my favs are F`s Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Hi all! Here is my recently finished model - the infamous F-23A Black Widow II, as she could have look like if entering into serial production. 🙂 The weathering also features quite a significant amount of "what if", but for the conversion i used all the unclassified pics and diagrams on the www.yf-23.net website. I tried to make this kit as correct as possible while sticking to the mentioned dimensions, angles, etc. - all the changes from the prototype version YF-23. As a base kit - it is the HobbyBoss's 1/48 kit and here is the WIP topic. (PS: the pics on the first pages are invisible... don't know why...) and another PS: the landing gear and the rudders move, so i'll take a couple of photosessions - in an in-flight mode and parked. Overall photoshoot: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Falconxlvi Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Another great build! I’m looking forward to the wheels up shots Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Outstanding achievement! The paint and weathering is wonderful...I must try replicate that on a Raptor some day. It looks fantastic from every angle in flying pose... wheels down kind of puts the grace of it down a bit 😛 indeed very well done and you should make a cast of that fuselage and give me, it's even sexier than the YF... 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
my favs are F`s Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 10x gents! I appreciate the kind words. 😜 Aigore, yep, nothing better than the Raptor and the Have Glass, and the heavy tear and wear, and the clean stealth sillhouettes. Btw the wheels are down cause they are drying :))) I just glued the wheels to the pylons and weathered them. They only need some flat spots underneath and the glue to dry well till tomorrow, and i'll take the "parked"-mode pics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sebastijan Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Really cool build, mate! I've been following your progress from the beginning and I really like what I see now. Also cool to see a stealth fighter weathered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
