TOTALLY awe inspiring!  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Another Jalles masterwork.

That canopy is amazingly clear, what method did you use to get it that good?
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! :)

Yeah know, I really didn't do much to it. It's polypropylene, which is pretty clear. I polished the canopy portion of the mold the best I could and then largely kept it covered in tape during construction so it wouldn't get scratched. I also think the light boxes I use for photography give canopies a glossy, clear look.

You really should be teaming up with Joe Cherrie to make models available to us.  Your work is superb!   :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.

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.

Thanks for the kind words guys  :thumbsup: I have to say, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

I'm not sure if there's enough masochistic modelers out there that would actually enjoy building one of my "kits"  :banghead:

Shouldn't it be F-44, after X-44 MANTA? ;)

Without seeing the WIP pics I would refuse to believe this is a scratchbuild. :o
