Parabat Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 What a beauty! Always preferred the YF-23 to the YF-22. I like that the F-22 changed from the YF-22. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head in the clouds. Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Nice work and great tonal variation on the colour scheme. Always my preferred choice above the F22 in all aspects, a great looking plane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiseca Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Lovely build! I'm never able to make up my mind whether I think the YF23 is pretty or ugly, Seems to depend on the angle... but it's always eyecatching! It's distinctive and in comparison the F22 just looks plain. The engine bumps on the upper fuselage combined with the long nose and generally elongated fuselage always remind me of the Firefox. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 For lack of a better way to explain myself, the kit wings have what I'll call large dimples on the upper surface. They're very pronounced and very inaccurate. What did you do to eliminate those? There's no sign of them on your completed model and the area where they would be looks excellent now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navy Bird Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Very nice work with the modulation in the paint. Northrop always knew how to make cool airplanes. Cheers, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were two large indented (caved in) areas outboard of the forward end of the humps that house the engines (my previous description was too vague). They're not present on the real airplanes. It appeared they'd have to be filled in with putty or epoxy so that the upper surface of the affected area would be smooth. I hope that makes more sense.

dragan_mig31 Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 Yes it does now.I think I filled those with superglue and sanded them flush. Regards,Dragan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
