I quite enjoy destroying it!

Naa I was out riding in the rain on the MX bike in between. Hot showers for the win! Added extra Lacquer thinners to the acrylics to assist it drying, then went back to playing Roguetech in between it all.

Scratching, scuffing, weathering and generally making a mess on the Urban Camo Phalanx Destroid while I wait for the paint to fail to dry in the rain storm here on The Forest Camo Defender Destroid.

I like them, especially given my wall of combat unit painted ones.

Its been a couple of years now so has anyone found a paint code or mix for the 35th Anniversary VF-1 and VF-31 from Hasegawa yet? Their printed paint codes for the blue to match the decals are a country mile off the mark and I've yet to see one built anywhere in the 35th scheme. I have 2 still waiting to be built.

yep so I can keep track of where I'm at

bit further in Middle Earth Easy enough to ship stuff round as I for for Harley Davidson.

And if anyone wants an unbuilt VF-31A I have 3 in 1/72 and 3 in 1/144

I can scan and send it tomorrow if you need it. And the artbooks are awesome but I also cut the box art out and frame that

then you'd be trying to claim the old plastic 1/72 Glaug kits are the right size... now go try to stuff your 1/72 scaled Zent soldier into it... yeah... not happening. Johns ones are the best compromise.

Meanwhile some more progress on the second Destroid of 5

Intakes for the secondary engines

More WIP projects for this week. Much to repair and clean up on this old project before I can carry on completing it! Paint damage and dust!

yep... turned in time to see the first one ping out of the peg and launch for the heavens so recovered that one then thought... crap what about the other one, I better grab it out of the peg befroe that happens as well... and then saw the empty peg... too LATE! The ground is gravel so even though I've combed through it day and night (hoping the metallic gunmetal would reflect in torch light) its still gone burgers.

Do the impossible and find me the weapons pod of the right side of the Wave Tomahawk chest that pinged off a peg outside will airbrushing... never to be seen again?

Did you need some pilot name decals as well? I can send them if I have them.

New Zealand but I'm sure it will make it to you. I'll put it in a case

Want me to post it?

One of my Hasegawa Growlers will be your donor for that then. I have them. Where are you located?

What scale and brand? I have a graveyard of brand new 1/72 Hasegawa F/A and E/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet kits I buy just for the decals to use in my Valks.

X Cover 4... its just a bike and shooting phone as its waterproof.

iphone flipped upside down. My samsung X Cover4 can't match the wifes iphone for photos.

Not fighter.... STRIKE Fighter hence the A in F/A, Fighter/Attack... bombs are good, embrace the bomb, love the bomb and the bomb will love you back.

Found a rather cool picture of a near max takeoff weight loadout for a Syria Bombing sortie... This last picture is almost identical to the VF-4 diorama I'm working on at the moment.

Don't they have wing loading rated to 9G vs 7.5 on the older hornets? I'd have thought they could swing a heavier external stores load as a result. Guess not.
