Modern Fighter Aircraft Groupbuild.
Nasty white plastic that is hard to photograph.
ESCI doesn't provide enough rails for the intended load
Bonus, 10 Snakeye's for the spare box.
The decals look ok after all these years
Starting with the wingtanks
Now this is shallow, 5mm won't do for the air intake.
Bring forward the saw
Plastic card to the rescue.
Birdshot n' white glue.
The nose gear whell is open, plastic card to the rescue once again.
More birdshot
The bangseat looked a bit dull so I added some Tamiya tape n' lead wire.
Nasty gap in the back fixed with plastic card.
Some improvisation in the front gear bay.
Putty time...
After some vigourus work with a round file. It looks better than the original 5mm intake depth.
A SLUF isn't complete without things that go BOOM!
AN/AAR-45 FLIR Pod knicked from my Hobby Boss kit that comes with two of 'em.
The glass cover for the pod.

Urban GardiniThanks mate! It's halted temporary as a Jug came in the way for my interest all of a sudden but the build will continue soon.
