Ralph,

Very nicely done (again)! You've used limited but helpful SNOT techniches and
come away with a great model. The nose especially is just beautifully done, and
I like the missile designs. And you've clearly come up wotha very smooth way to
fold in the landing gear - I remember how hard is was to pull off.

My only suggestion might be to try to smooth out the lines and get rid of some
studs. Because the aircraft is all one color and the area on top of the
wing/fuselage is all one big flat area, the studs are noticeable a lot more than
in some of your other models (BTW I really like how you did the camo on your
other planes).

You could replace bricks with tiles in a few places (for instance on top of he
sloped air intakes), and slopes in a few places (for example on the front of the
nose, instead of staggered plates).

All in all, a terrific addition to your already impressive BS gallery!

cheers

Magnus

Hi Magnus,
I myself don't really mind the studs, but indeed, replacing plates with tiles on
the intakes would probably look good. I'll see whether I can find the right
parts. As I wrote in another message in this thread, the nose was troublesome. I
triesd slopes, but that didn't really look good either. Expect me to tinker with
this in the near future.

Thanks for the compliments,
Ralph
