Due to current world events, I might hold off on releasing this one. At least until a few other versions are ready to go too.

Bet you know what this is that will come, probably, after the big bro is completed.

A photo to show the idea of the operating mechanism of the opening nose cone.
Just an idea for you to develop when you build this monster.

No.138 in this series is Bruno's Mig 29, repainted by Brent as the Ghost of Kyiv, originally at 1/100. Don't really want to say much, just go to the pictures.

Now trying to modify Ojimak's Mig-29 from 1/70 to 1/200. Waiting to install undercarriage and others borrowed from Bruno's Mig-29. To be honest, the nose cone is also Bruno's but isn't quite compatible. Anyway, I have given it a try and may consider a re-do of the nose job.

Yeah papermate! I usually make my own Frankensteins as well which I call them Frankentonys.

No.139 is Ojimak's Mig-29 Fulcrum, originally at 1/70, and a flyable plane. It's now converted to a display model, borrowing u/c, nose cone, etc. from Bruno's to do the job. Ojimak used petals to do the nose cone which is too hard to do it right at such a small scale. So I borrowed the nose cone from Bruno's Mig-29. Didn't re-do the nose job as I previously said I would consider. So, here are the pictures.

No.140 is something different, it's helo time! Thanks to Bruno for his Mi-8 and TigerTony's repaint of it in UN livery. I have some enhanced add-on for you to find out. The main rotor blade are rotatable by hand but the tail rotor can spin freely if you blow it. I have also googled for blueprint pictures and found one in particular with cross-section formers that I used in building this helo.

The background colour gives a tone of the desert environment that is fitting for UN missions there. For white background, you can go to my other thread, Bruno's Planes for more pictures with a few close-ups. http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/766159-post1116.html

No.141 Bruno's helo, OH-58A Kiowa that was posted for upload with the other two, namely, 206L LongRanger and AB-206B JetRanger II some time ago. As I have printed some extra copies of these small helo, I thought may be I should finish this one before throwing away all the other extra copies. So, here it is, a quick build today before proceeding with the AN225 1/200 version. Forgot to say that they are repaints by Carlos, if I remember correctly.
