Guizhou JJ-7/FT-7 in 1:200 scale

[cafe]

I'm working on a Guizhou JJ-7/FT-7 in 1:200 scale. Here are some pics of the first test-build. I need to make a few changes to the rudder and ventral fins and I still have to design a landing gear and some fuel tanks.

Edit : added a pic with examples of my previous 2 generations of MiG-21 (1989 and 1994 respectively).

That looks like a long history of papermodelling... [before I was even born

The design looks fantastic, and 1:200 scale is quite small for an aircraft too

Thanks. And yes they're quite small.

The model looks excellent, time for the magnifyinf glass

Excellent work in that small scale!

Thanks, Don and Janx.

I added the undercarriage. The "legs" of the main landing gear are too inclined.

Slowly getting there. I corrected a few things and did the first colour scheme which... didn't print right (too light). :p But that's not really a problem for this specific aircraft.

I was testing the colour scheme for a pakistani FT-7P (#602 or 603) before trying it for real with Inkscape (and with correct colours).

I tried a different canopy, a bit wider for the instructor.



The difference is not really apparent... and I glued it in the wrong position (1 mm to the back).
