2023 IPMS Nationals ModelGeeks Podcast Group Build (MiG Killers)

Ойын-сауық

Follow along as I build my entry for the 2023 ModelGeeks Podcast IPMS (MiG Killer) Group Build.
In this series I will be building the Hasegawa 1/48 Scale F/A-18C as VFA-81 Sunliners 410 that was piloted by Lt Nick Mongillo on January 17th 1991. Lieutenant Mongillo one of a flight of 4 that was dispatched off of. the USS Saratoga in the Red Sea, It was the first daylight strike of the Gulf war. The targets were airfields in western Iraq, codenamed H-2 and H-3. fired a single Sparrow which took out the second MiG-21.
Lieutenant Mongillo fired a single Sparrow which took out one of the two Iraqi MiG-21's. This is believe dot be the first time in history that an aircraft scored a kill while carrying four 2,000-lb bombs, then continued on to hit its target.

    I definitely would like to see a video with Quinta and/or red fox 3D decal installation. Also, any chance of you doing a video on model photography? Camera settings, lighting set up, general how-to’s?
