Bonsoir à tous, Good evening everyone,

Taking advantage of the fact that I'm stuck at home till Wednesday night, I continued painting the F/A-20N which consists of white trains and H53 gear doors and various towers payload. The selected configuration is: 2x2 GBU-12 + LANTIRN pod, 2x AIM-9 and 2x AIM-120 (or 4x), phony sharp ventral
Some pictures:

Following tomorrow, normally

Quite interesting work. Thank you for sharing it with us. By the way, I use to drive a flightdeck tractor like that w/ the huffer unit on the back before I got a promotion to Crash & Salvage. We use to use the huffer to stay warm in really cold weather.

Wow....great idea, and looking good so far. Love the base.
