FighterControl

Hi

First one for the year and one I didnt really enjoy for some reason , time for a break/change maybe

The Trumpeter AV-8B+ finished in the new FS36118 Gunship Grey and FS35237 Blue Grey using Leatherneck decals and an Airies cockpit .Kit is OK ish needed a few airscoop mods along with making the underwing stores fit , the attachment points on the pylons are no where near the holes in the weapons , not difficult but annoying . Airies cockpit needed a lot of filing and fettling to make it fit , then came the decals , for the new scheme they should be in the opposite greys which they are , but , the give you no intake/stenciling so had to use kit decals , not happy with it but it will have to do

All Xtracolor enamels and Alclad varnish

Thanks for looking

Paul

Have been for 60 years

Never got beyond Corydorus Julii, personally, but then we both adored all the Catfish varieties

Like you love catfish , ours keep breeding , just found 2 "new" ones this week

Now I must admit to liking any Harrier or AV-8 but that is superb Paul. It might have been ‘difficult’ and decals not to your satisfaction but that is a fine looking aircraft!
