i wanted to use the clear parts from a Rafale, but i broke the windscreen. I made a new one based on a JF-17s windscreen.






the SCALPs were modified to make the canon pod (MAUSER 30mm)




The front ring is from a TA-152

with parts from a Mig-21 fuel tanks

Wow, this is going to be something else!  :o

What's a SCALP, by the way?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

SCALP is the French version/name of the Storm Shadow ASM.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Ahah, thanks. I wondered why that shape looked vaguely familiar.

Hi, thanks for looking

I added some details to the windshield




I also added an air intake in the hood, to give a more aggressive look. it comes from the dorsal spine of a mig-21. Of course the hood is engraved.





wings and nacelles are glued, and engraved.


I tried the Perfect plastic putty from deluxe materials, and it's a realy cool putty






here is the result

Your engraving tool looks handy.
