Bekim Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) Hello When I was a young boy I was always impressed by the YF-23 , in end of the 90´s it lost against the YF-22 and it never went into produktion, I thought Chris Wilson ( Zacto ) will lounch one but ... anyway ; so what to do ? the only way is to start by myself doing one in 1/32 I got an accurate drawings where all the cross sections were visible, its 633,125 mm long ; so let´s get started with this beauty ....

Oldbaldguy Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Imagine if you can a modeling world in which no one ever said, “No, you can’t do that.” Well, we are there. This one is already singing to me, all sweet like. Bekim and Martinnfb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F`s are my favs Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Tremendous endeavour! I did a conversion to a what-if F-23A serial version of the plane (in 1/48 though) and I can barely imagine what would it be in 1/32. It is going to be huge, larger than the Raptor.I would have celebrate if you model the serial production variant (there are quite decent drawings as well), but hey, this one will be a blast as well. Have fun! Bekim and Martinnfb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
