Bulldog 09 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) Finished this build up yesterday at a little past 4 in the afternoon. This has taken a little over three years to build. It is comprised of parts from four kits (2 Academy, 1 Hasegawa, and 1 HobbyBoss), after market sets from CMK & Eduards, and a total of 1200+ scratch built pieces. None of this would have been possible without the outstanding custom decals from Joseph Osborn, invaluable technical advice and reference material from Jon Bernstein (Cobrahistorian), Tony Morgan (RotorheadTX), and the US Army. So I'll shut up now and post the photos.

Emil I have a 1/48 TA-4J from Classic AirFrames I am starting now. It is a commission build for a gentlemen that was a maintainer for VT-22, but after that maybe a CF-18 with Tiger Stripes.
