HOLY S&*T!!!!!! that beastie is beautiful. The addition of the green to the cammo scheme really did the trick. It also looks truely awsome in those SEAC markings
If you love, love without reservation; If you fight, fight without fear - THAT is the way of the warrior

If you go into battle knowing you will die, then you will live. If you go into battle hoping to live, then you will die

Thanks Lancer ;D She's not finished yet I still need some pastel work

I also have not mounted the FFAR clusters yet

I am still not happy with the pics yet either

I also still have to touch up the canopy

I'll take some more pics later :banghead:

Seriously, Toolslinger, the camo is perfect and looks like it belongs with those SEAC markings! Yet another masterpiece!

Thanks BdaB this is partially a tribute to you what with the SPATS and all. However I think that more guns would be over the top ;D :lol: :rolleyes:
So I am only going to add rockets :wacko:

Rockets are a much better choice!!!
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Your Bushmaster looks like it could turn an armored column into swiss cheese in a New York Minute!!!

And let's not forget the awesome intimidation power of those spats!

Looks good.  And that thing has some serious firepower.

We don't just embrace insanity here.  We feel it up, french kiss it and then buy it a drink.

Slinger, I think the natural light photos looked pretty good, really showed off the colors well. I also agree that the additional green enhanced the paint job and the decals really pull it all together ....the rest is just gravy......Mmmmmmm Graaavy :)

Looks the business :thumbsup:

Man with that much fire power it might just not leave the ground. :o
Get this Cheese to sick bay!

MMMM Gravy powered aircraft ;D It flies around the house just fine with all that firepower but the armor models all cringe away from it :wacko:

Once again, I'm total blown away by how it started out and where it ended up. Your combination of craftmanship and presentation is a rush for me! :bow: :wub:
Look behind you!

Rafael

IMPRESSIVE!!! :wub: :thumbsup: :bow:

Man, this is a real adventure into whiffing!!!

The colour scheme is what strikes me the most as a more than adequate camouflage, as shown in the photos taken "in the dirt". Fabulous!!!

Now that it is finished, the T-Tail arrangement looks more credible, and -I don't know why- reminds me of survivavility á la A-10 warthog, very probably a grandson of you airplane.

All in all, a wor of art and great craftsmanship.

Had I a hat, my head would be uncovered in front of you.
