After a long pause I decided I should start building warplanes as before.
In my stock :) I noticed I had 2 of this kit
so started building it end September 2012 finished by the beginning of
November. The kit has many faults therefore you need to obtain a lot of aftermarket goodies if you want something close to
the original. Thanks to Czech Companies they almost have every detail manufactured for this kit.
Since I wanted to build an a/c out of the regular, I decided to build one of our respective neighbours : Islamic Republic of Iran. The camouflage colors are different and hard to match but I guess I'm satisfied with the result.
Even the original aircraft do not match with each other :)

It is essential that you need to shorten the length of the main landing gear by 2 mms which gives the kit more accurate look. Pavel Vodnik has a wonderful site for this kit which helped me a lot. Here's the link :

The main grey-green color is H67 Gunze. Camo is a mixture of Visions+Gunze+Tamiya acrylics.
Regards all and take care,
