The pics look pretty good. What do you think of the quality vs. price?

 

I have always been hesitant to mail order models like this just because most of the stuff I have seen in stores is flawed enough to make me balk at the price.

i think its good quality for the price,

 

hoewever it could be more realistic so im going to do a couple of mods on it

 

nav, cockpit and beacon lights

repaint the afterburner

add more weathering

 

 

EDIT and the cockpit, so it raises like this one

I am more concerned with misaligned paint/marking/decals, and other basic flaws with the model. Needed improvements, I can live with if the basic work has been done well.

 

Thanks for the info, btw.

As a former scale-model junky I feel the same. :) But at a first glance it looks cool - that's for sure. It definitely needs a wash to bring out some depth and some pigments for effect.

to be fair the camo markings line up nicely however i have noticed the front cockpit part is dark grey all rounnd and shouldnt be.

 

i have some model weathering wash from my modelling days. so im definitely going to do that to bring out thr panel lines. and add the nav lights.
