Because I'm greedy like that. I think I should start an 1/144 Area 88 project except I'll need properly resized decals. I'll see about contacting Samueldecal about that. I would have wanted to paint the F-5E in Shin's colors at least but he pilots a Tigershark, and I've yet to acquire a kit of that from Mini Hobby Models.
I also have an incoming Saab Draken which I plan on painting in Shin's colors and a PAK FA kit, both made in 1/144 scale by Pit-Road. Probably the most expensive plane kits I've ordered in this scale.
I did finish something at least:
My 1/144 Nothrop-Mcdonell Douglas YF-23 Black Widow II (PAV 2 colors) is done and mounted on a snazzy wood frame diorama, and I'll get around to posting the model pics (with corrected USAF markings) soon.
and I'm also in the process of finishing this guy:
This little pain in the ass kit is from Academy. It's their old 1/144 Panavia Tornado. I think this was good practice for me to get used to building swing-wing kits, so I don't mess up on the Tomcat. In retrospect it was pretty right for me to have picked up both on a visit to the hobby shop (just to buy glue!).
ah nuts, guess that backlog clearing will be a long way off but I hope to make some progress this year. or at the very least have some new shelves installed to house my Jet kits.

From Gunpla to model planes! Haha! These are awesome; my grandfather loves model planes and I showed some of your stuff to him. He's impressed!
