Not much to report but first coat of paint is on....switched over to USAF scheme as the Marines green is bringing back bad memories of Japanese aircraft :-\.





I've shortened the canards, reasoning that a short length of fuselage with elevators at front would require less force and area to have effect. She'll probably have a couple of Shrikes but a profusion of ECM equipment.... ;D

Now that almost looks like a shot from a modern production line where they've used different coloured primers  :thumbsup: Don't think they use Tamiya tape though  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Essentially complete, less armament. Varnishing in progress and a couple exploratory decals...should be complete tomorrow:







Too many ECM lumps and bumps :rolleyes:?

Needs a bunch of antenna of every description. This is very original, I love it!

All-Weather COIN/COIN-ECM-Support - the more sensor & ECM bumps & antennae the better! :thumbsup:

Well she's finished. Lots of ECM, two shrikes and a HARM. A 20mm in the port root for self defence. I think the plan is she goes in with the A-25Ks etc to help jam and attack the increasingly powerful SAM threat. Heat seeker SAMs are another matter.... ;).









Got to take the family to the Costa Brava now so see you all in a coupla weeks with perhaps the Gunship ;D.

Very nice! Very nice, indeed! :thumbsup:

Amazing, and such a fast build too!  :thumbsup: :bow:
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! :)

Delicious shame, confirmed on the finished model :wub:

Another slight upgrade. Didn't like the vertical stabs so I've lowered them and added 20 and 40 shot flare tubes :
