                        My name is Ming, a chinese working in US Big Smile [:D]
                        spent 6 years in Austin TX for my Ph.D
                        moved to bay-area california last year (and still miss Austin badly Smile [:)])
                        I have built some tiny 1/144 scale before and finally switched to 1/72, still feel I have a lot to learn in this hobby
                        And this airfix 1/72 Ja-35 was started in Texas and finished in CA after thousand plus miles trip
                        Happy thanksgiving to Y'all.

                        Nice looking wingy thingy, I for one wouldn't know a Saab from a 747. But it certainly looks good whatever it is ! Wink [;)]Wink [;)]

                        Hey, great work on that Draken! i think it looks way cooler than the vigen and its distinctive canard wings. do you own an airbrush? how did you get those camo lines real clean?!? Smile [:)] Oh, and 1/72nd is the way to go!(never mind all those treaded mud-moving bathtubs... sorry shermie. Big Smile [:D])

                        just had some turkey at friend's place. what a feast!Big Smile [:D]
                        thanks y'all for your nice words.
                        it is a draken, first model after I bought my airbrush, which is a great thing to have and actually doesn't cost a whole lot (I spent 150 for a compressor and a dual action brush). but I still have problem with camo line: sometime leaks because lousy masking and still can't work out those nicely blend line....Disapprove [V]
                        anyway, a lot to learn and will be a lot of fun also
                        and I will see you guys around
