The Strike Cat

Haven't actually touched this thing for a while now, but I got some major decalling done a couple of weeks ago. Also fixed the major paint goof on the stabs - note to self, sand uneven black paint before overpainting with another color.





The exhausts were intended to be more bronze than pale gold - I mixed the paint myself from a few drops of flat red, flat yellow and aluminium (which is just a tad dark). Should have used gunmetal and some brown instead, but oh well. It looks *sorta* nice, until you place it side by side with the "straight" B which is (one of) my current construction projects.

I'm also a little disappointed with the left hand horizontal stab - it droops, enormously. I think I'm going to have to glue it on, which I was hoping to avoid. Too bad...

As it turns out, I have absolutely no clue how to arm it, due to the immense number of possible loadouts. I've checked, and physically there's no real limit on what can go where... I'm actually debating filling the two front racks with a pair of MERs full of CBU-87s - loading them singly seems a waste, and they're the only USAF only weapon I have at the moment.

Very nice!


CBUs sounds like a great loadout!   Screw Precision Guided Munitions, make some real noise!

That's an attractive Tomcat!  You have any plans to put a LANTIRN/Pave Tack/Pave Spike on it?

Good job!!
And now, arm it with a MAXIMUM weapon's load!!!

F-15 what?
