A closeup, you can just make out the HUD display!!

Canopy down...

Ground crew view.

The tailcone ribbing adds alot to the finished appearance, you can just make out the afterburners inside - its too bad, but with the naked eye you can see quite a lot and what a great job Hasegawa did with them.

With all that power, better sweep back the wings before they tear off!

Magnet power!!

The fast packs...

Another one of my favourites

Rear view

I love how canted the rear "vertical" stabilizers are!

A little truer colours.

Maybe if there was a way to hinge the flaps - I didn't want the flaps down since I wanted to swing the wings in or out, but this view begs for the flaps to be down.

Ah, this exposure shows off some of the weathering a bit better.

I'd love to see any photoshoped magic...

There ya go - the requested side view.

Roy's looking right at us!

One of my favourites!

I thought the grey background is better than a white one for a white bird.

Catapult ready...

Head on!!

Close up...

Now for the walkaround...

Hi all, Thanks for all the input and feedback - it really helped. As promised, the first sunny day, I went out and took some proper photos of my latest bird. I feel as though this is the best yet. Its always nice to look back and see that you're improving. The sun was a bit bright, and some of the weathering is a bit washed out - it looks a bit greyer and darker in real life, but it is essentially a white plane - even though its a really light grey - only the nose cone and flaps are pure white. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did sharing and building it.
