I built these earlier this year. As the kit only has decals for one aircraft I had to raid the spares box for number two. :)
First up, OOB with the kit markings.

I decided on a 1970's RAF scheme for the second one.

Hope you like them.

I really like kits that are a whiff right out of the box.
Choosing to make one as a RAF bird was truly inspired!

great job :)
i have built 2 of these myself, its not the best kit out there and the fit is horrible.
i dont really like the size of the cockpit, it seems very small for a fighter, but if the canopy as painted over, it would make a great UCAV :)

Yes, great! And Real, I swear! ;)

Do like RAF scheme :)

Both are good looking models, the RAF one especially.
The Testor's F-19 "stealth" plane came in 1/48 and 1/72 so it was probably reduced to 1/144 for Revell of Germany. The 1/72 version looks unrealistically small to me, especially compared to the F-117. It looked better "Rescaled" to 1/144. Maybe these would work at 1/200?

These kits look to be scaled-down versions of Arii's "tweak" of the Testor's 1/48 kit (I've got both single- and twin-seat versions of that kit from before Testor's successful suit got them removed from the market) and are also boxed by Heller.
