1/72 USAF TF-108 YF-23 Black Widow

[Fishbone]

Since YF-23 never enter the service so it's time for some 'what-if' themed project - digital camo + TF-108 tail code & adorned with a matching variation of the Warwolf Squadron's insignia, displaying the Grim Reaper wearing an oxygen mask. Since it never enter the service so I think there's much room for imagination & development, you can make it into Air Force, Navy, USMC, IDF or even ROCAF!

TF-108 is a fictional squadron from the video game Ace Combat.














































That's all. The result is not really nice, I'm still a beginner in the field and most of my build are the lab rats for me to do some weathering/washing/filtering experiments, this YF-23 is one of them too.

Anyways thanks for dropping by, I hope you like it.

Cheers!

Very nice work indeed, mate! How did you get that finish on the canopy? That looks amazing!

Very nice! I love the camo job on there.   

[Snowtrooper]

The camo looks amazing and would have driven me crazy halfway through the masking. Mad respect for that!

Thanks! Actually I try to make the canopy looks like the gold-tinted canopy on my previous F-22A build but it just failed

Something like this:
