sv51macross :Thanks. Load-out courtesy of Skunk Model Workshop IAF weapon set.
Gambler: Thanks Jeff. Qian: Thanks Qian. Btw, did u submit any entries for the Airfix Cup @ NP? Edgaras: I used Gunze Colours for the camo, very 'rich' colour range. As of now, i'm doing the Hasegawa P-47 egg plane.  Btw, do post up your Sufa pic once you start building it.Eric: Thanks Eric.

Btw I also have a Kinetic F-16D+ which I've yet to start. Need to concentrate on my studies first before I commence building my sufa in about 3 weeks time!  |

 It's the man, not the kit, tools or paint... Group: Members Posts: 990 Joined: 12-September 05 From: Singapore Member No.: 5621 |
I've seen this build in the flesh... plastic and it truly deserves the 1st placing in this year's Airfix Cup.
Well done! Mark |

gb_madcat_sl: Thanks Mark. The build-off with you was the inspiration. Thanks again.
kurnass77: Thanks kurnass. Would love to see your work soon too. Currently i'm doing a Hasegawa P-47 eggplane for an Eggplane GB locally but i already have another F-16 on the way too. Stay tune my friend.  moeggo: Thanks moeggo. I use Alclad for the exhaust, Gunze for most part of the Sufa and vallejo to do the detail paintings. I hope that helps. Aggressor Supporter: Thanks Aggressor Supporter but how i wish i had mounted the 600 gallon tank on. It would make it even look bigger. Thanks again guys.

No doubt about it, but I have one question and this is not looking for flaws or anything...........no way. Here it goes: Does the SUFA usually fly with the new bigger drop tanks or the regular standard as shown? I thought I had read somewhere that it is OK to use the drop tanks (and pylons maybe) from the HAS F-2A or F-2B kit. I had planned to try and use the bigger drop tanks and pylons from the F-2A/B kit, but now that I see this SUFA, I am inclined to use what comes in the Kenetic kit instead. One quick kit question: Can the kit easily be made with the landing gear in the retracted position? I'd like to have a pair of these in formation on a really nice stand. |
