Thanks Biggle. Working on the shell casing containers today. Intakes and wings carved but need some sanding before glueing.

Lou:

A great job on the wing and inlet geometry. All the pieces came together seamlessly with the fuselage and look great. I'd be interested in learning your technique to carve out the intakes. Where they simply carved out or drill first and then  carved to final shape?

Thanks Ken. The intakes were carved with a round rasp and then with sand paper wrapped on dowels.

Getting my interest up again after too much yard work. Paint is done and a gloss coat is drying as I type. The decals are at the same stage.

Very impressive Lou, great colour scheme, regards Paul J.

Thank you Paul. Almost every picture of Lortie Aviation Hunters have some differences in markings. I just picked one.

Thank you Paul. There are several civilian outfits doing combat support flying using various aircraft. There are Hunters flying in the US. We have Top Aces in Canada flying the Alpha Jet and IAI Westwind. Details at http://casr.ca/bg-ew-training-top-aces.htm
I have had a yearning to do the Westwind.
