Wrap-up
This was the first modern fighter I've built in many, many years. I'm really sad to say that the kit really disappointed me. If I hadn't gotten this kit on sale I might even be upset but since I only paid half-price for it I consider it a good kit to test the skills and experiment.

Please Note: There are more images of the completed project here, and on the next page.
