QuoteComing along nicely Supertom!

I can remember seeing the picture of the original Northrop P-530 Cobra in AW&ST, before the feds got their mitts on it and fattened her up. One of these days I would like to have a go at creating one of those.

Well, the final F-17 proposal looks somewhat similar. I'll shortly have the goods to do by a F-17 and F-18L in 1/48. *G* I definitely intend to keep stuff common where possible.

I believe Hedley's rejoinder was "Shitkicker".

Probably nothing spectacular. My idea was to just make some subtle differences. The real challenge will be the landing gear.

Supertom · March 05, 2006, 03:18:01 PM

My first obstacle - somehow I managed to misplace the piece that makes up the main landing gear well.

Supertom · March 06, 2006, 05:04:23 AM

Found the piece - hooray, production resumes!
