Gabe Q Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Lookin great! I'm amazed those decals are still viable after 20+ plus years since their release. Bravo!
Goodman Models Posted February 16 Author Posted February 16 Here’s some more progress on attaching the ordnance.
Gabe Q Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Looks like it's almost ready to go. Love it! Keep up the good work!
Goodman Models Posted February 17 Author Posted February 17 Still have a lot of flat coating to do, panel line pin wash, pilot figure and then on to the fight deck.
Goodman Models Posted March 21 Author Posted March 21 Quick update, had to put this on hold while I get some Reno’s down in my basement - my old shop space is totally gone and I’m setting up a temp space. Just a few little touches to wrap it up!
Goodman Models Posted April 1 Author Posted April 1 I got a little more done. I did manage to drop it when I was setting up my new space - breaking a wing, 1 mirror and knocking off one 500lb bomb. Repaired most of it and got the pilot assembled.
Goodman Models Posted April 4 Author Posted April 4 I’ve got the pilot and canopy ready to go. Will get new pics up soon!
Goodman Models Posted April 6 Author Posted April 6 Most of the fall damage has been repaired, figure are underway.
Goodman Models Posted April 24 Author Posted April 24 Out of the decal stash which I add to whenever I can. He may have been a real pilot, not sure! here’s another update: the carrier deck is underway.

I’ve noticed that it’s hard to find pilot names in white font. Most real U.S. aircraft have black lettering on grey fuselages. I noticed recently while watching a modeling video that the F-117 had white names since the aircraft was black. I’m going to pick up a decal sheet to supply some names for VF-1s. The model is looking great! Edited May 8 by VF-1A Grunt

Goodman Models Posted May 26 Author Posted May 26 Not great photos as my set up is packed up but almost complete. Still refining the panel lining and maybe add some fine weathering.
Goodman Models Posted May 31 Author Posted May 31 (edited) Catapult deck under construction. I used the Italeri deck kit and elements of the Macross deck kit as reference to make this one up out of sheet stock. The italeri had certain parts doubled that won’t be needed in that build and I’m still debating using BDs from the resin kit or scratch building them. Edited May 31 by Goodman Models Content
