The two newest additions to my aircraft collection, the French Rafale and
the stillborn F-20 Tigershark have been approved by the brickshelf
moderators. They can be seen here:

I'm pretty happy with how the Rafale turned out considering that it is one
of the most unconventional aircraft shapes out there. I had to cheat some
by using the double sloped parts for the intake lips but I think that
overall it was a good compromise.
I've been toying with the idea of modifying the F-5 into the F-20 for some
time and only recently got down to doing it. I've had to strech the nose
and tail sections some (the MOC is still a little short scale wise but any
more lengthening made it look funny) and the final version features a more
rounded rear section (the pictures posted on brickshelf are of an early
version) but otherwise it was a pretty easy conversion.
My next models will probably be some of the 70's era Soviet fighters like
the MiG-23 and the MiG-25. Soviet Aircraft from this era are relatively
straight foreward so they shouldn't pose too much of a problem technically
speaking.
