Here are two projects that I’m working on in addition to the two Russian Kirov’s, now that my Half Tracks are done. This first one shows my 1/72 scale Skyray masked and ready to shoot with grey.
I also started a French version of the British Vampire in 1/72 scale as well. Here it is with the main assemblies ready to put together.
Comments are welcome. [:D]
Nice to see the Skyray moving along the production line. It’s a very cute little aircraft. I built the Airfix one ages ago and bought the Tamiya (1/72) not that long ago but haven’t done anything on it yet.
The Mistral is another good looking aircraft. Looking forward to seeing it completed! Are you doing it in French markings?
Good stuff so far. I can’t wait to see the finished skyray. I love the look of this aircraft 
i have the skyray unbuilt as well but the vampire is very cool. which kit is that?
That Skyray is one of the more affordable Tamiya kits I’ve thought about picking one up… maybe I should. Yours looks really good so far, can’t wait to see them both done.
So far so good. Keep us posted.
both kits look good so far.

I really enjoyed the Tamiya Skyray and highly recommend it…
Thanks dj! Yes, the Tamiya Skyray is a very fun kit to build. I’ve got it shot with grey now, so I’ll be posting more pics of that soon. I was building this for our March IPMS meeting theme which was ‘Anything form Tamiya’. Since it wasn’t finished, I tried to find another Tamiya kit that I’d built in the past to bring instead. I realized that out of all the 900 models I have built, the Tamiya Skyray is the first Tamiya kit I’ve ever built! I was amazed!
Yeah, I’m going to apply the French markings to the Mistral. That should look cool next to my other French aircraft!
The Vampire Mistral is the old Heller kit. It has raised panel lines and basic cockpit, but it goes together quite well! I have the thing assembled now and I’m gonna shoot it with some Tamiya Gloss Aluminum that I got as a raffle Prize form my IPMS meeting. I’ll post pics when that is done.
projects looking good.
