This will be the scheme that I am finishing this X-29 in.

Decal Callout

This was a model I got as part of a vintage Airfix box set that was basically built. This is my sons Jaguar, he loves it!

This will be the base aircraft with some additional parts.

Looks good to me! I think a Rolls Royce Olympus 202 upgrade is definitely needed!

Aswell as the fuselage and wings Tiger stripes Im adding the extra yellow Tiger spine as seen on this Gripen.

And she's finished!

This is what I bought the model/toy like.

This is the E-3D Sentry Patch I have.

This is an image showing the loadout I have Selected.

I now have both Dirty Diana's in my collection!

Couldn't have turned out better!

This is how all 4 of HHrAviation's F-16BM's will be tinted.

I decided to upgrade her in many ways but the main ones are nose gear, nose gear doors, open airbrakes and new tail.

And done finally

She hasn't got a refueling port decal due to the "ESCI Incident" but I will be adding one soon.

First test fit before the start of a scratch built interior is built.

A newer photo of 285 with a newly repainted ex Swiss Hawk T.1 now in RAF 151 Squadron Red/White training scheme.

It only took a few years after thinking I'd finished to realise the leading ed of the tail needed yellowing up!

A photo before the repaint was carried out.

And a beauty shot!
