        Have you flown it after completion of the mods and paint? I’m a bit curious how it holds up with airframe flex in flight. I painstakingly covered one of my models in aluminum tape, taking pains to get it perfectly down with no wrinkles. After the maiden flight, the wing section came back with lots of wrinkles from the airframe flex.

          • Looks nice. Does it help with seeing it in the air? Are you going to add wing tip missiles of some sort?

            • Evan it helps alot in the air, due to the belly of the jet is white. I have a set of iris t missles on it just don't have a pic "I think".

                                Sweet F14 and F22. I'm with you on customizing. Before I buy an aircraft, I figure out want paint job I want to use. If I like it, I buy it, but if I can't figure out a new scheme, it stays in the wishlist-soon to be deleted!

                                • Thank you I’m getting ready to start on the FW 90 Raptor have a special scheme all ready. Another Ace Combat special which is probably my favorite video game of all time. Haven’t played for years now got tired of replacing or fixing my 80g PS3. I’ll post pics on the Raptor soon I’ve already done full lights, getting ready to install a working cockpit ( thank you Hamiltons Customs ) along with his canopy mod

                                    I love this. I grew up near England Air Force Base and watched A10s that looked just like this, flying all through my childhood.
