Excellent work (again) 👍 It really, really captures the original extremely well, including the cleanness & consistency of colors & everything. No nonsense or forced details, a clean-cut silhouette in the air... A flawless job all over start to finish... Pictures great as usual too!

This build moved my perception of the subject from "Yeah, an F-16 spin-off, what about it...?!" to "I want to build one and play with the colors & finish ASAP" (understand: in the early/mid-2020´s) 🙂

Already looking forward to your next endeavour!

Thanks Tim, Donald, Nathan, Sybar, Neuling, Ricardo, Kees, Daniel, Ingo, Soeren, Konrad, Daniel, Slavo, Stephan, Forest, and Murad! All of your kind words and compliments humble me, and I am so appreciative of the positive feedback!

The base is home made using a baseball card holder, a printout of work I did on Adobe Illustrator, some screws, 12" aluminum bar, and a piano black blank plaque base. I have created a new album and uploaded some behind the scenes look of how I put it together. You can see the album here:

Slavo, inspiring someone to take on a subject is the greatest compliment I could receive. With you amazing skills, I am sure it will be a masterpiece!

Daniel Klink, yeah, it has been almost 4 years now since I started my first model as an adult, the 1/48 Italeri F-14A Tomcat. As I look back through my albums, I can see major improvement in my skills over the years, and I think I really started to come into my own at right about build #11, which was another 1/48 Italeri F-14A, an in-flight build of an Iranian bird. I still have a lot to learn and much to improve, but I will get there.

Again, a wonderful model with a fantastic paint job. Kudos for the in-flight stand - aircraft look best in the air, yet rarely they are modelled this way. Well done!
