REAVERS!!!

Hello all!!! I haven't post here for quite a while, I've been looking around and reading a lot just haven't joined in. I've been re-watching the old 80's cartoon while working on other scale models and I got inspired. It started life as a Revell 1/72 F-14D Tomcat. I had noticed while watching the show that in a lot of scenes the SkyStrikers had missiles mounted on the wings. So I added two to each wing and gave it what I think is an appropriate paint job. I wanted to it to look battle worn, all those lasers coming from every where had to hit sometimes. In my thinking the Joe's would not have time during a battle to fix everything or let a Jet sit when needed. It would just land refuel, reload and get back in the fight. I really enjoyed this build, it was a nice break from building models of real world aircraft and paint schemes. I think I want to build another in flight, maybe in 1/48 scale. The Skystriker decals where made on my computer or came from other spare decals I had. Next Up is the Rattler. I figure it's going to take about 3 different kits to kit all the parts I need to make it some what accurate. Comments good and bad are welcome.
Thanks Mark |

I love it. Definitely awesome. I like how you added the harpoon and maverick missiles to the Skystriker.

Thanks guys for the comments. I'm glad y'all like it. From watching the cartoon the Joe's used the SkyStriker for for ground attack a whole lot. So I thought I would give it some good anti tank and anti ship missiles. I started work on the Rattler yesterday, I don't think I ever used a razor saw so much on one model.
