Beautiful, for some reason it just looks so much more "photogenic" then an F.22 ??

Started building my T-50 tonight, and the parts go together very well, even if some are more fiddly that need be. I am hoping it all goes together as well  as it has so far, as I have not needed any putty as yet. I think I will do this one wheels down and slick, but with the pilot in it and on the display stand. Should take up less room on the cabinet then

That would be because the F-22 is FUGLY. The T-50 reminds me quite a bit of the YF-23 from some angles.

I hate you on so many levels 

I have yet to see it in one of my LHS's.  I might need to buy it online (next year, thus immediately breaking my New Year's Resolution).

Not if you order it this year for delivery next year

Thanks for the curse Anthony 
I thought I was doing well until it came to putting the engine pods in, doing this pushed all the air intakes out of place leaving some nasty gaps. The putty had to be broken out  Thankfully it should be an easy sand down too so not to worry.....he says
Still rattling a camo scheme around the saw dust for it though, so I will have to have a good think about that one.
Cheers,
Chris.

It would have to be either one or two as I hate using red paint on a large surface area

Until this time we didn't have a worthy model of the legendary Yak-3 in 1/72 scale! The Hasegawa one is out of production (and has some bugs, and is basic enough), the HobbyBoss one is very basic, the Heller/Smer one is totally incorrect, and AModel produces the VK-107 version which is substantially different aircraft.

Maybe now we'll definitely get a good kit?

Definately hope so Redstar. It's an extremely important aircraft historically

A review of the new Zvezda Mi-24 is up on Modeling Madness.

Very nice by the looks including two crewmembers along with a choice of V or VP (ie: rotary 12.7mm or twin 23mm nose guns) along with some other gear.

Looks very nice indeed.
