Yup. Second times a charm, too! I really enjoy these kits. Not a lot of preamble with the WIP stuff...Basic assembly. Black primer. The decals are all from the kit with the exception of the formation lights which I gleaned from a set of 1/144 F-14 decals. The scheme is totally made up freehand on the spot with some leftover paint from another build.

Looks fantastic!   How big (or small) is this?

I do like the decals for this and I think the SU-35 style anti glare paint around the canopy looks great!

Looks good. 1/144 has come a-------long way since those chunky things Dragon put out in the 80's.
