I just noticed that the slope of the engine mounts matches/continues the slope of the vertical fins! Pretty!!!

Thanks for all you comments and here's some more pictures, I think it needs dirtying up a bit.

Oh yeah....these pics do the model justice.  You nailed it, from the believable rubber look of the tires to some very fine masking of the canopy.  Imagine these flying in formation over your skies (shudder)!   :bow:

Yowsa that's some stellar work on that canopy framing! I like the fact you used Hungarian markings too! It's a treat to see a whiff like this in something other than the standard Luft markings.

Excellent and truly inspired work, Aircav!

Beautiful model.  Well done.  And hand painted canopy frames.  That is impressive.

I don't know why, but I think it would look cool with the low viz style of marking as worn by their latest Gripens:



Certainly make black and white photos easier.
