lordstrpe Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Hi Everyone I present to you a VFA-143 inflight display from the 2006/2007 cruise. Aftermarket bits used were fightertown decals, aires ejection seat, two mikes seamless intakes and attack squadron GBU-38's. Had a bit of difficulty strapping the pilot into the seat using the PE but I'm pleased with how it turned out. Painted using Mr Hobby and Tamiya paint and weathered with oils and powders. Will take some better photos when the sun is out! 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazey Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I really like the way you finished your model and how you've displayed it on the stand. How did you do the image on the base? Regards, David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
