Started work back on this one. Added the main gear doors. Still thinking about what to do about those engines on the top and how to display it in flight.

I cannot say enough great things about the Ammo sanding sticks. In just a short amount of time today, I got the nose sanded and looking so much better.

I liked Testors 'best guess' kits. This one is really cool looking and wish it had been built.
Reminds me a bit of this one :giggles:

I hadn't seen that one before. I'm going paint this one in the Have Glass V scheme and use some F-16 decals for it.
