Nice choice for the base kit.
Whose decals are those? I've been trying to find some for a Sea Venom but no joy.....
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

They are not currently in print, but they come up on eBay occasionally. If you PM me your address you can have the Sea Venom decals from mine as I don't think I'll be building one in the near future.

Started work on the cockpit. Can't find any details as to the flying suit colours of 1950's Egyptian Air Force but as the Mig 15s used during Suez were newly delivered I'm assuming they might have used the same or similar flight suits to the Soviets.

Great start - is that the old tooling?

New tooling. Not a bad fit but apparently some inaccuracies according to other reviews.

No nose weight needed as it's going to be on a stand in flight :)
