How's the kit overall? Any issues with fitting or anything else?
And I really like your painting and details. Great build.

Nice start.

Mine is still sitting in the box waiting for the mythical 'free-time bird' to drop by...

Couple of questions, are you adding the outer wing pylons from Zactomodels?
It seems Trumpeter 'forgot' them. They are included in the box art, and have drill locations inside the wings but the pylons are not in the kit.

I got mypylons while the kit was still on order. It's the first time I bought the aftermarket BEFORE I bought the base kit!


The At missiles (Vikyr? that does not look right..) are they mounted on the standard 25?
I thought I had read they were,like a lot of the cooler looking ordinance included in the box, not generally mounted. But I could be mistaken.

Looking forward to seeing yours finished and still toying with the idea of building mine with one half as frog smashing scheme and half operational in Afghanistan..but it's still in the planning stages.

spoilers in the link as the folks over on ARC pick the kit to little bitty pieces even before it is released.
I still bought one and will build it as is from the box, adding the pylons

The overal fit is good but check reference when putting the airscoops in place.
The only big gap i have found,where the engine nacels meet the feusalage.

The outher pylons are not in the kit.
The flare dispenders are in the kit but not mentiond on the instructions.

Sorry for my bad english

Your English is 1000% better than my Flemish or French so please don't apologise.

I have this kit is my stash and it is slowly rising to the top of the pile. Just 500 or so to go before I get to it!

Mooi gedaan, is de camouflage volgens de handleiding of zelfgekozen? Lijkt wel Zweeds, met die scherpe randen.

What they're actually saying is that the camouflage would fancy a cup of coffee in Ukraine, I think
