That's exactly what inspired this bit of frivolity. Further work on the navalization involved swapping the landing gear out. The original gear leg on the left is a bit, spindly. I cut down a spare set of F-14 legs instead. The nose gear is also swapped out, again for F-14 bits. 3
BlrwestSiR Posted Wednesday at 04:12 AM Posted Wednesday at 04:12 AM I just did a very quick mock up to see how things look. Nothing's glued so it's all a bit skewed. 3

HubertB Posted Wednesday at 08:56 AM Posted Wednesday at 08:56 AM Just like on the original, you need to increase the take-off incidence by lengthening the nose gear leg, à la Cutlass or UK Phantom FG-2 … just my two cents Hubert 3

Cheers Rob My first thought was to use the natural wing break in the kit and depict the wings folded but then that would ruin the look. I'll probably just scribe something into the wings instead. 2
