Another Desert Storm warrior in my collection. Hasegawa kit, Aires avionic bays and exhaust nozzles, Eduard armament, Brengun wheels, Quickboost seats and Flying Leathernecks decals.

 

Happy modelling!

That is very good!  

Lots of detail and a great paint job 👌

Beautiful work! What sort of mission is that configuration set up for? Three external tanks and two rocket pods suggests a long endurance FAC mission, but honestly I'm guessing.

Your guess is absolutely correct sir, Green Knights flew mostly night Fast FAC missions in the Gulf..

Cracking job Mate, how did you like the Aires Avionic sets Fit & Quality wise?

 

Cheers

I spent an incredible amount of time thickening the fuselage walls and trimming, especially around the undercarriage bay there's no room at all. But then the fit was excellent.
