This kit is huge I wanted to build a flanker that looked right so I used the Zactomodel nose windscreen and intake set.  Altogether the three sets cost more then the kit, but I knew that when I was done it look right . This is the second Flanker that I have built.  The first one I used the Blackbox cockpit set which I was not happy with.  So on this one I used the Aries cockpit set that is realllllly nice even though it costs a arm an leg, but its is well worth it.  I also used the Aries wheel well set that takes some time to fit bit looks good when your done.

The decals are from Lindenhill which does a nice job and gives you some background on the plane you are building and some detail the maintenance of the plane.

Painting of the plane I used ModelMaster paint and I was really pleased how it all came out.  I don't think I would want to build another Flanker anytime soon.....not because of the size...just of the cost.
