What the Bash himself said ! And dare I say ? That pic looks very Arrowesque, with the twin nose wheels, the radar demarcation line, but mostly I think it's the illusion of the masked up canopy ! Can you just peel off little bits like an Arrow before you take it all off ?

:thumbsup:

Love it, Ian !

I dunno...this looks too real...are you sure it's a "What if?"
It's a big, wide world out there...so if it's all the same to you I'll just stay indoors!

Yes it's looking decidedly good, not sure how far you are along with this but don't forget the false canopy on the underside of the fuselage.  They all get-um you know ---- ;D

Looking good Ian.  Now we're waiting to see it with the canopy unmasked.

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

and yet, the thing I notice is the AMRAAMs instead of the usual Mica/Magics under an M2K.....

You're all very generous, thanks for the comments. Anybody notice what's below the canopy on the port side ?

Ian

Are you referring to the two kill markings?

I can't squint enough to recognize the types. But they look awesome!!!

Rafa

Edit: Were they, by chance hand-drawn? :wacko:

Total bench time to finish:- 11hrs 17mins

Well here it is one of the most trouble free builds I have ever put together....... not much else to say except a sincere thank-you to all the encouragement and positive comments. Here's the first four pics:-

















Enjoy - especially my Canadian comrades  :thumbsup:
