The article said the Marines added an external tank to increase range.

Yes, the mains are taller, this compensates for the extra height of the Sea Scan RADAR.

I've worked on her as my schedule allows. Got to the same point in assembly as the last one, though the fuselage halves actually fit pretty well this time. A little squeezing and some CA on the rear/upper half. There is a bit of a gap on the lower wing/fuselage junction, otherwise a good fit, Still debating what I will put on the pylons, hellfires on the outer pylons for sure. Inner pylons, not so sure.

I'll take some when I open the box. 4-bladed prop. Winglets (like on commercial airliners) New nose section. Taller landing gear 2 sensor pods Sea Scanner RADAR and pylon. I'll use the props/hub and haven't decided what other parts I will use.

I was curious if the WC's had the same issue. -

Just the MC's? Love the build so far. Especially the HUD's as I will eventually have to make some for my J model. -
Nice. Do you 3D print your resin parts?

This is the link (from 2020) I found saying the MQ-9 was getting upgraded. https://www.shephardmedia.com/news/uv-online/air-national-guard-upgrade-mq-9s/ This is from the Northrop-Grumman webpage stating the pod is flying on reapers: https://www.northropgrumman.com/what-we-do/air/litening-advanced-targeting-pod I found a bunch of other photos looking for my original links last night. This (2015) shows an AF Reaper with a larger external tank than the one @ST0RM posted. http://rpdefense.over-blog.com/2015/09/u-s-air-force-fields-mq-9-r

No idea why, saw an article that said block 10 through 50 were modified to carry the pod.
-
I am building the Kinetic kit and want to do a different loadout. I know they can carry/use the LITENING pod, and have tested AIM-9's. Does anyone know if they have external tanks for them? any photo's?
-
I started with a new kit. The BAM pieces dropped in with minimal work. I'll post pics in a bit.
-
White box version came into one of my local stores. Great quality again. Little pricey for me (retail version is going to go for $115.00), but a nice kit.

I missed your talk in San Marcos (conflicting meetings). Will you have the chance to give it again in Madison? -

Search the site for Eldorado Canyon, there is a youtube link in a thread that should give you the answers you seek. -
My A-10 arrived, looks legit, we'll see when I start building it.

Finished last Friday Revell/Monogram F-9F-5 Panther. I used kit decals and the 2022 IPMS National decal sheet. I built it as the Royce William replacement jet, with two MiG kill markings. Sadly, it's a tail sitter. I filled the nose in with bb's but that wasn't enough.

Nice.
