Collin Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Just a cool shot: Everyone loves some Hummer weathering: Dirty and multi-grey nose (pizza box has seen better days): Dirty Topside: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave1089 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Great pictures. Giving me so many ideas for my next E/F builds. I've noted the AIM-120's are being carried on the fuselage shoulder stations now. Think I also seen one being carried on one of the outer wing stations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shion Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 not weathered, but very strange markings. Non usual Felix, non usual modex: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Kind of looks like a mix of Tomcatters and Gladiators. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Collin Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Nice nose job (notice the touched up peel on the tip of the nose: CAG bird is a touch cleaner than normal: The elusive rainbow glow of the canopy: and finally....for those with the Academy 1/48 CH-53 in the stash that would love to build it but no room for it (love this weathering): Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Taken a while back in Mosul, Iraq. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whiskey Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I thought this was just waaaaayyyy to cool to pass up sharing on here.... And this pretty neat shot of an AIM-9 you don't see very often Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shion Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Differents notes about this photo: - freshly repainted modex. - fresh Dark ghost grey and ghost grey, and weathered counterparts. - square and rectangular paint touchups - bomb markings - gun gas stains - oily hands and fingers stains - weathered 'til the primer antenna Weathering everywhere!

Slartibartfast Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Should I be surprised they weren't gigged for painting mission marks over the cocarde? And that's a nice gloss on the modex. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skyhawk174 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Collin those are just great shots. Thanks for sharing. I especially like the LGB shot. I also thought it was interesting that the colour of the deck in your last shot is so light. I know it must be the sun. I believe the deck is sort of asphalt right? So I would assume it would be black but looks like not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finn Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 A couple more: same AV-8B, different angles, and probably camera exposures: Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites
