Nice one, Rat. I always wondered where Aurora came up with their "Mig 19" model.

Actually the Aurora one is quite different. Their 'MiG-19' tail blends smoothly into the fuselage giving the appearance of a (slightly) airworthy banana, whereas the Lindberg one which mine is based on has a more believeable arrangement. Go to this link and you'll see the author mistakes the lineage as well, but gives some good information as to where Lindberg might have got their ideas for the design.

Nice! and the fact that you used a natural metal finish is amazing!!!

The thing is, it looks just like a real Soviet project in their crazy, clunky kind of way

Sorry I missed this one ! Love it. The goofy Jetsons canopy really sets her off

Great job Ratty ! The finish is impeccable.
