1/48 Xian JH-7 Flying Leopard

Post by DerekF »

An attempt to sell this kit on Ebay failed , then I saw Hannants had for it £4.99 so I thought I might as well keep it and build it. Terrible kit, inaccurate, lacking in detail, fits where it touches but here it is anyway. Interesting aeroplane though. Pretty big machine, about the size of an F-111 and powered by Chinese built Spey engines, called "Flounder" by NATO apparently.

Tidy looking machine. Simple paint scheme too. It's not showing up clearly on my monitor but is that a light blue or is it a dull grey?
