Instead of Fouga's V-tail I'm using the wings because their size suits better.

I finally got Vallejo Air 71.114 medium grey for the top side. It is the color that Italeri instructions told. I'm not sure if it is right one or too dark.

Wow...I am speechless 😄. Will you paint it exactly like in the cartoon?

Thanks Marius 😄 yes I will paint it almost like in the cartoon, so the origins of the parts would be visible.

👍🏻Cool idea and nice result so far S M!

Imagine a Hornet with this tail pulling 7 G's😝…

Thanks, mates! 😄 the 7G-pulling tail has just got the decals. The main plane is few steps behind.

Welcome aboard, mates! This haven't progressed much lately, because I encountered two problems. I'm not getting decals to set on Fouga's wing panel lines. Maybe I missed the timing or my Micro Sol is too old and weak. Or are Special Hobby's decals somehow difficult to handle? Also the grey Vallejo's paint that came with the Italeri kit is too old and bad. It clogs my airbrush even when I'm using a lot of thinner and flow improver. I guess I need to get to local hobby shop for a new paint and decal softeners.

Take your time, don't rush this 'F/A 170 Fishbed' project😜

Tip: for really difficult decals, you could try 'Daco decal setting strong version' ( pienoismallimarketti..&product_id=9558 )
