This thing is massive and cockpit is just very well detailed. For nose weight i used 3 3/8 and one 5/16 nuts. 1/48 F-23 nose gear solved. Cut oleo from the main strut. Drilled hole through strut,oleo and tire. Yes a drill bit was sacrificed . I cut the drill and used it as the pin. So there is a little pin sticking out in between the strut and tire. Pin is 3/4 in the strut. So now the nose gear is solid . Only took fifteen minutes to do 🙂

Its small nut 3/8 and 5/16. If you dont add weight it will sit on its tail.

I'll definitely be following this one Brian. I've watched a couple of documentaries recently about yf-22 and the yf-23 prototypes. It seems the general concensus was that the yf-23 was a much faster, stealthier aircraft. However the yf-22 was more manoeuvreable and ultimately cheaper to put into production.
Which one will you be modelling, the grey ghost or the black widow 2?
