A-10LOADER Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Here's a re-paint I did for a good friend of mine. She started out as a 1/18th scale JSI VF-84 "SpotCat". I didn't do any bodywork, seam filling, panel fastener detail to her, like I did on my F-14B conversion. I did scratch-build the tail stiffeners, the GPS dome on the spine, the wing glove sealing plates, the reinforcement plate around the RIO's boarding step and, one of the small circular pieces that hold the tailhook in place ( it was broken off and missing when he received her ). I also shortened the IFF / Data Link antenna. Built him one of my custom stands and made the display plaque. This is one scheme that I wish JSI had released, I really like it. Enjoy the pics.

mattcour Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 So great a model! Not only by size but by the looks as well. The make-up makes it a totally different and nice model! A-10LOADER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck540z3 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Really, really nice Steve. You really know what to do with those big cats, don't you! I would just love one in my house, but I can't find enough room for my 1/32 models as it is. Cheers, Chuck A-10LOADER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
