Here is the latest model I have completed. It took some work and a few frustrating moments, but I managed through to complete it. At times I was wishing Tamiya would produce an F-4 in 1/48th scale as well as their F-16's.

This was built straight out of the box using the Furball Aero Design Decals and painted with Tamiya acrylics. Thank you for looking and sharing your criticism.

Love this bird, very nice build!

Beautiful I hope to achieve that level as some else asked how did you produce the panel lines?
