:-) I'm not sure if this is allowed on this board as this is not an in process or newly finished model. However it is re-discoverd, I was taking a look around and came across a few, long ago completed models that I had boxed up and put away. This is from the days when I used to do modern stuff, a long time ago and didn't know much about weathering, but it's one cool scheme :-)

Looks nice, Mal!!! Do you remember which kit it is? I did an F-14 years ago, but it didn't look nearly as nice as yours does.

As usual, this looks real good Mal. This is one of the few modern planes I really like the look of, maybe one day........

HOOOOOWWWWLLLL !!!

That's nice Holdfast !
ilove the VF84 high vis colors.
For the people who love navy high vis schemes, you should check the VF 101 "sundowners" too.
