Close to the end...
Washing and clear coat on.

That looks great!

That is one attractive camo scheme! And the Chicom Star & Bars give a nice splash of color.

Thanks mates. And now it is close to finish line. Only some antennas and missiles are left. New for me: a Dark Red wash on the PL-8 rockets.

You did a great job on this. And to my eye, you got some really nice modulation in those camo colors. Just the right amount of modulation. And you did it on a relatively small aircraft, too, which totally blows my mind. Great work!

I see a lot “inspiration” from the Typhoon and Viper in this design. And the PL-6 missile sure look a LOT like the Israeli Python 3 missile....

Very nice work though. A beautiful build!

It's actually a copy of the Israeli Lavi and a F-16.

The process of creating the red wash is much better than the kit part’s design—particularly those three central ribs. The PL-8 is shaped a bit like a dart. I think the transitional ribs ought to be slimmed down and almost taken away, although I hesitate to offer this criticism as I have been making out of scale details in 1/32. At 1/72 this is what, a needle, perhaps? Still at magnification it appears distinctly different than the weapon it represents... thoughts? Echo back.

Go figure...

I once heard Chinese to Russian espionage compared... the Russians would send one tourist to bring back a suitcase full of a beach, the Chinese will send thousands of tourists to each bring back a single grain of sand from that same beach.
