Title: People's Republic of Yorkshire Airforce
Post by: MSea on July 25, 2022, 03:22:20 PM
On Playday 9 I took the 2 Mig 21 models that nobody wanted - could see the worried looks from some of you aircraft modelers - but don't worry.
One of them never got passed the boot of the car - when unloading was talking to one of my neighbour's and passed one of the models on for his son. Now the other one should get you worried, decided to make it into a plane from the "Peoples Republic of Yorkshire" air force, after we have broken away from the rest of England - will not go into politics and say what I think about "B.B the B" or the rest of them, in case I get deleted by Big Kevin - so its just historical, that's all and set in the late 1960 early 1970. Now should it be all silver or camouflage to fit in with the moors colouring - ideas please - yohoho

Waiting for the Korean Turtle Ship to dry and go solid before cleaning it up, decided to fasten some of the bits together for this one and then prime them.

I'm some what surprised that even in its darkest hour the Republic would turn the Soviets for weapons.

Underside is now brush painted with pale blue, the top side will be green sky and patches of brown violet.
Just look at the title Francis "Peoples Republic of Yorkshire" expect it will be left leaning. so would not get any help from right wing states, hence the Mig21

This should give you a laugh Zak - I thought it was very smooth and clean on the underside of the plane - -- it has had most of  the locating holes filled in and smoothed off.  :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
