Wow! I feel like a kid again; remembering all those same models I built way back when! Yeah!! :yahoo: :yipee:

Thanks Gents - glad you like them. I'll try and get some more progress shots later!

Mark - glad to hear it brings back memories, nostalgia is one of main the reasons why I still build models - and I do love these oldies. The old (1967) Airfix Mig-21 has been great fun, I've loved scratching up a new cockpit and brush painting a NMF with Humbrol Enamels - superb fun!

I really like that new Zvezda kit though - nice detail and very nice plastic to work with. It's my first kit from this company and I'll certainly be getting some more.

Yes, Zvezda makes some really good products. Their new tool stuff is really enjoyable to build, and quite well detailed.
