Decided to add more of a Russian look to it, and give it a new paint job too. (luckily i have a great one in mind but i'm not giving any of my comrades any hints :wacko:)


Paint stripped

cockpit, (sorry its a dark picture)

1/32 F-16 drop tanks that will be modified to the wing mounted engines for a more Yakovlev look...Yes it will have four engines total  :drink:


Front of engines so far

Thanks for looking, fire away. :thumbsup:

So we're calling this the Yak-45 Firebug then?

Should be interesting!

Cool! I was going to do a Sovietised F-18A/C for this GB, but I have too many projects on the go already. I was going to give it huge boxy intakes like the Mig-25, bigger engine nozzles, and hang a load of missiles on it. I'll get to it eventually...

Looking forward to seeing this one done. :)
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

Still cooking on this, working on the Engine Fairings.

Notches cut into the wing...also that green tape gives me an idea for a new style cockpit on a future build  :wacko:


Top View engines mounted


Bottom View. Lots of Work left to blend the fairings with the wings and the engine pods as well, but I am happy right now  :cheers:

Wow! :o Now all you need to do is give it some of those early AAMs-the-size-of-little-aircraft.  :thumbsup:
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?
