Thant Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Myanmar Air Force's newly purchased Jf-17 Thunder! The kit is from Trumpeter in 1/48th scale. Last year I have built and posted the Myanmar Air Force Jf-17 in the digital camo(What-if)scheme. But in this model, the camo is identical to the real ones as I had a chance to attend the official commissioning ceremony of these new jets and to took photos. Cockpit is upgraded by photo etch parts from Dream Model. Decals are custom printed and are a bit out of scale and untidy. Thanks. 44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Nice clean build, that looks sweet and I love the camo colours! The Myanmar Airforce has some nice camo schemes. My father built a MiG-29 a few years ago. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235020031-burma-bandit148-mig-29se-9-13-myanmar-airforce-new-pics-added/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Hello Thant, First the THUD and now this one. Not familiar with this type of aircraft, looks like a copy of the Mirage. It looks fantastic. You did it again, my verdict: "Master Modeler" Regards, Orion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is developed in joint by Pakistan and China. More like a copy of F-16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain goat Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 That is a great looking Thunder, very nice. I like the general shape of the plane, but the camouflage colours make it stand out nicely. Is the JF-17 meant to replace the F-7 in Myanmar Air Force service?

Jay There are still many F-7s in service. I don't think the Jf-17s are the direct replacement for the F-7s. And we got only 7 Jf-17s in the inventory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
