[FREE] 1/100 Fairey Gannet Papermodel

A post-WWII aircraft developed for Royal Navy as Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and strike aircraft and found itself developed into Airborne Early Warning (AEW) role, with three crew and two turboprop engine, this aircraft distinct feature is its contra-rotating propeller.

This was an earlier model made in February for commercial sale but my harddisk malfunctioned and this is the one of three (originally it has Indonesian, German, and Royal Navy version) that remains in my gmail storage, because of its older design (there's no instruction, it doesn't even have glue tab for the model) i've made it available for free.

[FREE] 1/144 Tupolev Tu-2 "Bat" Papermodel

Designed as high speed bomber or divebomber, with high performance in speed and bombload, this aircraft played key role in Soviet Air Force during World War II

In Indonesian Air Force, this aircraft career is sketchy at best, what we know is is this aircraft served for less than a year before returned to Soviet Union due to engine problem (turns out using an aircraft designed in cold European climate on Tropical country isn't really a great idea) or donated to other Eastern Bloc countries, overshadowed by other Soviet aircraft design such as Tu-16 "Badger" and Il-28 "Beagle".

About the model: this pattern, like the previous MiG-21 are also a part of submission for Peri Kertas design competition.

Preview: it's the test-build model, some of the modeling mistakes are already rectified (i hope).

[FREE] 1/144 MiG-21 F "Fishbed-C" Papermodel

A supersonic jet interceptor aircraft designed by Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau, low maintenance and manufacture cost, she became favorite aircraft for Eastern Bloc countries and Soviet Union's client states, some even found their way into the 21st century with upgraded avionics and weapons.

22 aircraft of this type serve Indonesian Air Force (Angkatan Udara Republik Indonesia-AURI) in preparation of Operation Trikora until the takeover by US-backed government, 13 Indonesian MiG-21s were delivered to the US while the rest are retired due to lack of spare parts and maintenance support.

About the model: this model is one of the submissions for Peri Kertas' papercraft design competition, because i ran out of place to put this model for display, that's why it's small (about 10 centimeters) but i add a little design on it (like cockpit, engine, airbrake, etc).

[FREE] 1/100 Mitsubishi B4N1 Papermodel

A single-engine carrier bomber aircraft completed in 1936 and designed by Takao Yoshida, this aircraft was Mitsubishi's response to Imperial Japanese Navy requirement to replace Mitsubishi B2M (type 89) bomber, this bomber ends up being a failure due to the lack of suitable engine and stability problems.

An obscure aircraft on the middle of already obscure Japan interwar aircraft design, this model is particulary hard to design because there's literally 1 (one) real life image of this aircraft as reference which i put as the cover for this post.

[FREE] Mitsubishi 1MT Triplane Papermodel

Mitsubishi 1MT was a Japanese single-seat triplane torpedo bomber built for Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service for aircraft carrier Hōshō. Designed by Herbert Smith, 1MT1N first flew in August 1922 and entered service as Navy Type 10 Torpedo Bomber or Carrier Attacker. 20 aircraft were built, but the aircraft was difficult to fly and unable to operate from an aircraft carrier when carrying a torpedo. The type was soon withdrawn and scrapped.

Another Japanese aircraft model from Argwenza Kainaka, he didn't specify the scale but by comparing the wingspan of the real thing versus the model, maybe it's close to 1/79 or 1/80 scale.Well suited for interwar military aircraft enthusiast, especially for the Japanese one, it's a relatively easy model to build and the instruction panel is already inside the model file.
