QuoteHannants has 656 kits at that scale. The only problem at that scale is finding decals
Thanks Hobbes, to have made the search before me, and the result is great news, thanks Hobbes! thanks Hannants! :) As my models have no decals, the decal issue is not a problem for myself (I can send all the decals in my boxes, if someone is interested, but I have not made the list).
The most important point is that Nev showed us here above that 1/72 and 1/144 are very nice together, and this is the major point (as I have so many 1/72)... Thanks again Nev! :)

That makes 6 finished models this year, feels good to finish a model after 3 months off to play Medieval Total War and Half Life 2  :cheers:

I have already written a backstory, which will be making its way to Martin for the SIG newsletter.

Note the 2 Russian kill markings under the canopy and the soot around the guns...the spirit of Baron Von Richthofen lives on within JG71...

Webmasters may protest: the subject on this forum is what-if planes, and who could dare saying this F-20-2 is unreal? with such perfect harmony, with just the right wing, without stupid wheels of the old TOL way, this is Actual Reality, alas: very nicely done all right but too much Real for being here... :(  ;)  :lol:

wow looks great. you know if you just cliped the wings a little more is would kinda have that f-104 starfighter look.  maybe a plane with interchangable wings for different missions, bigger wings for ground attack and and thin stubby ones for the fighter role?  could be for developing air forces two planes for the price of one!!!!!  hey just a thought!

QuoteUh, just one question, were does the main gear go? <_<

SB
They're in the wings, just like on the F-20 wings.  I did scribe some gear doors on using the F-20 kits gear doors as a template, but you can't make them out in the photos.

She looks good with that loadout Nev, brings her to life

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
