You need help mentally too mate :lol:

Looking good! (the models, git-dangit!)
That Kiwi Crouze will be the cats own arse when it's done!

Canadian SLUF :wub:

More pictures! (>sigh< of the model &lt;_&lt; Although your wife isn't bad looking either :D )

Damn straight, Hatchet! GO KIWI!




Damian, are you using the RNZAF roundels with or without white? If you're using the high viz then would you consider sending me the leftover roundels, finflash etc? I could really do with them for my RNZAF Eagle series.



Pretty please. Seriously, I'd really love them. Please.








BTW, I can't wait to see your F8 complete!

Lo-viz is going to the F-8 and Hi-viz is going on another RNZAF project yet to be named...but it starts with "Retro" and ends with "camo'ed F-16"

But I have a secon sheet if you REALLY EALLY need some lo-viz markings :D Afterall I do want to get a Gekko Graphics stuff for my RNZAF F-16, A-4s and F-4 (possibly)

More updates!! :D

Got the F-8 intake sanded out, on both of them its not JMN smooth but it will do AND I didn't cop out with intake covers :D

First up is the A-7's intake, got the white sprayed on quite easily! Damn this new dible action AB is working its charm!!!




Here's the F-8's sucker:



Also got the IP's painted and I may apply the decals over them, the first one is the F-8's IP



And the A-7's...I think I did this one too worn...



Next stage will be building the 18 500lb bombs that will go on the CAF (CN?)  A-7 :S a task I'm not really looking forward to...

Yet another update, and its going to be kinda long :D

I got to work on the ordinance that will be gracing my two Super Suckers. On the A-7 I've gone for 2 gasbags, 2 Aim-9s and 18 Mk.82's. On the F-8, well thats another story. You see I can't seem to make my mind up so I'm asking for what you think is the best of the best below.

Keep in mind that for some of the less familar stuff I'll be comming up with a story for them, all I need you guys (and gals) to do is tell me what you think looks best :) (please note A2A Sidewinders will also be carried)

First up are four AGM-65's loaded in a slant two config, two per wing:





Next, a simple pair of 1000lb Mk.83s



A pair of GBU-24s ( big boom :D )



Here's some WW II/ Korean era 1000lb bombs...they really set me in the mind chemical/biological carrying units. Possibly riot gas to control Green Peace protestors? :P



Or how about some naplam?



Or finally a ferry load with two modified F/A-18 gasbags



There ya go please help Damian choose :D

Ok guys because you're so cool and ACTUALLY look and LEAVE comments unlike ARC at the moment (maybe I should be building a 1/32 F-16 or be called Phantomphixer or something... &lt;_&lt; )

I'd like to show you the final cockpit shots, added some more colour and whatnot to the pits...well see for yourself! :D

First up the F-8



The A-7:



And finally side by side with the seats in (temp only)

You could do a (late 1990's F-16 style) Fast CAS load with two 500 lb. LGB's under one wing and two rocket pods under the other.

The twin Mav's looks good.  If you wanted a whiffy aramament fit, how about trimming down a pair of AIM-54s into AGM-76Bs (ground attack version of AIM-47B)?
