Hi Folks
As it says in the title, the latest Natmet aircraft to be kicked off the Obscurity lines all in 72nd scale, as below
Art Model MiG Ye-8, basically a MiG-21 with better radar and a bigger engine up it, it gained a folding ventral fin and canards along the way.... With the nose intake now occupied by the bigger radar unit, the intake was moved underneath, the result ended up looking ala F-107 Thunderceptor...
Revell MiG-21 F, a nice early variant of the 21 species, lovely little kit.
AModel Yak - 25M “Mandrake M”, the second version of the “Mandrake” to see service, this time as a twin seat, radar equipped, all-weather fighter. Nice enough kit, slight dramas associated with construction (nothing unexpected, given its a short run kit).
... and finally, just to prove I do build jets from other countries than Russia... 😆
Italeri B-58 Hustler, a very nice, easily assembled kit which ended up sprayed all shiny and waiting for about 5 weeks for me to get around to applying its decals ! Just didn’t feel like it for some reason ! 🤔
That’s yer lot for this time folks ! Back sooner or later with some more, this time I’m leaving the Natmet shades in their bottles, about time I did some non-silver aircraft methinks ! 🧐
Regards to All OB 😉 Still plane crazy ! 😆😎

Magnificent work on all! I really love the Hustler; someday I'll get one of my own built.

Thanks Folks 👍
Duke - Dunno about masterpieces, they’re just airbrushed overall with Tamiya Chrome Silver Acrylic, then cop either Citadel Leadbelcher or Ironbreaker via a brushload or three on certain panels/areas as per pix of the real deal - simples !
I only brush the Citadels because I’ve never found anything that’ll thin them properly for airbrushing - even Citadel’s own spray thinners ! 😖
Regards OB 😉

Good to know about the Citadels. I might have to try and pick a few up and see if I can replicate a multi-hued metal finish. Thanks OB!
