Looks good to me, good color density on the white and panel lines are not overdone. What's next?

Great work. 2 years is not bad. My 262 took me almost 5 years (do a little put it away for a year etc..........)Now that you know you can finish one time to start another. JOHN

Nice looking model eagle. I hope to get to my P-47 someday Disapprove [V]

when i finish my 2 that i am working on now. I was working on the Hobbycraft Su- 27 but that ended in tragedy. Wish i could find a better Su-27 in 1/48th.

I have the Academy SU-27 which I think is the original issue of the Hobbycraft, what's wrong with it? It looks pretty good in the box.

Looks great, eagle ! The choice of markings with the white tail & cowl are a nice touch. Did you use clear green & red on the nav. lights? I like it. Glad to see you feeling the accomplishment of finishing a kit ! Hope we don't have to wait two years for another. Good job.

Hey Pix

What I did on the Nav lights is, since they are seperate clear pieces, I drilled a hole from the back side into the lens and then put red paint in one and green in the other. from the outside of the lens it looks like a light bulb inside.

That hurts Blackwolf !!! It's one thing to slam me in private, but to do it on a public forum is unexcusable.

I clear my nose in your general direction. Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.

Did you change your ID?

Eagle, I'd like to extend to you my cordial invitation to the theoretical place of eternal punishment. Your mother was a hampster and you father smellt of eldeberries. (or however you spell that word...)

And the word is INexcusable...

Yes, I did change my name slightly.

BTW, if you need some yellow paint you can always borrow some of mine. Either that or Dan might have some BROMA left over... Wink [;)]

Maybe in your warped, 3rd dimensional world it's INexcusable, but not in mine dagnabbit.

Yellow paint? What in the world would I need yellow paint for? Smile [:)]

Yellow paint? Did I say yellow paint? Oh, I did say yellow paint, didn't I? My mistake...

BTW, props on the fact that were able to finally finish this beast, especially after all the woes you had with it. Thumbs Up [tup]

Even though it still looks like a blind-build entry...

How long should we keep this up, you think?

Looks great. Now I suppose I'm going to have to go against nature and finish one of my own.
