Michael Phillips
Thanks Markus, Marko, Erik, Martin, Christian, Murad, Holger, Michael, and Bryn! You all flatter me with your kind words!

I will be honest, this one I never really enjoyed building. It has nothing to do with the kit or the subject, it was the stupid Aires Cockpit that took the wind out of my sails on this one. It took me more than a week of sanding, test fitting, cutting, test fitting, sanding, etc to get that thing in there. While I am happy with the finished product, I really rushed much of the construction just to "get it done and move on". There are definitely some visible areas that I should have spent more time on in the construction process. I am SO ready to move to my next project, which will be a Luftwaffe Tornado IDS.

Holger, yes, I did use nose weights. I used two lead fishing weights and stuffed them in there with some Blu Tac.

I really like the dirty look of it. That's on fine Scooter. Any pics of the underside?

Michael Phillips
Thanks Maciej! I once again forgot to take underside pics. I never seem to remember to do that...

Martin Oostrom
Too many enamel fumes in the past? 😉

Michael Hickey
I remember when I built my Israeli Skyhawk I wanted to fit the cockpit and wheel well bays from Aires, but the fit was shocking I just gave up and kept building it with out all the resin.🙁

Glenn
Really nice work Michael 🙂

Choppa Nutta

Dale Marston

Michael Phillips
Thanks Michael, Glenn, Choppa, and Dale!

LOL Martin, I wish I could claim that, but I have been modelling for a couple of years and have only used enamals a few times for washes.
