[:|] Wow… well you just made me feel really bad about how mine is looking [:$] But on a serious note, that is one absolutely fantastic model. I’m just an amateur right now, but this is really what I’m striving to get to some day. Thank you so much for taking the time to make a build thread, I felt that it has really taught me a lot.

Thank you all for the compliments!

Amazing work on this one. Every detail is top notch. I’m really impressed with the time and detail you put into the ordinance and fuel tanks too. All nicely weathered. Some day I want my jets to look like this one.[t$t]

Thanks again to all of you for the nice comments! I’m very flattered. Some of you are being waaaay to kind[:D[.

And I’m glad that those of you who followed the WIP thread got something out of it or at least enjoyed it. I know I always appreciate WIPs. I think its a great way to share tips and techniques…and they’re just good for the community anyway.

I just started working on a 1/48 Italeri IAF F-16C Barak. I’ll try to get pics and start a WIP with that one, too, if you all think that would be interesting.

Thanks again!

High Flyer - Just first rate, every bit. The WIP was a really good example of attention to details, patience and build quality. I think many of us could have learned quite a lot from the project, I sure did. Thanks a bunch.

I don’t build jets often, but I do have this kit in my stash. Quite a inspiration to start mine! Great looking build.
