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

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'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?
