And here are the brutally honest shots in 1/72nd using the macro lens. That's all I've got.

It's a fun kit. I did make a couple of mistakes. One huge one was use of a .357 158gr bullet as nose ballast. It was a tad too long and affected my cockpit alignment when the fuselage halves were put together. My dry fitting was off. Oh well. I highly recommend the kit. It also came with other weapon loadouts that included HARM and air-to-gnd missiles. Decals were decent.

I've always loved the SLUFF. One of the first models I ever made as a kid in a hotel room.

Even in non-forgiving macro, she's still a beaut Matt! There's only a very few small bits that show any imperfection, and that's only due to the camera recording everything the human eye wouldn't notice. Must look stunning in 'real life', great job mate! I'd love to see what you could do with a larger scale - outstanding I'd guess.

With Terry here Matt.

 

[Gnomey]

Yep, even in macro she looks good Matt. Good job!

 

[Glider]

Looks really good. For what its worth I consider the A7 to be one of the most overlooked aircraft of its period.
