1/48 F-23 “in service”?

[chrispisme]

Hobby Boss 1/48 YF 23 impulse buy and 2 week to build. It’s a great kit, very good fit. Great subject matter (just my opinion) I must have 7 different shades of grey on it, I used a mix of Tamiya acrylics, Vallejo and Alclad lacquers. Decals are a very old Micro Scale set of 1/72 F 18 markings and Kinetic 1/32 Hawk, the only kit decal used was the in-flight refueling guide. Some of the decals disappeared into the grey paint.

I went for a “what if it went into service” theme

Thanks forr looking

Very slick! Nice looking model also. Wonder what it would look like in a yellow wing retro scheme
