Far Out, Far East!
The Chinese made Shenyang J-8II, high speed, high altitude interceptor fighter aircraft.
The kit presents a J-8II in PLAAF service, #81992 involved in a mid-air collision with a USN EP-3E in the skies over the South China Sea in 2001, event better known as the Hainan Island Incident.
Trumpeter's 1:48 version of the J-8II.
Great job as usual. Congratulations :)
ReplyDeleteThis one reminds me the Su-15 Flagon from USSR
Best regards
Thanks a lot H
ReplyDeleteIt was a very pleasant build and I've enjoyed working with white camo, since it requires a slightly different approach.
And oh yes, this is a very interesting looking plane. It has a lot of MiG-23 elements too, like the intakes and the canopy... and it's a huuge plane, twice the size of a MiG-21 :)
First class, mate, first class! I hope I'll be able to bring mine to similar level.
ReplyDeleteThanks Seb.
ReplyDeleteI have zero doubts about you making it like that or even better ;)
