I did tint the canopy (Tamiya "smoke"), based off the pic I have of the real deal.
Loadout...well, it looks badass!!!
Markings...as it says on the decal instructions...the star and shark mouth were done with white chalk...so they were only there for a very brief period. I think it's just enough difference to set it apart from the standard scheme, and still be a combat/operational bird (I'n not all that into "special markings").
So what's next??? The World Wonders... :writing:

A WiP would be kinda nice and all---wondering how the Eduard 1/72nd 190 goes together... :writing:

Fermis, that F-16 turned out beautiful. I'm amazed at the amount of detail you put into such a small piece! :shoutout:
As for the man cave, I think all you need now is a nice mule deer mount and a big Rocky Mountain elk to complete it. I just got back yesterday from a quick hunting outing. I didn't have any luck this year except a couple Ruffed Grouse. I guess thats why its called hunting and not shooting. :ggun:

Much thanks!

The Elk is on the wall! I have a real nice muley rack on the wall as well...no mount though. I'd REALLY like a big caribou in velvet...B-E-A-Utiful creature! A moose would be nice too!!!

Very impressive Fermis! :bow:

I will...all things "bench" are on hold right now though. Looks like we're taking an unplanned/unscheduled trip back to Kansas. My FiL passed away this morning.

Oops, sorry I missed those, I hadn't made the picture large enough to see those! Nice!
