Must...resist...buying one....

It's a triumph, Tommy. I love it. The jet is a great looking design (in my opinion) and you've done right by it. The paint is sharp and the details shine through despite the size. I can't find any evidence of your surgeries. Just...

Thanks Lysus! :)

I love the design of this aircraft too. I will definately build one in 1/48 at some point - maybe two so I can build one Argentinian too. And a Cougar of course.... :D

looking at the detail you've got into this Tommy, one could easily be fooled into thinking that its 1/48th. Its only when you include the Tamiya pot that the brain finally realises just how small this is and just how much skill you have :bow:: :bow::
