Another addition to my Congo Crisis collection, a Heller 1/72 kit with MAV decals

Wonderful work. It's still a great little kit and I still have one stocked for this setting after doing another in a more generic style. That natural meral finish with the dayglo accents is just great.

Just a shame that the kit doesn't include pilot figures. I substituted some Revell NATO pilots in mine.

I need to print pilot and co pilot. I have glued the canopy down with PVA so it easily lifts with warm water

Very nice.  Does its opponent have anything with which to shoot it down?

A flipped over jeep perhaps?  ;)

I've always liked the magister, ever since I read a comic book in which it featured (Tangy et Laverdure IIRC), and I loved the non-standard tail section.

Great work on that kit!  8)
