My custom F-16 (X-16) Ghoststriker....I've got several of these that I want to paint up in similar fashion.

I like it. Pretty underrated jet from the end of the line. Like so many others at the time it was saddled with bad decals and neon missiles. Swap both of those out and you've got a winner. Again, nice job...I like it.

Thanks...I wish the paint scheme would show up a bit better. The original is almost white. I painted it up in a dark aircraft grey by Testors. Looks way better than my photos indicate.

Great job. I plan to de-neon the 90s vehicles I enjoy as soon as I'm done documenting them as issued on 3DJoes.
Like extnsventerprise said, get rid of the stickers and neon missiles and it's a great little jet. I'm curious to see the earthquake with a more realistic look. I bet it'll be awesome.

Very nice, now it belongs side the sky striker. Before, in original form, it looked too cartoonish

The decals are from cobrastickers.com, the "Black Aces" set for the Skystriker. Evidently the Black Aces were an actual F-14 unit? Anyway, I'm working on a custom aircraft carrier and I want the Ghoststriker as my AC jet. I know that's far from accurate in the real world and in the Joe world, but the jet looks great, is small enough to have several on the deck, and I have 6 of them so it makes sense to me.

Did you reverse the wing nav lights on purpose ?
