Ace Combat F2-A Kei Nagase "19th Task Force"

Post by BlackSheep214 »

Been working on this one in the past 2 weeks. Hasegawa kit, 1/72 scale. Based on the video game Ace Combat. I designated her call sign.... Centerfold (from the 80s hit song Centerfold :giggles: )

The kit...

I tossed the kit's surface to ship missiles because they were to fiddly to assemble. I reached to my 1/72 Haseagawa Missiles set and armed her with Sparrow air-to-air missiles instead. Sidewinder & sparrows painted camo Grey. Spartow tips in Armor Sand, sidewinder fins in lilac with SG black tips.

Decals are a real pain in my ass to do. The decal sheet...

Not familiar with the game but that's one heck of a decaling job! Looks great.
Thanks,

Thank you.

There are other Ace Combat kits out there..... IF you can find them. F-14 Tomcats (at least 3 different paint schemes that I know of), F-4 Phantom, F/A-18 Super Hornet, Panavia Tornado, SU-37 and others. Scalemates pulled up a search result using Ace Combat as key word.

I know the SU-37 Yellow 13 image I posted is 1/144 scale. There is one in 1/72 scale out there. That's the one I'm looking for but won't pay stupid money for it.

I never played Ace Combat either but I have played IL-2 Sturmovick and is a great game. Haven't played it in over 20 years. :grin:

This is the Yellow 13 I'm looking for...

It's not a Su-37... my mistake :bag:

Very cool! I played Ace Combat a long time ago. Crazy that it's still going strong.

Nor is it a F2A :giggles:
