weirich1 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) I can't believe how much I've glued to the lower fuselage and still have Sidewinder and pylons, TERs, Aim-7s, ECM pod, and bombs . . .

phantom Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Overall it looks good. But I suggest paiting the gear doors white with red edges as opposed to comletely red. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Here's the reason behind the red doors and struts-- It's also referenced on AOA Decals VF-143 Pukin' Dogs "Taproom 102" instruction sheet.

weirich1 Posted May 12, 2019 Author Share Posted May 12, 2019 This afternoons update-- Loaded up the belly of the beast: missiles, bombs, ECM pod; now it's ready to inflict some damage. Tires, ladder, few other pieces installed too. I would provide a picture but all that gloss white made it hard to take a decent one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
