Hi everyone!
This is my recent
finished work, also my first 1/48 scale work in 15 years, the 1/48 J-10A fighter.
The fit of the
kit is good, though the panel lines and rivets are still in the traditional
Trumpeter way, big, wide and deep.
Well, it's the
problem of your tastes.
The shape problems
are all updated comparing to their early 1/72 single seat kit, so it looks much
nicer in 1/48 scale.

The aftermarket
goods I used were PE sets for J-10A and PLAAF AA missiles and resin PLAAF pilot
figure from Dream Model, the metal pitot tube and refueling tube from Edelwiss,
a
new Chinese maker, and finally the metal AL-31F engine nozzles from Motion
Emotion, also another new Chinese maker.
All the items are
easy to be found in many on-line hobby shops and Ebay.
I also add some
scratch-built details in cockpit, landing gears and improved the action of the
pilot figure, which seems to be a bit odd in the original shape.
The colours I used
are GSI Creos Mr.Color. The colour numbers are shown in the in-progress pictures.
The finished photos are taken by my
good friend Mr.Yiming Jin aka viperbite.
And the work was published on the
Taiwanese model magazine <The Power Modelling Magazine> Vol.2.
Thank you for your looking and

Cheers,
Yufei Mao
