The Soko J-22 Orao is my favourite
AC of all time. It is locally produced in the SFRJ (Socialistic Federative Republic
Of Yugolsavia) as a close air support aircraft. This means that you can't find a
plastic kit for this rare aircraft. The only solution is the Aeropoxy Resin J-22
Orao from Serbia. However almost at the same time with this kit on the market
appeared another resin kit from Croatia that I also have in my stash.

One of the first steps I had to do was to
scratchbuild the cockpit because this kit had a very spartan cockpit. I only
added a resin MB MK.10 seat and the windshield and canopy ware scratchbuilt in
order to make the opened cockpit. This kit is not for rookies and I only recommend
it for experienced modellers.
The whole kit was painted using
Humbrol and MM enamels. The decals used are from the spares box. I hope you like
my Orao.
