I'm one of those people who love Testors stealth WHIF kits from the 80's and 90's.  Since those kits were released real stealth aircraft have come into the public domain and while Testors got a lot right, that got far more wrong. A couple of years ago I made an attempt at making the old Testors F-19 more "stealthy". The F-19 is rather small, so I performed some scale-O-rama and turned the 1/48 kit into a 1/72 aircraft.  Once I decided to create a "stealthy" F-19, I needed to come up with a reason for it's being, so... I'm calling this a MiG-41.  A replacement for the venerable MiG-31, able to supercruise vast distances with a heavy air-to-air load.  This particular example is outfitted for SEAD duty.  I posted this on another site a couple of years ago but decided to take some new pictures.

Cleverly modified - there are a few telltale signs which betray its origins (once you know what to look for), but it looks like a completely original creation all the same. Keep up the fantastic work! :thumbsup:

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Awe inspiring work there!  :thumbsup:

That dorsal intake is the BUSINESS!
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! :)
