Stuff In Progress

Actually, I've got more than this, but they're just boring F/A-18's in various states of painting and decalling.

Up first is the creative refugee from the 1 Week GB that got stalled.  It's a naval version of the F-16, using a 1/72 Hasegawa F-2A as the base:

And here's a closer look at the nose gear.  You can also see the in progress wing fold lines I'm playing around with.


There's another one from the 1-week GB, but it's actually a JSDF GB entry, so I'll show it there.

Next is just one I thought would be neat.  It's a 1/144 Minicraft DC-8-73 with an E-3's rotodome on top.  I'm going between calling this an EC-24C or E-3 (winning that competition instead of the actual E-3).

Other ongoing builds are shown in the CG/SAR GB and the JSDF GB forums.

Go for "EC-24C", show a spot of consistency that'll drive JMN's nuts.

DC-8 AWACS, why not? Its the main competitor to the 707

That DC-8 AWACS is gorgeous
