Hey folks.
I'll be building the Italeri MiG-37 Ferret in 1/72.
The kit is missing the 2 main gear doors so Il be cutting a pair out of plasticard.
No idea when Il be doing this so it maybe a spur of the moment thing.

Very cool. A WHIF scheme or what is given in the instructions?

Re: Mav's Soviet Stealth
This one will be in the all over black Stealth livery as I'd like it to go with my F-117 and a future F-19.
If I find another one day Il be building that as a Solver and Green Soviet bird.

Re: Mav's Soviet Stealth
I had a dig through the stash tonight and I've found and bought the MiG-37 to the top of the pile so she's ready for a blitzing!

Re: Mav's Soviet Stealth
Bad news folks!
I got the kit out to take an overview shot and found one of the tailfins is missing!
I know I had it when I bought the kit but it was loose so it must have fallen out during the move and I'm gutted!
Unless I can find a replacement this is going to be a none starter and the kit will go back into the cupboard in till I have enough shill required to make a new one!

I have been looking around and I've found a spare set of wings in the F-8 Crusader I bought at SMW16.
I may have a play with them and see what happens.

Re: Mav's Soviet Stealth with NATO influence.
Ok heres an overview:
As stated before the wings are going to be experimental.
I'm thinking of using the kits wings as the tails and using the F-8 wings as the MiG-37's wings.
I kinda figured that this bird was experimental in the real world anyway so it could be edited without it looking too unusual.

Re: Mav's Soviet Stealth with NATO influence.
Il be building this one in the workbench section as I won't have a 24 hour slot within the rules to finish her within the alloted gb dates.
