I certainly overloaded myself a bit recently :hmm: I think I may have to back off on a few until progressed some of the others...

That being said - even though some of the glue is still wet along with some of the paint - I had to share this with you all. My first completed modern jet in 1/48!!! (actually only my fourth completed 1/48 kit). No it's not the best build to ever grace the boards, no it's not weathered, but I'm really stocked about it!

When I've got more light over the weekend I'll post more pic's

Skol!
You did a marvelous job on this one. I love the looks of many of the Soviet jets, they are just too cool. I still have yet to build any modern Soviet planes so I am totally jelly about yours. :bow:

Actually Brandon, that is a British jet: the Panavia Tornado. It does look a bit 'soviet' from certain angles though.... :lashed:

You know Stuart.....this turned out very well. Looks like you learned a lot and can't wait to see what your future builds hold in store for us.

British colors- British, German, and Italian in design and manufacture. The initial Harrier and Sea Harriers were the last true British aircraft.

LOL, yes it is. I looked at it and my brain went "oh, nice Mig-23" and that was all the thought I gave it. Derp!!! The Tornado is awesome too.
