />

Quite
unusual scheme on this Bf110 operating in St.Trond, Belgium. The
aircraft is an elderly Bf110D-3 G9+FM from 4./NJG 1 which has been
retrofitted with FuG 202 radar.As the first four FuG 202 radars were delivered to operational units entered service with II./NJG 1 in February 1942. It is very possible this AC was one of them. The AC was also retrofitted with DB 601N engines identified by the large white "N" on the engine cowling. This marking was needed because the DB 601N engines required higher octane fuel. Note the six victory bars on the rudder. </div>

This is a wonderful Cyber Hobby/ex Dragon kit, which contains an impressive amount of parts. Because of that and the fact it is highly detailed without aftermarket I decided to do it "out of box" including the decals for this night-fighter version.</div>

They were used against armed forces of UK and Commonwealth of Nations which were invading the kingdom and trying to oust the new government.<br />
<br />
During World War II they were used against the British in North Africa. <br />
Most were either out of service or shot down by February 1941.<br />

This is a 1: 48 Special Hobby kit which is very nicely detailed, spiced up with quite a lot of resin add-ons and photo etched parts. A part from that the plastic itself is very crude with some flash. The decals are printed very well and they sit perfect. Anyway it was a very pleasant build. <br />
