#3 IAR-80

At last... It took me quite some time to learn and apply new (for me...) techniques but I enjoyed it!
Overall a good kit, with good fitting, quality plastic, easy to build.

Many thanks to my good friend, mentor and exceptional modeller, George Tetsios who managed to clean my milky white canopy, moments before i throw it from my balcony...

Cheers mate!

Come on guys, give me some love here...

Augie
Hadn't seen it before, looks good

Neuling
Here I am. Very beautiful build Giannis. And rule No. 1 is: never step on a balcony when modelling!

Giannis Kaltapanidis Szerző
Thank you so much, you kind gentlemen!
Spontaneous manifestations of admiration are much appreciated!
(How on earth can you put a favicon here???)

Rule #1 noted Neuling (LOL). Please proceed to #2 while I'm still mentally healthy...

The only work of the antenna mast should pass through the windshield and the lower exhaust tubes also did not hurt to paint but it is fixable

Alexander Perov
and overall a great job

Giannis Kaltapanidis Szerző
Thank's for the advice Alexander! You are right. There is very little material about this aircraft on the internet so I had little to none photo reference. I had to rely on the instruction sheet which most of the time is inaccurate.

Alexander Perov
my albums have this machine if you're interested there's something to see

Giannis Kaltapanidis Szerző
Absolutely. Thanks again.

Roberto Rocat

Το φτιαξες τζαμι και σε πληθωρικη κλιμακα. Καλη για συλλογη η 1/72 αλλα ψιλικατζιδικη. Στην 1/48 εχεις αλλο αερα

Marcin Terlikowski
Great job Giannis. What specific colors you used for this kit?

Giannis Kaltapanidis Szerző
Thank you Marcin!
I used the colours specified in the instruction sheet (scalemates.com/products/img/3/8/6/1003386-99-instructions.pdf), all from Mr.Hobby range.

very picturesque and beautiful but there are two inaccuracies .mast antenna runs through the entire visor and the rods of the hydraulic cylinders cleaning the landing gear racks should not be painted in the color of the cylinders
