My attempt at an FA-25. Based on a JSF proposal from MDC and built out of a Panda F-35 kit.
Concept Art




What I have gotten done so far





You can see in the last pics where I will cut an extension for the fuselage from a spare fuselage Jeff Fontaine sent me. You can also see a preliminary idea of how I will do the Lamda wing

Hmmm?
This looks interesting Ron, I will be watching this one for sure
Chris.

Watching intently as I also plan to do one...using the same starting kit too.

[McColm]

Are the dimensions similar to the F-22 kit?

[pyro-manic]

Ohh, very nice. I do like this design.

[GTX]

Any preference on final scheme?

Don't know what Ron's is but mine's RAN grey-over-white ..... or go completely radical & design your own!

(Sea-blue, sea-green & sand over sky blue with low-vis or medium-vis RAN markings [either VC724 or VF805 in memoriam]? )

Thanks all y'all McC I can only compare this Panda kit to the Academy F-22 kit . The 35 is much smaller.
I haven't really thought about a final paint job yet but it will not be grey Probably the same pattern as is on the gray planes nowdays but done in blues and greens. I might change my mind though and go with a jungley marines type camo. Maybe I will finally attempt a digi camo

As always, I'm amazed at your ability to hack and splice styrene to your will.
Very bold. Very impressive.

Thanks bubba This one is such a nice break from the total scratchbuilds I have been doing lately. So relaxing

Stabs, wingy type things, intakes, and gun

[KiwiZac]

Great stuff! This is looking excellent so far, already it looks so much like the concept art.

I can't even suggest a colour scheme, as all those posted within GTX's history would be wonderfully suited.

Nice one Ron - I always did like this bird....

You move fast, bucko! Coming along nicely!
