G'day Gang,

Thanks for your thoughts.

Jeff, the camo was brushpainted.  Took a few days all up, but the end result turned out ok.

Wow...for some reason I've been missing this thread for some time.  Some great stuff popping up here. 

My favorite is the Arado.

The Arado and the Jag.

Wow, That's a lot of patience! I can't do something like that unless I do it all at once, otherwise by the time I finish, the pattern at the stopping point looks nothing like the starting point. This is why I asked if it was markers, because I thought it might be quicker (my lazyness might be showing through here) either way nice work.

G'day Gang,

Here's my first entry into the Profile GB, namely an RN Bug.  It uses the woeful Hasegawa 72nd scale Hornet as a basis and in typical Hasegawa style, the moulds are from the original early 80s "TF-18A" release although this particular boxing was (allegedly) the F/A-18D of the USMC.  An extra sprue and new decals, suffice to say I'm no fan.

That's a great looking Bug there Mav! Few things spice up an aircraft like Royal Navy markings! That load-out is very intimidating and just the thing to make any foe require a change of drawers.

Excellent work!

Nice bug loadout MAV, I love your build for flying sorcery.

G'day Gang,

Thanks for your thoughts.

Here's another entry for the Profiles GB, namely a JASDF FV-8J Harrier.

Mav those are sweet builds!!!

Matra's & iron bombs on a Hornet, you gone all luddite on us Mav???  Seriously, it's a convincing load out on a RN machine.

I like the Harrier too.  Could you take an outdoor shot so we can see her in her full glory?

[Maverick]

G'day Gang,

Thanks for your thoughts.

Simon, the FFAR/Dumb bomb combo was a Falklands inspired one.  The build was to be of that era and the loadout seemed a logical choice for the FAA.  As for the JASDF Harrier, I sometimes don't use the flash on the camera as it tends to wash out the colours of a build and the Harrier was one of those.

Anyhoo, I've completed the A-14C for the Profile GB and present it here.  Another detail shot is over on the Completed Builds thread and my own 'Proposed builds' thread

Now that's what I call a load-out! Excellent work as always, Mav! It's a treat to see you post your latest!

G'day Gang,

Glad you liked the build Brian!

Anyhoo, here's the latest entry for the Profile GB.  It's a 72nd scale Fujimi F7U twin-tubbed for the Corps.

Mav
