Recommended Posts

And then it was finished ...well more or less at least.

I hve no weapons loaded yet since I´m out of AMRAAMS :P I´ll remedy that at a later point with a Gawa weapon set.

For now you´ll have to do with these pictures :D

It was a rather nice build and OK decals...I might get back to this machine loaded with some Aires resin at some point :D

Here´s the WIP thread : http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=232167&st=0

Well for now...here´s the pics!

Thanx Mike and Dndieje :D

For those interested I can mention that my NIkon D3100 is now officially deflowered in my photostudio (my newest toy. The pics are taken from a tripod stand in pretty low light with covered desklamps as lighting, 2.5 to 3 second shutter time at f22 and f26 and ISO 200 with a timed trigger at 2 seconds (don´t have a remote trigger yet...next on my wish list)

Fantastic job, I could only wish to do such quality work on my models and the WIP was a pleasure to follow.

However, I would ammend your topic title as Jolly Rogers are now VFA-103. Although IMHO VF-84 is the only true number for JR.

Impressive! And finished in the best Navy markings ever to fly off a carrier!

Supersnyggt! Ge dig en stor klapp på axeln! Det förtjänar du, helt klart.

Great job Janne! Again :D

May I ask why did you position the horizontal stabilizers like you did? I would expect them to be angled opposite on parked aircraft, with the trailing edge lower... well at least it's like that on most aircraft...

That is an awesome job. Love the weathering.

Thank you Captain :D

Beauty. Beats the hell outta mine. lol

A weathered beast is a good beast.
