When building an aircraft model, that will usually sit on its wheels, it can be tempting to skimp on details on the underside, but I didn't on the YF-23. The shapes were particularly challenging. An excruciatingly difficult bit to build was the forward fuselage; a particular difficulty was finding enough space for the nosegear, underneath a cockpit housing a minifig pilot. My solution involved using a minifig chair mounted with its back serving as the actual seat. The space I gained by it…

The F-35 B has become an integral part of ZEUS' air forces, and is still serving with the USMC and Royal Navy. Meanwhile, the A and C variants have been phased out of USAF and USN service, having been replaced by the F-29 Phoenix multi role fighter.

After lots of hours tinkering, this is F-16 landing gear version umpteen. I made major changes. In the version I posted a few days ago, the drag braces (the diagonal bits with the finger hinges) were attached to the roof of the undercarriage bay. On the real aircraft, they're attached to the keel, however, so this is something I wanted to rectify.

In a few weeks, I'll be displaying some of my experimental aircraft models in the UK. To add a little more detail to the display, I decided to build some more items of ground equipment to accompany the planes; in this case a cart with a YF-119 jet engine. The USAF's Advanced Tactical Fighter program, in the late eighties / early nineties wasn't solely a competition between two fighter designs, the YF-22 and YF-23, but also between engines. The Pratt & Whitney YF-119 was the winning the…
