That is very striking, Eddie!  Does your little friend justice!

WOW! Just... WOW!

What a wonderful model, Eddie! I like the mods, camo scheme, unique markings and the little character on the tail. You've done yourself and Zoe proud!

For someone who hetes to paint you sure seem to have a knack for it. That is one sharp looking scheme you got there. Love it!!! 

[John Howling Mouse]

Absolutely fantastic creativity!

Thank you all for the encouraging comments!

Jeff,
thanks, but I really don't care for the painting part. I don't any of my paint work has turned out as I planned and I've had to adapt and overcome. This one was no exception.

neat!

did the cat on the tail come from a A-4 decal sheet? it looks similar to one in the fujimi A-4M kit. and how
did you do the national markings on this one?

Thanks! the cat thing came from the Revell Harrier with the markings for VMA-211. The national markings are the hinomaru from an old Monogram Japanese Zero. They are a maroon color and I added a some cut out stars from some stars and bars. That was the only thing that went close to plan on this build

Dude you stole my idea!  Admittedly, I was planning on turbopropping (cos it's a word haha!) my Cobra, but otherwise very similar...great minds, huh?

I'm loving that camo, and the detailing in the gun bay looks great! How did you do the vertical stab? Looks very fitting.

Another triumph! I am in awe once more!

Thanks Zac! I used a P-51 tail on this one. you can see the whole process here.
