The seat was refined somewhat, with the addition of seat belts! |
The rest of these photos show the finished model. The model is now ten
years old, and still looks like new. I used some Micro Scale decals, and
used the kit decal for "Republic XF-91."
I spent nearly 1,600 hours building this model! Too much time on one
model, but I have a super-duper model! On several occasions I displayed
the model at contests, with the kit model. My display notes said:
"This is the kit, and this is what you can do to it." YES! It was a
show stopper, and won a few awards like first place, best jet, and first place
in Miami, Florida at the IPMS/USA NATIONAL CONVENTION IN 1990.

As all of you know, I use to build models for clients. This model was for
me, but it's for sale at a mere $10,000.00 U.S. A lot of money for a
model; (Right ?). But not much money per hour; (Right?). I've sold a
few models for more than the quoted price above!
P.S. To many of my modeling friends, they say: "We know
Rodney." "Sand down to 2,000 grit, paint it with "S n J" trim it out with
Tamiya!" They are right, as that's what I do best!

Happy modeling, and hope you like the review of the XF-91.
