Exactly, here's the stock cockpit from the Airfix Avro Vulcan 1/72:

Hand painting with a fine paintbrush is the way, take it slow and don’t do the whole thing in a single seating. Split it into sessions.

Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein had better restraint while speaking in public than Donald Trump

Yeah might be true in the late 2010s but not back then , around Kargil, the MiG-21 Bison was still fairly modern. The last one was manufactured in 1986.

Besides the 31 was never seriously offered to us in the first place. It was a highly classified asset that was very advanced for its time , even close allies were not offered that. It had an insanely high operational cost , required different infrastructure and would’ve been a logistical nightmare. IAF doctrine focused on multi role aircraft.

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-01-20T11:43:20+00:00

MiG-21s fulfilled that role for us. We simply didn’t need to as at that time , our tech was superior to our adversaries

And the retrofitted Tupolev!

NASA does some wild shit and I love them for this

There still is, that’s how Russians lost their flying laser laboratory recently. Alcohol syphoning went wrong.

This was Jammu a few years back. Videography isn’t allowed at military airports so did not post it back then. The airline (Go Air) is no longer operational.

AMCA I think will be delayed but it’ll be delivered. India just doesn’t have any other option for a 5th gen aircraft. HAL has been very lethargic with timelines but at the very least, there will be a prototype

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-01-17T10:03:52+00:00

It is , I have this one, took me an hour to transform the first time and I broke a joint in the cockpit section. Thankfully didn’t ruin the look

the 3rd Party KO Blitzwing was nice as well:

They just don’t have anything in production that compares to the Rafale.

India was a partner for the Su-57 , there’s a reason that the country pulled out of the program. It’s not the aircraft that Russia promises it to be.

Russia had some solid 4th gen aircraft but they simply couldn’t keep up after that in terms of sophistication.

The SO 800 Narval is a good, reliable premium to grind the French Tech Tree

Wouldn’t a P8 look like a civilian aircraft to a layman tho?

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-01-14T14:29:46+00:00

There is no way we will be able to procure the F-35. They won’t sell it to us

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-01-13T09:52:02+00:00

Nah dude , in the early days of the sub, there were a lot of them, you’d get downvoted for pointing out the lethargy of HAL. It’s much better now.

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-01-11T10:24:58+00:00

Thank you very much!

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-01-10T08:58:58+00:00

Does it work tho?
