thom Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Looks fantastic - the weathering really stands out. Quite a plausible What-If, too, if you see what I mean. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

onescale Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Hello, I really don't like ( if not to say "hate") WIF, but this one is excellent!! Regards, Jens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCarlson Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 This is awesome and really clever. Can you give us more insight to what you did? It looks like F-14 weapons pallets on the bottom. Did you make the nose or did that come from another plane? Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Very sharp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

f12aaa Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Amazing painting job, in particular the chipped paint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChristopherC Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Wow! That looks so right, like it should exist. Fantastic job, every detail looks like it belongs. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST0RM Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Pretty much as Chris said above. It looks like it did exist as such. Makes you wonder what the officials would think after seeing these Whif models. Excellent build! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 That is an outstanding WIF project! That would have been quite an airplane had it gone into production. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
