Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 (edited) Another addition to my Stealth/XST/F-117A series I did earlier this year. It was the F-117 pilots' cover story; they could truly say they flew A-7's, at least by day. It handled similarly to their "real" mount. Fujimi kit, Aires cockpit, Wolfpak decals (sadly OOP). Scratch-built "Klingon Cloaking Device" pod, one of the great military disinformation pranks of modern times 😄 Edited August 4 by Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted August 4 Author Share Posted August 4 The "Klingon Cloaking Device" was a prop created for one of the "Nighthawk Corsairs'" deployments. The rumor mill was strong that this was the unit that flew the mythical Stealth Fighters in the Nevada desert. So, they took a napalm-cannister-turned-luggage-pod and did it up with a big flashing light, false aerials, nuclear markings and a "Reactor Cooling Fill Port" marking, creating a most sinister underwing store! The idea was to say "the A-7 is the REAL stealth plane, thanks to this nuclear pod!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JackMan Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Interesting story. And you did the a great job on the Fujimi kit. Looks very good with the Aires cockpit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
