Well, I've got plenty if you're interested (benefits of living less than an hours drive from RAF Conningsby ;) )

(Igore the wonky wheel, thats now been fixed  :banghead: And the nosegear - lost count of the number of times that snapped, stupid Revell tooling wearing out....  :banghead:)



And thats me done for this GB.  4th finished model of the year, and quite pleased with how it turned out, although as always there are bits on there I know could be better.  All comments and criticisms encouraged.

Been looking forward to this one Nev, she looks great! :thumbsup:  I don't know much about JASDF weapons, what's the loadout?

Gorgeous stuff! :wub:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Inboard are ASM-2s, which is an indiginous Anti-Ship missile, a development of their ASM-1 with a turbojet (as opposed to solid fuel) engine and IR terminal homing.  Outboard are AAM-3s which are an indiginous short-range IR guided AAM in the Sidewinder class.

ps. If you don't mind me asking which Tamiya blues did you use?
Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.

I used X-14 for the base (with just a drop of XF-18 to make it a little less Baby Blue) and a 50:50 mix of XF-18 and XF-8 for the darker blue.
