Fast Eagle 107

So this build of the first air-to-air kill by a Tomcat is almost done. It's Fast Eagle 107 from USS Nimitz in all over Light Gull Grey of VF-41 Black Aces. You can read more about the build (including pics) on this link

Also gave the crew a 'Black Ace' insignia on the back of their helmets...kind of. The belts are from wine-bottle foil.

I think the Ace on the tail should be a dark grey, not black but went with the kit decals. The only change was to remove the silhouette decal of the Su-22 Fitter - that was applied on the a/c post combat but this build is as she looks after recovering aboard that morning.

Will post some better pictures tomorrow, once I find the proper camera! Will also post some quotes from that day.

Thanks for looking.
