Mig by way of Lim; 1/48 Lim5p of the East German Airforce

Hi all! Also hot off the bench is this 1/48 Lim-5p based on the hobbyboss mig-17pfu. The model is converted using Coldwar Studios nose correction. I also added resin wheels and brass turned air data probes from Master. I upgraded the cockpit using an Aires mig-17pf cockpit set. The kit includes a well detailed vk1 engine , but it disappears once the tail is attached. In order to allow a limited view of the engine, I opened some panels above and below the airplane midsection. Decals are from my scrap box and paint is from Tamiya and Vallejo . This was a fun little build and helped get my modelling mojo up for the fall. As usual, questions and comments are welcome.

Desert Pirate; 1/48 Hasegawa A-7e Corsair ll

Hi all! Freshly from the workbench is the A-7e based on the classic Hasegawa kit. I updated the kit with a variety of upgrades including reskit seated pilot, exhaust nozzle and wheels, Aires wheel bays and Eduard missiles and bombs. Decals are from Procal. I kitbashed the nose gear from the hobbyboss kit and also added some scratch build piping and cables on the gear .

I've built the model to represent Decoy 401 from the USS John F Kennedy, participating in Operation Desert Storm in 91'. Paint is from AK, Tamiya and Vallejo, and weathering with artist oils.

I think it came out pretty well and is a very nice compliment to the rest of my collection. Thanks for looking. Comments and questions are welcome.
