Kuwaiti Air Force 556 (Revell SA330)

Post by Tim R-T-C »

Finished during Lockdown, but some 13 years in the making. I have a small stash of kits from many years ago when I briefly attempted to get into the hobby but didn't have support of a friendly local club and a SIG.

On pulling this one out I found I had already assembled the cockpit, which must have been in 2007.

Unfortunately the decals were mouldy so I had a look online and found this nice scheme that just required lettering for the serial and a Kuwaiti flag, which I borrowed from the Miniwings Strikemaster.

The main adaptation required was above the cockpit where these machines have a different filter to the European operated machines. I made this using putty, sanded to shape and painted on the grills. Bit of a hack solution, but works from a distance!

Aside from that, a lovely kit and it is a shame Revell don't repress these as I would love a shot at some different schemes.
