gistsc Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Well after dragging my feet for three years, I have finally finished this monster. Trumpeter kit, Eduard PE sets, Quick Boost ECS vents, Wolfpack Design GBUs, Northstar wheels/tires, and Fightertown decals. Scratch built cockpit details/wiring, venting in the intakes, landing gear details, fuel panel/door, canopy/A/C power panel/door, venting on LEX, nav lights on LEX. Had to shave off the built up area on the tails where the slime lights are, both on the inner and outer tail panels. Also drilled out every rivet on the aircraft as I found them to be soft. Painted with Vallejo acrylics and finished off with VFA-143 Pukin’ Dogs decals from Fightertown. Overall satisfied with the kit, but would have liked a little more detail. The fit of the kit was very good, did not have any real issues in that department. I would recommend this kit as long as you are willing to fix the tails as that added build up where the slime lights are is just to big to overlook. 0CE34535-D77C-481C-B23B-8A01BCEEB955 by Scott Giost, on Flickr 92C7BE56-4257-4C03-A874-A6D378FD40BE by Scott Giost, on Flickr DC72F18E-C92B-4908-80F4-74189D9ACA16 by Scott Giost, on Flickr F026326D-9AEF-40AE-BBEA-ECC4BFFE5982 by Scott Giost, on Flickr AC9718F1-9999-4A67-9677-E82E10A7531F by Scott Giost, on Flickr 7DF83001-9145-489E-B9AA-8A4023E6819A by Scott Giost, on Flickr 035F1DB4-1B75-4160-B36B-02220095D40E by Scott Giost, on Flickr 6FFE3C7A-44A7-414C-B38A-49214E06CA56 by Scott Giost, on Flickr 8BAAA0C0-2F30-487D-902A-B1788B60FB87 by Scott Giost, on Flickr 1AA44992-6562-4AD7-953E-E6D143550DB0 by Scott Giost, on Flickr 5838553A-F182-4079-8B79-A94EA4F050A0 by Scott Giost, on Flickr 0765E5D7-90C5-4CBF-8BD9-711229511128 by Scott Giost, on Flickr B9904494-6ED7-4AB2-9445-94FC7F08768B by Scott Giost, on Flickr 102797E0-E4A9-4E41-A671-BDC7C2C60530 by Scott Giost, on Flickr 3A029AA9-ECB9-46CA-B228-B62054A1E296 by Scott Giost, on Flickr 69E9FABC-F248-4105-BF95-D2078FCDA764 by Scott Giost, on Flickr 5D285514-01ED-42CF-AA33-FA6CA9168E6C by Scott Giost, on Flickr 72580D00-ADFF-487D-BED6-F8F4C3CA8889 by Scott Giost, on Flickr 00DF7C49-C552-4CEA-B771-08549D943006 by Scott Giost, on Flickr 6746E98F-334A-4B34-8D8A-D18677EDC0CB by Scott Giost, on Flickr 827801CB-71D6-4481-857E-C096BB665CF6 by Scott Giost, on Flickr B30A2FE0-D5D9-4E41-9566-FD381AC51422 by Scott Giost, on Flickr Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Underdog Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Scott, Impressive looking "Super-bug," you did a very nice job on it. A lot of positive things about it, to say the least. I had to go back and double-check your introduction, because the way the decals look - I thought you might of painted them on... job well done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
