That looks cool 8) Very nice work and I love the gloss red paintscheme! Now you've got to make several more and hang them in a formation.

Cool paint job.

Very nice custom! How did you get such a nice glossy finish? Is it the type of paint, or is there a varnish/clear coat on top of the paint? 8)

Nice job! Is it based on a real Russian display team, or just a "translation" like Krazny Strela (excuse my pidgin Russian :oops: ) - the only stuff I can find on Mig 15/17-mounted red-painted Russian display teams says the top was red but the undersides were always light blue with the aircraft serial in white or black with a white border.

Now, if only someone would release the Su-27 Flanker-C, the Su-25 Frogfoot and the Mil-24 (Mil 35) Hind so we could have the Russian Knights, Celestial Hussars and the Golden Eagles... :D :D

Of course, what I'm really waiting for is the (British) Army Air Corps' Blue Eagles team to be allowed to use an Apache in their displays :shock: 8) 8)

I used regular krylon red spray paint, and coated it with clear acrylic.
I found this picture of an early soviet aerobatic team, and used it for
a referance. You may be right about the under carriage bieng another color,but I just went with all red.

Thanks for the comments......

I'm such a jacka$$, I didnt read your original post, I thought you were the guy off of ebay. Still great work, I know how much courage it takes to do a repaint.

No I am not the one...I wish.. .......The one on ebay, is the same one that I seen last week...Thats where I got the idea to make one for myself.
If you look at his, his stars are smaller, and the guns are painted red.
I wish I could make some of the things that he has made...especially that fw-190. I might try to do the f-104 NASA chase plane. That guy is a MASTER!!!!

That is absolutely professional quality! The gloss surfacing is flawless. By the way, I take it the Stars and the Hammer and Sickle were painted/masked off as well? - I'm spraying the letters/insignia my helicopter and reserving decals for last resort (Rescue/Caution Placards) Anywho...I do believe you have the rank of 'Master'

To reply to mig-29......No I did not paint the sicle or stars....Ipulled up soviet logos and using microsoft picture it publishing 10...I made waterslide decals to size then applied the clear coat, which I think
blended it all together to look like they were painted.
