Looking forward to seeing how it turns out. There are files available to 3D print the Mk82's. Chris Wolfe can do them if you don't have a printer. Mine are the JHH 1/10th scale vacuum formed bombs. They are time consuming to make but very light.
Some more shots. I detailed the backs of the rocket pods and got a coat of paint on them. I may add some rocket fin detail to the back of the pods and then a little paint detail and call it done.
I really need to finish this before I start working on the F-4 drag chute. I also checked the CG fully loaded and it hasn't changed.Comment

Tested the drop tank mod on the A-4 today. Conditions were very blustery, gray sky, and wet. But the payload release units worked as advertised.
Also I had not flown a jet in a month. Situation normal.

man I love the drop tanks great job...Comment

Well they came off rather violently! I will probably find some properly weighted scale bombs for future air-to-mud operations.
The 3d printing thing may be in the future as well. Still kicking that one around.Meridian Aeromodelers, Meridian MSComment

The VMA-121 Green Knights A-4 is officially done. Got a few pictures of it with my Blue Angels #6 up at my good friend George Bakers place. He had a Hangar Day and it was good to get together again.
Now I have one for work and one for play.....

I used the f14 gear support. You have to cut it down and File some metal down so the plastic part would fit on the Shaft.

Nice job on the detailing guys. How does that nose gear work under operational conditions? video please...
Since I got the 104 back in the air, The little Skyhawk is going down for a re-paint into TW-1, VT-7 colors in preparation for the 100th mission. She has picked up a few dings along the way.
Graphics have been ordered from Callie.Meridian Aeromodelers, Meridian MSComment

Thank you Topshot. Good luck with it. It looks great!
Well today I received my decals from Callie. They look really nice. I went and took off all the old vinyl stickers. She's gonna get a new nose gear trunnion as the current one has a lot of slop.
Also the decals are for a VT-7 TA4J assigned to the USS Lexington. So Lady Lex it will be. VT-7 of course.
I plan to have her painted sometime in March. We'll see. Ron I'll bring her over to Jackson for you guys to inspect.
Been fighting the flu I think. Can't wait for the rainy season to be over.Meridian Aeromodelers, Meridian MSComment

Great weather here in Ohio today. Finally got the maiden in on my TA-4J! Amazing how well these FW jets fly. Balanced per the instructions, required a couple clicks of down trim, nothing more. Its going to be a fun flying season.
Hey Seaviper! We need to put these two training command jets in the same place sometime!Attached FilesComment
