Here's one I just finished for a GB over on BTS.

Here's what I started with, the Hasagawa 1/72 F-20.


After basic assembly, I cut off part of the wings and added a new trapezoidal wing. Filled in the underside flush with the original wing. This gave me a good solid base for the new wing and I didn't have to mess with the wheel wells or landing gear. I did remember to put plenty of weight in the nose.



All blended in and PSR completed and a coat of MR Surfacer primer.



Finished F-20K in Philippine AF markings.










We don't just embrace insanity here.  We feel it up, french kiss it and then buy it a drink.

That's looking good, reminds me a little of some FB-22 designs?

Just what I was thinking too, a superb job there Ed.  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Oooooh, that has come out well  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
