Relatively speaking I was but old enough to be in the USAF.

I've been away the last couple of weeks visiting the kids in FL. My grandson, whose 16, is as tall as me now. After getting back, I managed to get some body work done. Or at least close to being done. I'm still amazed at the size of this aircraft compared to the Su-27. Gary S. #46 MASA

Don't blame it on me. I'd love to see yours built. So far I've managed to screw up more than once. Gary S. #46 MASAShe's looking very Dart-ish! If you do a good job on yours, I won't have to build mine!!

Sweet! Just found this. I built one of these as well for a friend of mine who was the Chief Design and Development Manager for this plane.
Thanks for the memories!

After cleaning up the fupas a second application of paint was given with great success. Flat black was painted on the nose radome. The curvy black coming down from the front wind screen will be a gloss black. The Falcon missiles were also painted. Gary S. XLV MMXXIV

Oh, my Friend, with SO many dinky TLAR Projects underway, it is unlikely I will do much work on anyone else's model for some time to come. I am enjoying your build very much!
I've been watching Miami river/Haulover inlet videos. Every time I watch a Midnight Express boat carving her way out to sea, it is all I can do not to start another master, probably 1/350, scale of her. Their 43 Open just begs to be a model! NO RHINO, NO!!

Panel lines drawn on with pencil. Don't plan to do any weathering as these aircraft were well maintained.
Almost done. Just needs a satin coat, the canopy mask removed and nav. lights. Gary S. XLV MMXXIV
REally nice job!
