There is just something in fighters with delta shaped wings!

The cockpit looks good, and you succeeded perfectly with those belts ! They hang very naturally on the seat

Thanks all!

No worries Bruce - I like Humbrol's own Evoco Brushes - specifically a number 4. These do about 99.9% of my painting along with a few selected Citadel brushes for detail.

I like the Evoco because they're natural hair and very soft - just the job for not leaving paint marks. I paint with nothing larger than a number 4 as use very little amounts of thin paint an move it around a lot - that whole ''Use a big flat brush and move it in the direction of the airflow...'' is tosh in my opinion - well it's never worked for me anyway.

That is looking very good
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

That's a great image Carlos - thanks for sharing that. It looks really interesting with those tanks - look how close they are to the slats!

I'm also in a bidding war for one of these as well - The 2000N not the F-16 :grin:

Mind you, Don't hose Venezuelan markings look cool?
