I think I'm having too much fun with these X-29 kits. The Hasegawa kit is a small and relatively easy kit to put together with not many parts.
Almost wish I had a few more of these kits as there's a few other concepts I'd like to build.
Bad thing about the X-29 kit is that it's such a small aircraft, that there's not much you can put on it for armament choices.
Missiles like Sidewinder and/or Sparrow/AMRAAM are the most obvious/used weapons that I've seen on other models.
Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.
