Looking good. Keep up the good work. We we really need is sub mm workers to spray on all those "No Step" markers.

Hi Mark

Thanks again for your comment. The "No Step" markings is a crossed out foot stamp (do not know how to explain it, it is just graphical no words written) .. so you can imagine, that it is problematic in which direction the foot has to point. I found one photo where I can guess it is either pointing left or right (not too the front or back) ...

as for sub-mm: just a demo why I push this since a few days....



and this is just a fraction of all the decals .....




all the best

Hi Steffen

Any luck figuring out which way the footsteps point?

The model looks really good in its low-vis scheme.

All the best

Hi Rowan

Well, I decided I will put them on like they are on the sheet above (No.37 all facing right) ... for the moment I am a bit tired of decals and started another project (teaser in the F-5E thread). BTW I also found a pic of the weapon and I did the right thing. Sadly I cannot find it right now. The look of the kitpart is o.k. when you drill out the front...

I hope I can finish the Tiger II over the weekend and progress a bit with the next jet. Somhow I should fit in some projects for the campaigns I signed, but I am happy with the "suck'n'blow"-thingies for the moment so I stick with those. Nonetheless I have put the I-16 t.17 aside as I remember this was a pleasant project ....sadly I did not find a pic of "white 28" yet else it would be a nice candidate for "Aces II". And I am also working on some "lost" projects (easy ones) ... so there will be more modelling from my end but not neccessarily Pakistani Thunder ... we'll see.

Thanks for your comment!

all the best

Hi Steffen

LOL! I was only thinking this afternoon "At this rate, 2010 could be the year Steffen never sticks a propeller on anything!"

All the best

Many thanks Joe!

though I miss the point why you credit Mark?

BTW I also have the Trumpeter J-10 with Dreammodel PE... when I have some spare budget I will also try to get the Broco J-10S for comparison.

all the best

Yeah, all I did was look at the pictures and make comments.

Many Thanks Guys!!!

I try to resume this build when I am done with the Ethiopian F-5E (just the missiles and some small parts left to add on that one).

all the best
