Splendid model from Chris, and a good build on your part. You did it better than I did any of mine, so I am not in position to give you advice. I am going to do it anyway.- Build more models, and your skills will improve.
- Give others advice, so they can learn from your experience.
- Do not stop making models from time to time. In this day and age of constant staring at computer screen, it is a therapeutic experience.

In this wonderful forum there are some non-native English speaking users ( i'm Italian ). So your English language is perfectly understandable. At least for us. Also Permes and Pavaro are two Polish guys. Ciao!

It looks very good there radoslawkamil!!! I put one together in one evening while I was taking a break from doing a Shellendrek manor build. I had some trouble with the landing gear myself, so I decided to make it in flight. Keep up the good work and show off more of your builds when you finish them, We look forward to seeing your works!

Thanks again. Yes i have problem with landing gear too, but i dont give up and decide to make another model with landing gear The problem was small glue places and I was worry if that support the weithg of model but it was ok. And one more problem was that fighter have engines in back, and landing gear is flat like for heli or some VTOL designs. I was thinking to make some weels instead of flat gear but maybe some day. Or maybe this figher can some way start and land like helicopters ?

For me, my assumption was that this fighter would be launched in space and therefore had landing bays in vacuum. It really reminds me of the 1980's Battlestar Galactica fighters that were launched from tubes, but I can see where the wheels would be needed if this were an atmospheric fighter. All in all, I think it just comes down to a personal preference of what you want to see built, so kudos to you1

Whisper31 I am sure you can make landing gear correct. I use OLFA scalpel to cut small parts and scoring every folding line. I learn everything from this: www.davesgames.net/papercraft/pdf/Paper-Modeling-Guide-DGMPMG01.pdf I am learning from this guide and It best I find so far. It learn my how to scoring, edgeing etc. Before i have no idea there are technics like this and they really work and make models look better.

I'm so used to seeing X-wings, Puddle Jumpers, NSEA shuttles and Star Trek shuttles land without wheels, it doesn't bother me

Vermin King I think is because weels are harder to make I dont like Star Trek models. Main ship from ST is in my opinion the worst looking ship in history of sci-fi.

Papercraft Warrior stood in disbelief as he read the Radoslaw's post. The computer screen starred back at him, the words still bright as when they were posted. How could he not realize?He rushed out of the apartment, taking the car keys out of his pocket. City noise engulfed his ears as he run to the parked car. There is still time.Fingers shaking as he handled the phone, he dialed the fool's number. Headlight flashed in his eyes while he drive left and right, fighting with the staring wheel with one hand. He imagined Radoslaw sitting in his home, surprise on his face as the phone starts to ring, foreign number on Caller ID. Pick it up if you want to live."Hello?" the dumbfounded voice sounded through the speaker, Papercraft Warrior sighing in relief. I am not too late."Get out of your apartment at this instant," struggling with his voice, he hoped the Pole will not cut the connection. A short silence ensued, before the man answered him. "Who is this?" "I am someone who does not wish you ill," the Papercraft Warrior spouted in one breath, "You should be careful what you say online." You should have known better."Is this a joke?" "Unfortunately, it is not." Beads of sweat went down the Papercraft Warriors forehead, great distances separating him from the man he wished to save, "You need to hurry, they are coming to get you." The ringing sound echoed through the speaker, "I have to go," the Pole's voice joined the ringing, "there is someone at my door." "Don't open," the Papercraft Warrior bulged his eyes as he made a sharp turn to go around the slow truck in front of him, "that is what I am trying to tell you." Do you wish to die?From the other end of the line, the static answered.

I think Papercraft Warrior is making a joke about how "some people" are very devoted Star Trek fans and could be get upset, even murderous if you call their favourite ships "ugly." Papercraft Warrior himself seems to have a good sense of humour about it, and apparently a gift for thriller writing.
