Off to a good start.

It’s funny - I like the 2 seat Flankers but don’t really care for the look of the single seaters.
All hail the God of Frustration!!!

Other way around for me. Looking good Rod ... especially the 'office'.

Work in progress ...
I ruined, for a regrettable accident, some decals and I'm waiting the new foil.
I have to improve some details (the formation laps for example and some lights)











Another point of view ...

My thought process looking at this:

1. Bloody hell thats incredible detail for a 1/72!
2. Oh no hang on it’s a 1/48.
3. Phew.
4.  ???
5. Nah that’s still incredible what am I on about
Never trust a man who tells you that you have too many paints, for he is obviously a liar and will most likely try to deceive you again in future.

That's some first-class work on those burner cans. I don't think I've ever seen them done better.

Last pictures look suspiciously like a shrink gun was used to zap from 1/1 to 1/48 for photo op.  :smiley:
