Test run of decals for the AGM-12 Bullpup. I'm happy with the sizing, so I'll get them set up to make available for purchase. Same as for the A-10, $5 shipped to the US and Canada.
Some notes. As there are raised lines for the stripes, I went ahead and just masked and painted them on. I did this for two reasons; if I did decals, they'd have to be done on white backed paper (everything else is on clear backed), and it allows the modeler to paint the stripes whatever color they wish. I also painted the exhaust black.
I think they came out pretty well and really dresses them up. Not sure If I'm going to do anything for the tanks though.4 PhotosPat

For those that want to know what a Snakeye is, it's a variant to the Mk 81 and 82 bombs with the Mark 14 TRD (Tail Retarding Device).
Back in the day it paid to have as roommates an AO1 - Aviation Ordinance Petty Officer First Class and a Second Class Petty Officer EOD SEAL.
I also happened to be an AQ - Aviation Fire Control (Computer/Nav/Inertial/Radar and Weapons release platforms on the A-6).

Got mine together last night. Went with the navy scheme. Everything went smooth. Only concern is the nose gear has a ton of slop. I took retract out and tryed to figure out how to tighten it up. I stripped one of the Allen set screws on the strut too. What a pain. Is some slop normal? This is my first freewing. Any help would be appreciated. Also anyone know if the avanti nose gear will fit on the a4? I hate that tiny nose wheel.1 Photo
