Peter, that looks really really good! Amongst the most realistic weathering I've seen.

Just the 'how you did it' would be nice now

Well if we and the electronics don't make mistakes it should not be any problem to fly a 'piece of art' . By the way, this is not mine... it is a A version for a client. The maiden is not far away I think.
Soon the BM will be back on the screen .

I really like the scalejets f-16 just cost more than I am willing to spend on f-16

This would be nice for in the 16, but it is in the testing fase.

what would the advantages of this be ? it seems like a lot of extra weight to replace what we already have available. would the rpm be lower to reduce fuel usage so the take off weight could stay the same?

Awesome Peter! Your weathering job looks fantastic. Would you mind sharing some of your finishing techniques or at least point us mortals in the right direction? I appreciate the extra mile you have done with the scale accuracy with this model, watching with interest!!

This is an amazing job Peter.

Congratulations. Will the owner compete in JWM? Guess will be way over 20Kg, right?

Merry Christmas
