Starfighter Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Here are some photos of the 1/32nd scale Trumpeter kit I finished two years ago. The surface details were completely redone, lots of rivet detail was eliminated, all groove lines rescribed and corrected, underwing pylons detailed & modified. The kit was a PITA to assemble, but I'd do it again - the Revell kit is no alternative. At least, this one looks more or less correct... Decals from Fightertown, Eduard PE parts, seat from Legend, nozzles from Aires, ECS vents & control stick from Aerobonus, wheels / seamless intakes from Rhino models IIRC, AIM-9X from Zactomodels, GBU-38 from Videoaviation, modified figurine from Reedoak. The cockpit is a modified Academy Hornet cockpit. As usual, comments and critique are welcome and appreciated!

CZPetrP Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I missed that. Very nice. How does the model build? Is he better than Revell? Thank you. Petr Starfighter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfighter Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 Thanks everyone, I am glad such "boring" and simple line jets get your approval as well! Petr, it is annoying to build but better than the Revell model in every aspect. It is much more accurate and easier to build than the Revell kit.
