The F-23 in her new interceptor role





And the newly designed Strike 23, the baddest kid on the block!







1/144 and fun as heck!

I saw the entire Armada Serie, and those two are those one I prefer!!! :wub:

The F-23 always was, with Mirage 4000, my favourit plane...
And the Strike F/A-23 is wonderful! I specially like the weapons pylons system...
Very good job!!

Thanks a lot, the Strike 23 is probably tied for favorite with the Falchion for me (Just because of the amount of work that went into both of them).  I'm really happy with how well that Sukhoi cockpit blended into the body.

And thanks as well on the pylons, they were an attempt to replicate something similar to the Strike Eagle's pylons, but with a twist.

On a side note, I really can't recommend the Trumpeter F-23 highly enough.  It was a blissfully easy build, one of those; drop glue in the box, shake, out pops a finished model, type of things.  And seriously, you are shooting yourself in the foot not to buy one as Squadron Shop has them for $1.92 US each.  No, that is not a typo.

Interesting concepts, and you did an outstanding job blending the two kits to make the Strike 23
Man, we should have cloned twenties. Jackson wouldn't have given a poo-poo.

Who, pray, makes the Sukhoi fighter?  I'm very, very tempted to do some of those 1/144 ones, too.

Trumpeter has a Su-34, Revell has a Su-27.

Love the strike-23! It actually looks pretty symmetrical now.... which end is the front?

Awesome F-23's!!  The Strike-23 looks very good.  This gives me an idea.  The "stinger" looks good on the plane, and I like the bogie landing gear off the Su-34.

Can't wait to see them finished!!
