I really like what you’ve done with this – looks nicely weathered and faded. I’ve got the 1/72 version in my stash, and recently it’s been poking it’s head up demanding attention! Only so many hours in the day…

Looks like the Pakistanis wanted an F-16 mated to a Fantan.
Nice work on this!

Nicely done. It does look like a hybrid of different designs.
