English Electric Canberra PR.9 Royal Air Force Airfix 1/48

I made an Airfix Canberra. Marking is the Canberra PR.9, No.39 Squadron, Royal Air Force Marham, UK, July 2006. Although the marking is the aircraft of 2006, I suppose it's almost the same marking as the Gulf War or the Iraq war.

Mig-21MF Fishbed J Soviet Air Force Academy 1/48

This is Academy's MiG-21MF. This time I chose light brown and dark brown camouflage. I think it is camouflage paint that is often seen in desert areas in the south such as Afghanistan and the Middle East. The weapon of this MiG-21 is one large drop tank in the middle and equipped with Atoll missiles K-13 and K- 13A on both sides.

Suchoj S-37 (Su-47) Berkut Russian Air Force Fighter Revell 1/144

It's Revell Suchoj S-37. The basic color of the aircraft is 80% matte black and 20% blue. Hmm, is this the unique blackish color of the airplane? When I actually paint it, I can't really distinguish the color. If you look closely, it looks bluish.

Supermarine Spitfire Mk. XII Royal Air Force Fighter Airfix 1/48

This is an Airfix Spitfire. I am glad that plastic model manufacturers in that country are offering kits of famous aircraft that they can be proud of to the world. The Mk. XII Spitfire was deployed only in the 41st Squadron, Royal Air Force Tangmere, Sussex, and the 91st Squadron, RAF Hawkinge, Kent, England. About 100 fighters from other types were modified. The Airfix kit decal can also be chosen from these two squadrons.

It's an Eduardo Polykarpov I -16 fighter kit. Comes with a cockpit panel and seat belt parts for detailed details. The Marking is the Generalmajor Ivan A. Lakeev, Hero of the Soviet Union, 1941. The Eduard instruction comments "This aircraft was based with 46th IAP at Vasilkov airfield. Note that this was a VIP aircraft, very carefully maintained, kept clean and polished, in perfect condition. It will be a disappointment to heavy weathering lovers, so be careful with pre-shading and other weathering tricks."
