Trumpeter JF-17 1/48


Recommended Posts

With everything going on, I was looking for a quick build.  The Trumpeter JF-17 seemed like a good kit and got it down.  For some reason, the I find the shape of this aircraft interesting.  Also, I got inspiration from Aigore in this thread http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/254336-jf-17-thunder/

 

 

The kit is ok.  You have to test fit most pieces and do clean up on the parts.  My intent was to do a closed canopy but it'd did fit well enough to go that route.  So, last minute change.  I used Caracal decals.   

 

Thanks,

Rodney

Very nice. It is an intriguing aircraft. Looks kind of like a cross between an F-16 and an F-18 but with those new type of intakes (I forget the name of them). Plus I like the Pakistani camo schemes. Well done Sir!

Nice build. :thumbsup: Don't see JF-17s too often. A pity, really, as it's a pretty neat design.

It is.  Maybe more air forces will purchase it and it'll get more visibility.
