Here's my first work after an eight year break to watch my daughter grow up. 'Cause I was born in former Yugoslavia, it was very important to build something that reminds me of my childhood.

So I found on eBay this two Yugoslav-made airplanes by SOKO Factory near Mostar in BiH.

The quality of the kits was in the case of Yumo G4 good, but the resin kit of G2 was really bad, so it took me a lot of work and scratch-building to get what I hope is a nice model.

The cockpit ladders and the tow bars of both planes are scratch-built, the bombs on the G4  and the pilots are from "Armory" and HVAR rockets on the G2 are from "CMK". I also used Humbrol enamel paints for airbrushing and Akan interior green for G4 cockpit.  The display is a Christmas deco-star, so you can think how long it took me to finish the project. 

I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks

"Suomiuna"
