Very nice!

That test build looks encouraging, a lot more subtle in the handling of the fuselage surface details than the 3D Arma Models offering. I think it looks better. And a lot easier than adding your own rivets to the Italeri....

Perseverance! Great work, looks very sinister. I had my rounds years back with that kit, I had forgotten about the cart, glad to see it included.

I'm on the final stretch of the Hobby Boss MiG-29K, which is the same kit (bar a few details) as the MiG-35, it's a good kit. I see HB like Italeri but with better detail. It's going together very nicely with no fit issues, details are good, cockpit good and it will be OOB with exception of my own small refinements and decals. It's not without some head scratching moments regarding some decisions on their part. I've enjoyed the HB kits I've built, not underwhelming to me at all and certainly lacking the utter frustration of some Trumpeter and KH builds. However I do think their decal department needs to be fired. One should not have to hand paint them...

Brass landing gear would be a good idea!

Very fine work there, you've built a CV-22. Did you change any of the bumps and antennae or was it just decals?

The YF-23 barely fits on my shelves, that's big! Great perseverance and result. Regarding the design of the kit, does it feel solid or do you have to hold your breath when moving it?

I think this is my favorite build ever. Museum piece.

Thanks BM! I did keep going and finished it, I'll put it up in Ready for Inspection when I've got some good photos.

I love a long term project finished. Excellent work.

Stupendo, molto bravo.

Finally! I've had enough of scratch building empty interiors of the Academy/Italeri kits.

Great building, I love the display of later Tomcatters' aircraft with it. Inspiring.

Fantastic result, I've been down that road with all the aftermarkets, not easy. Fine paintwork.

10 out of 10!
