Sorry, just caught up with this build! Super job, she looks absolutely gorgeous in the splinter scheme.

You're right about the cockpit decals, usually I chuck them away but you've done a cracking job with them.

Look forward to your next post.....

Thanks all. Some more progress.

Gear with Royale Resin wheels and Eduard PE looms. The Hasegawa white metal gear is quite nice.

Wolfpack-Design AN/ALQ 167, Hasegawa TACTS pod scratch built to look more like the TACTS pod used by the USN and a AIM-9 from the spares box with a cover from Eduard

Now that is rather special, top work.

I have the A model in the stash, was wondering if the gun vents ahead of the nose wheel bay are correct for the A or C.

There was a build post with the differences somewhere but I can't find it.
