    It’s getting to the point that it’s not worth selling stuff, not to mention PayPal reporting you to the IRS.

    They're coming after that too. Once it's regulated, it's safety goes away.

    They may be the cutting edge technology and bear the looks of that but no fifth gen comes near a long list of 3rd and 4th gen aircraft. Still I find the F-22A to be the best-looking one of the stealth types.
     
    Maybe we're growing old. What a man finds aesthetically pleasing may be related to his age I think. Excluding female curvatures of course

    Disappointing considering how good USPS use to be. Interesting how bad they have become over the last 20 years.

    Is this the ghost of Kiev? I’ve seen the video. Does anyone know if the Ukrainians still have a air force left?

    Thanks Matt, really appreciate your feedback!
     
    So I have the first strap glued in place with Tamiya extra thin and then ultra thin CA (ZAP in the pink bottle-its like water) around the edges.  Makes for a tidy attachment

     
    Notice I drilled out the holes to 0.5mm that Gene had marked on his file.  The reason I reamed them out to this dia with my tiny carbide drills was because there are actually big fastener heads in these locations
     
    See here (Photo courtesy Iain Ogilvie @Iain )

    So I thought I should show you how I am representing them.
     
    By inserting Evergreen 0.50 rod into the holes, these will be clipped down and sanded with a block sander and then buffed with 0000 steel wool to round the corners off. Notice also the inboard pylon mounts to this slightly proud...another circular shim to be added later

    Ok I must press on, thanks again to @Gene K for his help with this beautiful piece
     
    Cheers Anthony

    Thanks @vvwse4.  They are really good photos.  On seeing those it confirms to me what a brilliant job @Gene K has done.  I still have the centre piece to put on top of the main plate but I am just getting a nice tidy edge where it is glued on.  Interestingly the Brit ones had a lot of PEC type filler all around these plates, but on other photos they look very clean like these ones you posted. 
     
    Here is where I am at

     

     
     
    And have started working on the structure inside the Aux air doors...

    I sure wish someone would do that strike camera mod. that’s on Col. Olds F-4 double MiG killer. Your build is giving me the urge to do a C.

    I've done this after checking the Isradecal book. However when posting my model in Israeli group on Facebook I was told that IAF doesn't use it anymore.

    I think you can modify the 1/32 Tamiya HTS pod to look like the PP pod. I believe the IAF uses them on their F-16’s.

    Did some additional work on the seats.  Replaced the ripcords as mentioned above and touched up some mistakes.   
     
    In looking at more pictures of the real thing, I need to change the color of the ripcords.   The color I used is much too blue.  Lastly, still need to hit the seats with a wash, add a few paint scratches, a couple of decals and the ejection pull rings.  Also need to add a dab of superglue to smooth in the joint between the ripcords and the harness.   LOL, the more I look at these pictures, the more things I find wrong.   We are getting there, slowly though!

    Working on the single mount adapter for the LAU-7 now. Hope to have something available by the end of the day.
     
    The single mount AERO-3B will be added to the line and uploaded to the web site within the next few hours.
