Great work my dear friend!!!
This famous chicken!
One day, I will make it… But after another one, you know what I mean!
Thank you Dee-Jay!

Radium it is really amazing, thanks for your effort!

Radium, you will build the single seater variant as well? I know is not mean to be flyable, a real shame as is such an iconic airplane!!
Regarding the BIG PROJECT, hope is Mirage F.1 related, in my case is the plane I have been waiting since the times of FreeFalcon.

Hello,
You are right, I wasn’t sure if I would make it or not. In the end, I spent a couple of hours doing it nicely.

Such a fitting flight suit for Starfighter pilots…

Such a fitting flight suit for Starfighter pilots…
Hello,
Japan used orange flight suits till early 90s. Some countries, like Japan, Taiwan and Japan, considered orange flight suits. You can still see Taiwanese pilots wearing them, and as far as I remember, Norway still use them. The reason is for safety, if you have to eject in the sea (Taiwan and Japan are oceanic countries), or if you find yourself lost in the mountains of Norway, it’s easier to find you if you are in orange.
Nevertheless, they are not US/NATO standard, they are high quality Japan custom made flightsuits, made of dark green fabric.
Best regards,
Radium

The model and skins are very well done, the Russian Navy use the orange suits while at sea too I think.

Hello!
Some news for tonight :
As you can see, things are going nicely! I enhanced the last parts of the model, and made first licenseplates.
Cheers,
Radium

My bad, but I think the joke escaped you:
All I can say is that I wish I was a better modeler - I’m envious of how you can just blaze through something like this… and then it’s still right despite the incredible pacing! Very cool, and a fantastic job.

Airbrakes movement is hard to implement but I notice something good in that position.
Wonderful Job

Thank you for your kind comments,
I am incredibly bad at understand jokes or second degree… I just love Incom T-65 X-Wing, much more than T-70! I had honestly been dreaming a lot piloting the X-wing into the Death Star trench. X-Wing Starfighters are just the most beautiful vessels of all sci-fi in my very humble opinion! Take-off scene from Yavin 4 was incredible… It was really well made, they sucessfully mixed sci-fi with what we knew from Cold War fighter aircrafts including sounds… Incredible movie. This is the reason why “A New Hope” is one of my favorite Star Wars… If You are interested, as you look to be a fan, my Star Wars rating is : VI, IV, Rogue One, III, VII, I, II, V.
Airbrakes movement is hard to implement but I notice something good in that position.

Thank you Dema!
I had a hard time to figure out how they worked… Then, I tried to make something convincing and realistic.
I am working on DOFing and Switching. Most is done except gears.
She flies well in BMS. I shall start her unwrapping tomorrow within the 26.

Congratulations to all people the involved in this new project, it looks so amazing that I can’t wait!
Just only a suggestion regarding skinning & license plates: As this aircraft was present in the Balkans Theater, if possible please make an italian air force skin with the right license plates
Best regards
