Just couldn't leave well enough alone with an easy buildin' airplane couldja? Had to go and hack off the tail feathers and add that resin-y stuff huh? Well, see where it got ya? Huh? Do ya?

Ok, yeah, in the end it'll probably be the dog's danglies, but was a bumpy road gettin' there huh?

Is that the right rudder for your version? Seems to be a heck of a gap at the top there.

Yea I was looking at my Aires F-16 whee; wells and all the small parts. Then realized there doesn't seem to be any instructions. So I gues guesswork is the order of the day.

Looking good keep at it.

It's amazing how hard it is to see things when the tape's still on.

OK, so where are the pics, you airbrushing fiend? Has your GF regretted the day you bought it yet? Looks like you're making excellent use of it, Neo. The silver finish is looking impeccable.

Looking good Neo! That big blue hand's gotta create ALOT of drag on those workbench fly-by's!

Stripes look GREAT! Isn't that just the way it goes?! Do some nice detail work like different shaded panels only to have them get covered up by D-stripes later?
