I like the RCAF livery. Once the gear and weapons are on, and you do a stand alone photo shoot of the aircraft, I think it's going to look pretty darn cool.

a few more things

have been added

weapons pod on the fuselage side, covered it with an oversize piece of foil and trimmed to size

missiles in their racks

more decals

the foil covering turns out to be very fragile, especially at the edges of things

the canopy fell off (again), this time i broke down and used a little superglue

That last photo against the grass is easy to imagine as an in flight image of a banking aircraft. Add a dab of kerosene fragrance and call this build a success!

The plane looks, and photographs, a lot better in sunlight Ken.
