Hot Pink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My girls were having a go at me about my hobby and how I needed to make some pink planes. So the hunt was on to find examples of pink planes in real life. The only two I found were these...


Indian Air Force Red Archer

This image also in the book "Flying Colors" (a must for all model builders) of a pink Mig 21 is all I could find on this plane from the '70s

P-40 Kalamazoo Air museum

Suzanne D. parish, one of the the nation's best known pioneering women aviators, whose flying service dates back to World War II and her service with the W.A.S.P. Parish is renowned for more than a decade of flying her signature pink P-40 Warhawk in Libyan Desert colour at national air shows.


 

Arii P-40 1/48

My first experience with an Arii kit and it went together beautifully. Out of the box except for scratchbuilt seatbealts and a sharkmouth from a Monogram kit.


 

Academy Mig 21 1/48

I love Academy kits in my opinion they and Fujimi are the best on the market. I've not noticed any great difference in quality between these and the expensive Japenese kits. This was no exception and a joy to build.


 

 

 

Academy Mig 21 1/48

 


The quality of this kit can be seen by the fact it took a tumble two days before the Christmas deadline and bits went flying off everywhere. It went straight back together with no visible marks, mainly because I can't remember having to putty and sand any area of the kit.
