1/48 YF-23 Black Widow II


Recommended Posts

Hi!

Here is my latest build completed in just two months.

It is the Hobbyboss 1/48th offering. Despite shape inaccuracies, the kit is still enjoyable to build.

Few parts, good fit.

I reworked some points:

- File down bumps forward the engine fairing on the upper side

- rescribe the too thin panel line

- add riveting

Paints are Gunze and varnishes are Microscale.

Decals from Caracal to depict the real PAV2 prototype, while kit decals are "what if".

Some pics:

BEAUTIFUL set, it should have been chosen instead of the YF-22, it was stealthier and faster, the f-22 is more manouvrable. But in my opinion there is no point in being agile if you can't outrun your foe in the first place.

Also is this kit exepensive i might make TSR2 replacement whiff on a whiff with the Black Widow II as the base
