Nice start to this one. I've been hoping this build would come up as I was curious about the Trumpeter kit.

Hi Nathan - if you want to build it, be prepared for some fitting problems.
There are issues with fuselage halves, I had problems with wings as well. Last piece of fuselage covering engine exhaust had to be corrected for about 0,4mm on one side otherwise it won't fit.
And some smaller issues like canopy, radar cone etc
Apart from above it's quite ok - I'm not sure for the dimensions and overall shape compared to original as I do not pay much attention here.

Holger Kranich
And Przemek strikes again! I am a big fan of the Thud!

Przemek Przybulewski
Hi Scott. Thank you. As for the missiles, yes, you're right, first one is AGM-45 Shrike, second is AGM-78 Standard ARM.
Holger - damn, looks like you are expecting something spectacular from me - I hope I won't dissapoint you much 😉

Big is beautiful 👍

Nice one! But the panel shading is a little strong for my taste. Maybe it could be applied in a less uniform manner. But keep on weathering! I love them dirty ...

Beautiful work, your preshading is first rate. Congratulations

Przemek Przybulewski
Thank you all.
Some folks on polish forum pointed that exhaust petals are not correctly positioned.
After some research and few advised I decide to position them as they should be.
Last two photos show correct position of brake petals during stop.
