A fantastic looking build there Tony, I'm glad I watched the build thread because it doesn't show what work you had to do to get it looking this good. I think this one should be Newark bound.

Superb result Tony, you have got to be proud of that one. The rivet detail really stands out on the model.

Thanks guys , yes i might take it to Newark Ian , although boxing it up is going to be a bit tricky , theres tiny fragile bits all over it !!! Cheers tony

excellent work mate, interesting subject, good to see you didn't do the F-16 and instead picked a more exotic aircraft.


Though in real life, it would be interesting to compare those two aircrafts against each other....

Well done Tony, an excellent looking model that you should be very proud of.

Thanks Ralph , I'm very pleased with how this one turned out ,and even more pleased that I didnt manage to knock off all the tiny aerials during the process!!! :D :D   I'm going to make a base for it and possibly source a traditional looking chinese dragon sticker to put on. thanks again for the kind comments  cheers tony

Thats one award winning build such a clean look the panel lines have stayed and there isnt any residue as when i do it i get some bleeding out but you have nailed it and the cockpit looks good enough to fly in

Thanks alot john!

 

[colin m]

might take it to Newark

I'm clearly a bit late catching up on this one. What a great build Tony. It looks perfect in every respect. Did you take it to the show  ?  Also I wonder, what hit the sky


first, The Eurofighter, or the 'Dragon' ??  I'm just wondering who took inspiration from who ?  Or 'borrowed' some drawings.

SUPER crisp build! B|

Cheers colin , gavin.  The shows not till october col but im still hoping to take it. As for the design it owes a lot to the data that was transferred ( legitimately this time) from the unsuccessful Israeli ' Lavi' project, an aircraft design similar to the j10 . The chinese added this info to their own design and the j10 was the result. There isnt actually much similarity to the typhoon really - one less engine , canards behind the cockpit not on the nose , its only the intake that makes them look related , thanks guys tony

Finally got round to making a base for this . Its a representation of the flag of the peoples republic of china , script coming from the decal sheet. Cheers tony
