Nice, well done. The training bombs are a nice contrast, too.

That is really, really good!

Pretty much ticks all the boxes for a great whif!

Very good.

I really do like that finish

Beautiful paint job. Great build all around!

Thanks for all the kind words. As I said was a really fun project. If you check out the backstory I did leave as an exercise to the reader the reconnaissance (the CR-107 Sabereye) version if anyone is looking for a project.

Indeed you did, and that's got me thinking.

The camera fit HAS to be in the nose as the rest of the airframe is filled with engine or fuel, and there's a number of suitable 'photo noses' that could probably be adapted.............

I usually don't like too much weathering, but l think you got it spot on here. That's a nice F-107.

It could be in the nose, though you might have to change the profile a bit, it actually has a pretty skinny nose. I was thinking more RF-8 like by replacing the guns. The fuselage cross-section is pretty square in that area. Either way can't wait to see it

PR19_Kit · Reply #41 - Re: The CF-107 Sabertooth:

Yes, an 'RF-8 alike' setup might work better.

It's such a sharply tapering nose that the usual 'RF' type nose couldn't help but make it look pretty darn ugly!
