Major Kong Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 It was looking forlorn on my shelf so I figured it was about time I built this humble kit. Sanded off all the panel lines and personally I really don't miss them. Pretty much out of the box. Caracal decals, AIM-9Ms from Hasegawa, some Mike Grant decals on the instrument panel and a Master Model pitot tube. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Exhausted Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 The lack of panel lines looks very realistic! Nice work on it. Is the EGA decal realistic on that particular bird? It seems exhaust grunge would cover it after some flight hours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Major Kong Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 A little artistic license with the EGA. It was used on the CO's plane (modex 1) but not on this one. I built this as a present for my sweetheart (who was a Marine as well) so I decided to keep it clean (no weathering) and slapped on the EGA because it looked cool.

KursadA Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Very nice, I think the Monogram kit is a beauty even though it's bit old. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Major Kong Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) Yeah, we were both jarheads at NAB Little Creek, VA in the late 70's. The AV-8B was still a few years off, that's why I did the "A" for her. Very cool you working on them. R u both Marines?
