Well I think I have been on this forum for almost a year if not longer but it's really getting me into other subjects that I really would not have thought of doing. I would comment to my wife I wish I could do a tank like that or a particular aircraft ( through here though I have found lots of tips and still while doing other projects my mind is racing to the next... Aghhh


Right currantly im involved in the GB modern jets build and I'm thinking to my next Jet ( I never built jets before but I'm really enjoying my J10


So what's next


1/48 F16


1/48 F22 Raptor


1/48 Mig 29


1/48 Su34


1/48 F15/F14 eagle ( or is it tomcat)


I'll still be doing my other projects ( WW1 dio ) WW2 dio


Can anyone suggest a good 1/48 Jet fighter kit ?


Open to suggestions


Regards


Robert

I don't know much about modern jets Rob, but I'd definitely say to avoid the Revell 1/48 "Black Tomcat". It's moulded in black plastic, which is almost as bad as white plastic, has raised panel lines & is a bugger to build.


The reason I warn you is that it often appears at a cheap price on eBay

I see youve got the f16 at the top of the list robert, i know the newTamiya 1/48 kit is supposed to be superb , if a little pricey . cheers tony

I hear rave reviews about the Eduard 1/48 Mig-21, I have three in my stash and can't wait to get started in the Mig-21 GB later this year.

Hi Robert.


I built this kit a few years back and really enjoyed it.

Just looked at this kit and seems it has a few possible upgrades, did you think it needs any?


Were there any fit issues?


I've seen some nice possible decals if I go for this

I don't remember any fit issues.


I just built it out of the box.
