QuoteEddie, are you still gonna put the warthog face decals on her?

Yes I am. A couple of friends over at FSM made some decals for me. I hope I don't screw them up!

Here's what they look like.

Armament is going on now. I'm kinda bummed because the Maverick racks are wider than I planned on and now I'm going to have a hard time hanging the sidewinders and am having to ditch the Hellfires.

It still looks like it packs a punch, so I guess I can live with the changes.

Dang, that is one mean and nasty hog, Eddie. You can fly CAS for my tiltrotors any day of the week, and twice on Sundays!

Thanks LemonJello!
You and I go way back with What If Warthogs and I really appreciate your comments. B)

Damn, Eddie, I can just hear the theme from Jaws as one of those swings into an attack run on it's target, esp. if they're flying nap of the earth and the target doesn't know they're coming.

Wow I'd hate to see that monster bearing down on me, Eddie! Beyond intimidating!

Those Hogs decals will fit nicely to this monster

Talebans are already scared by stocks A-10A ("spitting witches") I just can't imagine the impact of your machine on thier (warped) minds...

The smaller pieces ( gear doors) are coming together along with adding some Sidewinders to the mix.

Just going through half a year's worth of catch-up and came across all the progress you made on this masterpiece, Eddie.

Did you ever get it clearcoated and/or dEEcalled???

Earlier in the thread, someone else said it best: "The Whiff of 2007"

:jawdrop: :ill: (with envy)

Truly wicked. I would second that nomination for "Whiff of 2007".

Funny you should mention it. I did, finally, get up the nerve to fix the problem I was having and do a trial run of the Hog face. To be honest, since I tend to be a bit critical of my own work, I am not completely happy with the results. So, now I have to decide on whether to use the decals that were custom made for me or try something different. Tell me what y'all think....

Um, why wouldn't you use those decals, Eddie?
Are these the kind of homemade decals where you have to cut very close to the printed image?

Yes they are. Even though I coated the decals with clear coat, when I cut the decals out and put them in water, some of the ink bleeds out. Maybe I'm being too picky.... :dum: From a distance they look okay. I used the sharpest blade I could find and still couldn't get as close as I needed without ruining the image.
