F-23A in 1/48


F`s are my favs

10x man! The scientific journey is not even started yet :)... i just printed out the templates of the profiles for the fuselage, to begin with the fine "adjustments" of the nacelles and the humpback, and guess what.... Only 1 out of 6 profiles matches so-so, the other 5 profiles will require huuuuge "adjustments". Pics in a sec.

It was quite a journey - filling with molten plastic, waiting to dry, sanding and reshaping the upper fuselage. Nevertheless this time i did it justice. The profile tempaltes played a big role for the fine touches. Here is a glimpse from the filling:

And as of today - with nightlight for the sillhouettes to pop up a bit better. It was a great endeavor but i`m just about 99% happy with the result. It now looks completely different from the YF-23 fuselage:

Still plenty of small things to do, at least the main part of the conversion is finally complete. Yes! :)
