I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.

Hmmm! I was going to say I need a decal set of that, but then, how hard would it be to make a lightning bolt like that and colour it grey ---  ;D

I think it would be near to impossible to get a realistic paint job on one of these no matter what the scale. Just the sunlight hitting the three aircraft at slightly different angles makes the same part appear a different color. Plus all those jagged lines around all the different openings would drive me off the deep end. Great pics, thanks for posting it.

Nice photos again Carl  :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

I've been playing with the idea of putting some F-15 drop tanks on the F-22 kit I have. That photo gives me a good idea what to do, although it is something along those lines that I was thinking of.

That’s an agricultural sprayer with really thin, tall wheels for driving between rows of plants. I don’t know how spraying streets will affect the spread of the virus other than to meet the demand “to do something”.

It's an odd looking vehicle! I guess spraying clorox flavored water on the asphalt - where viruses will be exposed to heat and UV - is meant to show that the Chinese Government is Taking Things Seriously.
