Fierce Dragon

[takeslousyphotos]

I just bought this puppy

Trumpeter CAC/PAC FC-1 Fierce Dragon (JF-17 Thunder) 1/48 ............ and the Dream Model Cockpit Upgrade to go with it. So this'll be my next build after I finish the Swordfish.

I'll post up some progress piccies when I start it.





.......and I just ordered a airbrush and compressor.

New toys all round.:yes:

Cheers to All

It hasn't even turned up yet and already I'm researching and working out what modifications there needs to be..... Apparently the the exhaust nozzle is not accurate and needs changing for the MiG 29 version. Apparently the engines on the real planes are pretty much the same. I understand these are available "Quickboost" do them in resin. So I guess I need to find me one of them.

Interesting, It looks rather like a Chinese "rip-off" of an F16.....

I'll be looking in on this when you get going...

I just found a pair of MiG-29 Nozzles .........



So that's about all I need now to crack-on when it turns up. As I've had to buy a pair if anyone else is taking a crack at this kit or any other single engine fighter that has the Klimov Klimov RD-33 or RD-93 Turbofan engine then I'll happily donate one.
