Heres the first piccies of my Anigrand XF-108, Im hopeing to have her finnished in time for this weekends Cosford show

This baby is one sweet kit, it just falls togeather. Prity good for a resin kit.  She has been a joy to built very little filler needed at all. Next up is the XF-103 wich arrived this morning direct from Anigrand, which is were I got the 108. Made a decent saveing over the 47 quid Hannants what for it.

Sweet !

You must be rich, Martin...with all these resin beauties on the go !

as for markings, I'd go USAF, or CDN, with that all white Arrow look you got going there ! Other than that, some RAF anti-flash low-vis markings would look good as well, but you guys woulda built your own planes.......

Also, looks like you could bash-up a pretty decent look-alike with aa HC Arrow kit, the tail and wings are almost identical !

Thanks for sharing !

Martin,
I've a couple of sets of F15 decal sheets, One from the Hasegawa F15C and the other from the Airfix F15E, both of which were never completed. They're yours if you want 'em.

See what you can find in 1/48 F-102/f-106 or 1/32 F-15.  Personally, I like the markings of the 318th FIS.

Problem sorted, via tamiya masking tape and as steady a hand as I could manage.
She may be wearing star and bars but she's now European based.

Now you see, there's something to be said for being single and childless. It means that we can afford things like the Anigrand XF-108!  If you're single, childless and own your own house you can also turn it into a shrine to modelling and aviation with no-one to answer to!  Viva les singles! Here's my Rapier as of twenty minutes ago. . .

Couldn't agree more with you mate. I ave/had my own place which was a shrine to models and aviation until I met someone a couple of years ago. Now it's a kid infested rathole where I have to fight for model space.  Take some advice STAY SINGLE!!!!!
