Lookin great! I'm amazed those decals are still viable after 20+ plus years since their release. Bravo!

Here’s some more progress on attaching the ordnance.

[Gabe Q]

Looks like it's almost ready to go. 

Love it! Keep up the good work!

Still have a lot of flat coating to do, panel line pin wash, pilot figure and then on to the fight deck.

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]

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.

Looking forward to seeing more , when you're ready. 

[Goodman Models]

I’ve got the pilot and canopy ready to go. Will get new pics up soon!

[Goodman Models]

Most of the fall damage has been repaired, figure are underway.

Looking good. Where did you source the CDR Woody Owens?

[Goodman Models]

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!
