Collin Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Dirty bird. Interesting maint/touch up painting on the flaps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackMan Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Man, Collin...you could make serious money publishing all these photos in a coffee-table type of photo-book. Your pictures are awesome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Collin Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 Not my photos....they are the Navy's. I'm just pushing them here to make it easier for modelers like us to find, plus it's a cool subject (heavily weathered Navy subjects seem to be popular).

Finn Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Here are couple more, sorry Collin : note the chunk missing on the inboard side by the leading edge slat: Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like after years of 500 (or fewer) pounds per warhead, the campaign against ISIS (I'm presuming this is where these are going) is bringing the larger ordnance back - witness the GBU-31s seen on A-10s recently as well.

JackMan Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I really like the JDAM load-outs. Great idea for my future Hornet build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

picknpluck Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 That settles it: VFA-213 motif for the Hasegawa F in my stash and this load out. Furball sheet on the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Finn Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 The wings may be clean: but the fuselage not so much: note the two AIM-9s as part of the load, no doubt due to recent air to air threats. Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 ^ Nicely asymmetric load-out, too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave1089 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Brilliant pictures. 10x GBU-32s on the menu for my next F/A-18F build! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Collin Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) The refueling probe doors are coming off. Adds some color to your builds. Edited July 11, 2017 by Collin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
