Girls and their accessories.... Heres's a few accessories for my girl. Here's her center line drop tank. It's the original tank from the Monogram F-20 kit. I cut off the fins and rescribed a few lines, preshaded and painted.



Because I hate painting intake trunks  :-X... I made some intake covers. They are just a piece of sheet styrene with a styrene rod wrapped around it. easy and simple!



The RF-20 is used from armed reconnaissance as well as target marking. So her loadout will be for a training mission. She will have an AIM-9X, an ACMI pod and a "Shorty" targeting pod.The 9X and the ACMI pod are hasegawa. The targeting pod is mine. I while back I made a master part and molded it. This one is a resin copy. You can see in this image the brass rods used to attach to the hard point/weapon station.



QuoteToying with an idea eh..... Thumbs Up

Yeah, part of my idea is in this post  ;)

The F-20, a huge loss to the Western World. Stunning paintwork, makes mine look like a kindergarten job. Gorgeous :wub:.

I'm possibly the only person on this site to whom the F5E/F20 does nothing but I can recognise a superb model when I see one  :bow:
