1/72 Trumpeter 'Xian FBC-1'

I recently finished the Trumpeter 1/72 scale 'Xian FBC-1'.

This also known as JH-7 in which 'Jian' stands for Fighter & 'Hong' stands for Bomber. This twin engine & twin seater Fighter Bomber first entered into services of PLAN (Naval) in the late 80s.

This trumpeter 1/72 scale model is the only available in the market, as least up to now. We cannot say this model is accurate, in fact there are lots of 'incorrect' areas. However, the shape is marginally acceptable.

Instead of spending time to convert, I decided to build this simple & quickly to avoid an 'incomplete project'.
