Is it bad that the first thing I thought would be "Su-35s to replace cancelled Typhoons?"

Not at all Tom. A friend of mine's first thought was " will I need Roubles then ?" when I told her that  :blink: ;D She's off to Crete in the summer so at the moment it's anybody's guess what they will be using come August.

So it's been a while since I posted to here, but here's a record: two whiffs finished this year! I will have to make a commitment to finish more next year. Probably get my butt started on that Super Strike Gripen I've always been talking about....

So this is Hasegawa's Ace Combat ASF-X Shinden II, 1/72, out of the box, with a Have Glass-y paint job instead of the boring old gray/gray scheme the kit suggested. I experimented with mixing Citadel grays and metallics to get the finish, along with various weathering and pastels to give it that stained look.



Anyway I'll post more pics when I've taken proper photos instead of in that paint booth.

What a great paint job.  It looks like they started polishing it but got bored and didn't do the edges.
Cool.

Very nice job on that Tom --  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Not knowing what it is I did a google image search about it, but I've got a question.  I haven't watched any of this show so I'm interested to know does the tail plane flap up and down then --- there's pictures of it in all various positions.

Yep, they flap about alright... ;D They move up and down depending on lift area needed to increase control at slower speeds or decrease drag during high speeds. You can see them pretty good here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OA2aeSergg

Well, what with talk on the interwebs that the F-35 is way too expensive and perhaps a buy of new-build F-15s and F-16s is in order to fill in the gaps, perhaps it's time for a Silent Eagle in USAF markings.... dibs!

Always good to see you around Tom. :thumbsup:  I love the Shinden II! :wub: :wub: :wub:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm back again. I've finally cleaned up the basement and I'm no longer working in a pit of despair. Also, I bought the new Italeri Su-34 rebox on a whim because of those Indian Air Force markings. I've got tons of bits left over from an Su-30MKK build, like those Sorbtsiya ECM pods, and I'm gonna scratchbuild some. I think an Indian Platypus would look cool.
