Dazzio Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I like what I see, is that the Revell MiG-31 on the top row?? I'm assuming that F-16XL is the Airfix kit, do you think the nose section looks a little off?? Will watch these with interest Kind Regards Dazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will watch these with interest Kind Regards Dazz the front end of the xl looks like a random blob of plastic thats been put in the microwave by my 3 year old lol the panel lines are of about 4 feet wide in scale terms too but its cheap and it loooks like an xl to me. i try not to get too hung up on accuracy mainly because theres not much i can do about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzio Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Jesus Christ dude, you are building the history of modern flight there! Good luck to you mate. I dont measure the aircraft or count rivets myself, I leave that to the professionals who actually know what they are talking about and can be bothered That F-16XL nose just looks really... off to me. Was just wondering if anyone else thought so too, thats all. Good luck! Kind Regards, Dazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPaul Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Thats very nice. I am afraid mine isnt up to that standard, although I am enjoying making it. The Cold War Russian aircraft are so damn mean and purposeful looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzio Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 That MiG-31 looks damn impressive! Might have to pick one up myself. I always thought that the kit would be a complete dog, but you've proved me wrong. Very very very nice Kind Regards Dazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
