144th is quite new to me as I mostly did 72nd kits, but space is now an issue for me and enough of the vehicles I'm interested in are available in 144th so I made the switch. I'm mostly interested in Soviet Cold War vehicles (ground, sea, and air), particularly in the service of Middle Eastern nations and the GDR. I'm also a big fan of WW2 Italian aircraft, which are unfortunately quite under-represented in 144th.
My current long-term projects are the Pakistan Air Force, the Egyptian/Syrian Air Forces, the LSK (air forces of the GDR), and the Regia Aeronautica & Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana - the Axis-aligned Italian air forces.
I work at an absolutely glacial pace compared to the users of this forum, but I look forward to participating as and when I actually make progress on the many WIP kits I have going. I also of course look forward to learning from you all, as my skills aren't even a tenth as good as what's on display here
.Here's a couple of my most recent builds:
L-29 of Egyptian Air Force (Mark I Models) - first time using a rattle can to paint a kit (hence the buggered up canopy - oops).
MiG-21 SMT (Attack) - this was a camo testbed for a future Finnish MiG-21. I managed to lose one of the main gear assemblies immediately after making it, so in an effort to disguise that I made a little scene of it being propped up on some logs in a field somewhere.
