If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Missile work

Backdating a pair of AIM-54 Phoenix to AIM-47 Falcons.  More rounded nose and extended chines on the Falcon.  Stock Phoenix in white for reference. 

AIM-4 Falcon, AIM-47 Falcons and AIR-2 Genies, just waiting for some pesky Badgers, Bears, & Bisons

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Nice work with the AIM-47s, not a direct copy of the real thing so they must be the B or C variant.  :thumbsup:

Was actually going to go with the proposed folding fin B variant but they turned out poorly, so hacked them off and scratching up AIM-74A fins,

Have to agree, those missiles are going to give it a very specific "look"  :thumbsup:

OK, looking more like AIM-47's now 

Phoenix with yellow stripe for reference.  Ignore the Sidewinder.

Main scheme going on

Gloss Air Defense Gray, with a few of subtle shade differences on the inboard ailerons and wing tips, and subdued "no-walk" lines.

first try with water based Mission Models paint (Aircraft Gloss Gray Federal Standard 16473 .  Straight from the bottle via my old Paashe airbrush. I like the paint brand.  Over-sprayed the black no walk lines to tone them down a bit.   

Flat black on the radome and anti glare on the nacelles.
