One model per (non-working) day

talking about the F-15 let's talk about its Russian counterpart
here is a small contribution to the landing gears of the sukhoi "flanker" series (Su-27, Su-30, Su-33) in 1/300 and 1/200 scale

I may in no position to say this but since you started to make Israeli Eagles, is it okay to you that you also add the F-15D “baz 957”, the one that lands with one wing??? Thanks

It was more a "let's finish that ancient WIP" mood than "let's start a series of Israeli eagles". I'll need to gather documentation on these grey israeli Eagles first.

Bruno has Baz 957 as #1890 in his 1:100 series.

Tony, I like that you're doing the engines for the older B-52s. Are you also going to do the underwing fuel tanks?

Thanks for the Sukhoi LG, Juan Angel!

Okay I see Cafe, just keep on what you're doing right now

Don't worry. It's not a no. And compared to a few hours ago I now have more pics of 957 and other grey Baz.

Hello here again

I'm just sharing the snippet of current WIP on my recolored "Desert Storm" B-52G (rudder part). Just disregard the stencils and serial numbers on each side of the rudders since I used my recent recolored "Linebacker II" B-52G as the base template for this hehehehe

*I've finally get the serial numbers for it, but I haven't decided yet between the "Triangle K" or the "Statue of Liberty" markings should I placed on each side of its rudder tho

Yeaps, I understood that
Can't wait to see the templates of the Israeli Eagles, especially the one winged/other Baz

The main issue with 957 is how did it look when the incident happen? I have pics of it at the museum and from when it was still operational in the 2010s. I'll go with the later look (minus the satcom dome behind the canopy). I doubt the big flying eagle was already present on the fins in 1983.

I also realised there was a specific adapter for the Python 3 missiles that attach to the wing pylon. The Python 4 seems to use the regular one (or a similary shaped one).

edit: bigger screencap of the F-15I + the current israeli grey base devoid of any individual or unit marking.

I’m not so sure on this photo from warhistory online about the baz 957 Eagle, it’s very grainy to identify the markings on its stabilizer, but my guess is that it likely bears the outline drawing of the eagle just like what baz F-15s currently painted, but lacks the red triangles on the inside

*I may guess too that you may have already looked on this photo unknowingly to me hehehehe

Hello modellers, B-52 G "SAC Time" with the "Statue of Liberty" in the fin is among my Must-to-do List, So whether you do it or not, it's on the list. I'm working in a complete revision of the entire kit model. The most important issue is that of the front part and nose of the fuselage. It has a "Turtle Head" shape form. At 1:300 scale is more or less plausible, but when upscaling, the airplane looks strange. I feel that the panel lines are a bit heavy, I'm doing some work on them as well, something like Cafe do with his CH-46 Seahorse and the Mig 21 panel lines. Rear turret is also a place of oportunity for improving. Not to mention the recolors. All of this I'll show you in the thread This plane has my same age (and still in service)
Best Regards, Tony.

The line width Bruno used for the B-52 is 0.176 mm. You could switch to his other standard width, 0.088 mm like on the F-15.
