Well the postie brought me my next project this morning as the title suggests.
It's going to be my entry for the modern fighter GB build Jan- April 2016.
What dominions about this Jet or Model? Not a dicky bird
So you will all be in on this as a new experience if out wish to watch.
Well what about the J10, I can only put what Wikepedia say about it:-
The Chengdu J-10 (simplified Chinese: 歼-10; traditional Chinese: 殲-10, Known in the West as the "Vigorous Dragon", or by the NATO Reporting NameFirebird) is a lightweight multirolefighter aircraft capable of all-weather operation, configured with a delta wing and canard design, with fly-by-wire flight controls, and produced by the People's Republic of China's Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC) for the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF). The Pakistan Air Force is the only export customer for the J-10.
From my little readings of it it seems to be in direct response to the Russian Mig 29 and Sukoi Su 27 and the Ameicans F15 and F16
It is reported that the radar system on the J10 is superior to that of the Eurofighter/ typhoon and weaponry is equivelant if not superior ( no bad on the Eurofighter )
The kit
The box art shows a pair of J10 inflight and Bronco artists look accurate. In the box you get everything in one bag with paperwork.Once in the bag you get 11 sprues that are individually bagged. A PE part for seat belts and a brass pitot tube. And decals ( all in their own bags and plastic seal)
The mouldings are of light grey medium soft plastic and very minimal flash if any. Crisp detail throughout ( and lots and I mean lots of ordinance )
A instruction booklet of how to put it together ( I hope I don't destroy this kit) This instructions give you paint options Gunze Sangyo/ Hobby Color/ Humbrol/ Tamiya ( gives a good range of help there?
A full fold out of colour pics of the two options you can create ( both Chinese )
The decals are in 2 pages with lots of numbers ( iddy widdy decals ) this is going to be a test to say the least.
Ok the sprue shots, sorry couldn't get all of the booklet in but il put up more pics as we go along
Enjoy and all comments positive or negative or tips would be helpful
Regards
Robert
This is one sprue but you get two identical to this
