        I don't see it...

        Looking at the HTML source, the photo is from this URL (I added spacing to make it show up):

        http:// www. worldaffairsboard. com /attachments/modelers-corner/10205d1207364252-7th-modelers-contest-fighter-jets-mig-29s.jpg

        Perhaps this image won't show for some reason? I could go to that URL directly and pull it up, so maybe my browser is just messing with me ^^;;;

        EDIT: By the way, the paint job on the F-15 is AMAZING.

          In case someone missed too, you need to by logged to see it. At least it happened to me.

          Great F 15 :)

            That must be it! When I first came to the page, I wasn't logged in yet, and then after I logged in, my locally cached copy of the page probably prevented me from seeing the MiG.

              maybe it's the photography, but the F-15 looks better to me...sorry Texas.:)

                Yeah i think the photo angles and lighting make it very hard for the fulcrum. I voted for the fulcrum because it any russian jet looks awesome, even though the F15 had a better paint job and was more detailed.

                    For me it was all on the paint, and detail. The F-15 looked as if it could be enlarge and added to a flight line, the other looked as if somebody, splashed paint on a model of an air plane.

                    Detail and paint can make or break a model.

                      Some would say that paint is the model ^_^

                          Very true. The model is 20 years old and back then, I had no airbrush !!

                          Nord is an example of what an airbrush can do with the right man!:)

                            Ah, that explains a lot. I did vote for Nord, but I want you to know that I liked your MiG, too.

                            I don't know much about modeling. Is it possible for you to re-paint that, should you choose to? Well, I suppose one would build another rather than re-painting...
