That's very nice.

Absolutely love that camo scheme. And glad you noticed that the Libyans use Westernized Indo-Arabic numerals instead of traditional ones.

[Taiidantomcat]

Great scheme and I like how the Green contrasts the Green National markings.

Judging by the quality of this very fine example, I'd say Libya got a very good deal!

Hi sletch, that is a cool model of the j-10, i don't see many j-10s on the forum and in the Libyan colours i think it is the first one i see, great work.

Meant to ask: Sletch, what did you think of the kit itself?  I have a few in the stash and was wondering about fit, quality, etc.

just in case, you're interested, the building process can be found here

I won't say what I think about the adjustments, my mom told me: I you have nothing nice to say, than don't say nothing ^^ Regarding what I saw on the web, I would recomend the 1/48 kit instead (working on it right now)

Good evening,

First, I that you very much for your kind comments

Wow... you'd better don't ask 

When you open the box, this kit seems to be very nice and easy to build In fact, the nightmare begins as soon as your discover the amount of work needed to fit any part 

Here are some examples :








Some kits are very pleasant to build  This one was not 

pedrospe says: "i don't see many j-10s on the forum". Now you can understand why
