Freewing 80mm MiG-29, Luftwaffe Jagdgeschwader 73, painted in Norm 90J scheme as a "zapped" bird (scorpion logo on nose).
Self-designed decals, printed on water-slide paper. Completely revised own-design cockpit, most parts printed on a resin printer. More own-design 3d printed parts include nozzles, dorsal air scoop, gun and aux inlet vents, new radome with functional pitot tube, nose gear strut covers, IRST sensor and some "flight line equipment" (thanks to Jörg for the wheel-chocks!).
Additional working LEDs (top and bottom ACLs, white tail light, two additional landing lights). Power system upgraded to 8s, HET 700-68-1865KV motors, German-made LED "afterburners".

Big thx to MRC for organizing this custom aircraft competition
Good luck to all the contestants!
Here's my Belgian T-33. This particular aircraft (FT24) served from 1954 till 1980. It is preserved at a historical center on the Beauvechain airbase but I still need to visit it, maybe when the Covid-19 situation has cleared up!
More info & pictures here:
This T-Bird from the Belgian Air Force was taken on charge in 1954 and served till 1980, accumulating 1420 flying hours. It is here shown - preserved - at the Beauvechain Historical Center. The colors have faded since I saw her last (about 25 years ago).... FT-24. Lockheed T-33A Shooting Star. JetPhotos.com is the biggest database of aviation photographs with over 5 million screened photos online!

The FW Twin 80mm A-10 redone in the Arctic Thunder Scheme. Mods include:
* Arctic Camo repaint using HD spray Rustoleum (in case it gets wet) and hand painted testors gloss enamel
* Graphics by Callie
* 3D Printed cockpit courtesy of Dirty Dee Designs
* Jet Hangar Hobby 1/10 Scale Full Body Pilot
* Trailing Link nose gear for grass ops
* Reinforced nose section with carbon fiber tubes
* AR637T RX with satellite and hundreds of RF Chokes
* 4 Coats of exterior clear gloss Spar Urethane
This is probably my best flying EDF, takes off with ease, flies incredible fully loaded and lands like a "kitty cat". It's big, beautiful and finally for me with this scheme, easy to follow it's orientation. All I need is some snow here in S Florida to make it feel like home.

Couldn't decide between my A-10 and the F-18 Canadian, both done "In the Year of the Corona" , so I'm not playing favorites. It's like asking which of your children do you love best? I Love them Both, so someone else can decide if either are worthy.
FW 90 mm F-18 stock grey base. Mods include:
* Canadian Demonstration Team RCAF CF-18 repaint using HD spray Rustoleum and testors gloss enamel
* Graphics by Callie
* 4 final coats of exterior clear gloss Spar Urethane
* 3D printed cockpit set, instruments from various sources
* Jet Hangar Hobby 1/10 scale full body pilot
* Twin afterburner courtesy of RC Geek
* Upgraded 12 blade 4068-1835 Kv Inrunner (making this the "Beast from the South East)
* AR636 RX with satellites and plenty of RF Chokes (seems to be a running theme there)
* Modified elevator servos/linkage and mounts
This may look like a "Hangar Queen" but I actually fly it (proof offered in the video). But it is the "Queen" of my Hangar, no doubt!
