It certainly lives up to its ASCC codename...

Very nice model, with an excellent NMF. Okay, so it ain't "arty", but OTOH it's obviously been polished up for display to the admiring proletariat (and a few imperialist spies, no doubt ;-)). Would like to see it with a few of its contemporaries and/or ancestors, just to give it some historical context, and also to show just how big the beast is.

Again, great work.

A beautiful model of a pig ugly aircraft. And they said the F4 was no looker. I have to admit though. looking at your model makes me want one.

All the best.
