discussion Completed -AA models 1/48 Chengdu J-7 E

[yak face]

Here is the AA models 1/48 Chengdu J-7E , a chinese kit of a chinese development of the Mig 21f-13. It took a little bashing to get it looking accurate (see build thread here http://www.scale-models.co.uk/community/threads/aa-models-1-48-chengdu-f-7-e.28717/ ) but came out near enough. comments ,criticisms ,observations , questions, cheques ,postal orders and cash welcome!!

I like that a lot Tony! I know how much work you put into this build & doing it in white can't have been easy.

It looks rather menacing & one of those that seems to want to leap into the blue!

It was a task and half in your build thread, the final result is stunning Tony. Awesome addition to your collection of fantastic builds.

Very nice build Tony!

I always think, that work over white colour isn't to be an easy task, and this one looks great!!

Nice one Tony, that cranked wing gives it quite a distinctive look.

Thanks everyone for the great comments , it means alot. I wasnt entirely satisfied with the photographs , I think I left the camera on Macro for some of the further away shots , but its all in the learning process!! I included a shot on a white background at the end to try and show the shading on the white paint job , the black background was making it too white and didnt really show the true colour, cheers tony

That's a nice clean build Tony I like it a lot.

Very nice Tony. I do wonder where you find these more rare, unusual kits. I don't think I've ever built anything that needed explaining ! Great work old chap.

Hey Tony

That's a fabulously finished jet with every bit of detail showing. The restraint in the finishing/weathering really has paid off, as a result you can really pick up on the detail - rivets, aerials etc etc. Outstanding work.

As an aside I'd really be interested in seeing some of your communist jets as a group.

All the best

Paul

Oh, and 5* go without saying!

Something different and nicely presented all the hardwork paid off

 

[Guest]

Nice clean build Tony, very nice!

Thanks guys , and @ Paul , yes ive often said I'd like to do a bit of a group shot of the cold war jets , I'd need a fair bit of room though as theres a couple of biggies (tu 22 m2 Backfire and Tu 22 k blinder ) and so i might have to wait for a nice still day and get them outside on the patio for the pic ! cheers tony
