A shot from the borrowed coat hanger from the Supersylph

A shot with the older brother...

Stripped and ready for a dash!

The forward landing gear hatch is snapped in place, there are little blunt ended pegs that also fill in the rear landing gear holes - but I didn't put them in here, I think they might be hard to remove after. Its kind of wierd that there is no rear gear well - its like this in all the line art as well as the resin kit - hmm, I guess the gear magically dissappears

Even the missles come off the launch arms. Note the forward sensor array with the blue lenses.

I love that fact that all the underside stores and landing gears are removeable after construction!

Ready for the carrier!

I love this mean front on look B)

Walkaround... funny how the two tone green/grey blends under certain lighting conditions.

The missile launch arms are really detailed, and the wash really picks out the recesses - thanks for all the missile colour information.

YF-19 and Superslyph now available. Please note that old links won't work, even if you have the original thread and post numbers saved--everything's been renumbered. If you find any more, let me know and I'll incorporate them here. Thanks David so much for all your hard work - its great for me to look back on these too! Wm. Another update: Shawn has recovered a bit more of the database, and Jinnai found the Elintseeker threads. September 2007 Update: Unfortunately since the last time MW crashed, we have not re-recovered the initial older links (*) that were originally found - I hope that somebody can re-find them again.

Fantastic model David!! Where did you get such a complete decal sheet for this starship. I remember masking every blue line on my old Excelsior when I did it about 10 years ago!! Arrgh!! So are the windows drilled out or are they a decal sheet too? Great work - love to see more!
