That may have been an error of haste...  

[John Howling Mouse]

Man, that is a real eyecatcher.  Belongs at a model show, that one.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hobbes]

   

That is one sweet build! Cool idea too, even if the poor F-27 will be groaning under that heavy load...

[B777LR]

I like it very much. You have made it look like as if it was an non-whiff, which makes it very good.

[Gary]

Dude, you got ta enter that thing in a contest somewhere! She rocks!

[Gary F]

Neat project, AD!  Looks really nice.
 Are the engine nacelles kit standard?

Couple of more pictures this evening.

The triple missile pylon with two Hellfires and a single Sidewinder.  Made from a Hobbycrap Jaguar pylon, a twin bomb rack from an F-18, and the pylon+Sidewinder rail from a Hawk.


The underside showing the structural stringers and various ECM/EW antennae


The right side of the fuselage showing the bulge for increased room inside for servicing the weapons.  May also contain classified EW equipment.


The forward Bushmaster and GAU-12, as well as the SLAR antenna and maybe an LLTV camera..?


The rear fuselage showing the aerodynamis strakes added to increase stability.  These are the fins from a towed target from the Hasegawa Weapons Set.


The rear Bushmaster and 40mm Bofors gun.  The yellow stencilling around the door signifies a jettisonable door for crew egress.

Yep, they're straight from the box, with a lot of sanding (really poor fit where the intake attaches).

[Captain Canada]

Wow, Nick....that is simply awesome ! What a cool looking bird....................very well done. If I'm ever at your place I'm definately gonna have to pull that baby off the stand and conduct a few search and destroy missions around your yard !


Way cool......


Uh, Gary, can I have that Fokker back ?

 

[lancer]

Fantastic AD, it's a gorgeous looking masterpiece

[John Howling Mouse]

You mean it gets better?!?!  

I even think the way you lit up your background from below is classy.

As I keep saying, someday, when I grow up, I'M gonna build models like yours!

[Ollie]

Whoa Nick, that's one sweeeeeeeeeeet build you made there!

Very, very nice!

I've been trying to think of what to say that hasn't already been said, but can't think of anything sufficiently adulatory.

Excellent, brilliant, stunning, etc etc etc...
