Second entry...

Its all quite hush-hush for the moment till I get some work done on it...

Bug Hatchet and Brian da Basher for answers...I think its going to be smashing!!

Now with pics!

Its all in the mock up stage at the moment and I'm concentrating on building this and taking a break from the Hawk after the whole wing thing...

Mock up 1:



Mock up 2:



Mock up 3:



This is the FV-9, or other designation if you can think of a better one! A USMC A2A dedicated Harrier to cover the AV-8Bs with Aim-9s and AMRAAMS but here she shows her versatility with a pair of AGM-65s and the GAU-12/U gon pod installed for a little A2G action...

I'm still undecided on the camo scheme she'll be wearing, USMC Euro-1, early greys or AV-8B II+ greys...

HELP ME!!!!

Yowch absolutely fearsome Damian! I'm looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.

A little more done today Just trying to spice up the cockpit a bit and I'm trying to excercise scratch building skills too. Made a little map holder on the one side just to see if I could



The seat to be used for the build is an SJU-9 (MB X) from the F/A-18A, had to make the seat American and it was the only USMCish one I had I think its going to look smashing once done up and in the 'pit!

As always please feel free to comment!

A little progress...

A mock up of the nose, underside FLIR and topside IRTS system for A2A...



Full mock-up with gun pod, gasbag and a Walleye (just tinkering with the loadout)



The cockpit, I used the decals...couldn't be bothered with etch and stuff for a quick build



A look at my scratchbuilding skills, a little map holder that you can't see when the pilot is in...doh! BUT I know its there!!
