Good work and excelent model, but You should paint ANX camuflage
Please

I am just doing the simple schemes like the BlackWater or the USAF C-41A (to come soon).
Maybe Tony would do the camouflage for Marina and other Latin American planes. Who knows, maybe the masters of recoloring from Canada, France, Greece, Poland, Philippines or Australia would do a recolor ;-)

I feel that this is almost cheating.
For the C-41A I only added 4 insignias, 2 Serial No and one radome.
The ex BlackWater is gray with grayer ruder a serial number and that's it.
Hope you like them.

ps of course these are not nearly the quality of Master Bruno but are free and conforming to his scale.

Thanks for these wireandpaper. Appreciate you sharing.

Thank you Wireandpaper! There sure are a lot of possible liveries!

wireandpaper diversity is the name of the game... there is something is this hobby for all ages and all skill level. I love "low quality kits" just as much as "high quality" kits. I build way more "low quality kits than "high quality" kits... It's my thing. I do enjoy building a "high quality" kit once in a while but I am not really a "cockpit man" or a "Wheel Well Dweller" if you catch my drift.

P.S. "low quality" = simple kits with no extreme details like cockpits and wheel wells. I am not using this term in a derogatory way at all.

I better call it "easy planes". Before Bruno gave us his designs and models I build nothing but Messerschmitt 109´s, and just think about this: A Me-109 with over 300 pieces!!! even the ailerons and rudder pedals!!! Then I construct 2 or 3 planes a year; now I have a stash of over 200 planes. Tony.

Hay Cafe.. You planning on doing a U, UB or US version of the Mig-21 in the same style as these in Soviet or/and VPAF?

I've already done the U/US/UM though VPAF 8231 red would be a good candidate for a recolor.

I actually started this series with the JJ-7/FT-7, then did the U/US/UM and later the PF/PFS/PFM/FL and now the R/S/M/SM/MF.

I need to revisit the colors and markings of those old twin-seaters. I did 4 east germans, a RAF what-if in red/white/blue, 2 iraqis (FT-7 and MiG-21UM), 2 pakistani FT-7P (short in desert camo and long in grey camo) a few chinese JJ-7, a soviet UM and apparently a nepali what-if in tractor green.

There have been a few recolors by other people: a bangladeshi FT-7 (long) by Shadman al Samee, a trio of polish MiG-21UM in 1:300 by Matis who also did a romanian and 2 czechs plus a pair of slovak examples.
