Harrier meets batjet? Nice rivets, and the nose is really cool!

The nose on that thing is fantastic!

Thank you, I actually remodelled the nose, Nerdy had made it the other way up and no grill, cut it off and flipped it, cut a hole/vent in, done a few bits more and started laying down some base colouring....




Played a little with the airbrush and quite happy with where it is going. Such a big model, lots of details to be added yet.

Thanks for looking, thoughts as always appreciated.

Nice squig.

...Good squig, roll over, play dead

Good work on the jet too.

Like to colors on the underbelly.

I love how there are choppas on the wings, just in case it decides to ram anyone. Just in case...

That's a really red jet, sure to go fasta!
Lookin' real nice cam, an excellent conversion!

Wow, that plane does look cool with the new nose. And it's red. That always gets a stamp of approval from me.

"CRAKIN BOMA Mate!!!" that paintjob looks really nice on it!

Love the paint job with the spots on the wings. Also hadn't noticed the choppas on the wings , watch out landing deck crew, better not try and wave him off . Then again maybe he likes flying really low and seeing how many heads he can take off .

Oh that fighta0bomma is looking lovely Cam! that nose is cool!

Thank you all, enjoying this build and paint, very much appreciate the feedback.

Starting to put in some of the detail paintwork...





Please can someone explain the load out for this, I have a rocket launcher for each wing made up and a couple giant bombs, can it carry it all? They are magnetised at mo, the hazard stripe areas under the wings are actually strips of metal.

Want to try and make it official as I will be sending this to some unlucky soul, don't really have much use for it myself. Would rather see someone get the use of it. Any takers?

Still a little to go yet, would very much like to hear your thoughts.

Field as a Burna-Bomma perhaps? It gets a set of TL guns, two bombs, and can take up to six single-use missiles..

Nice work on the jet, the detailing looks great.

EDC

Nice extras Cam, really giving the model some character.

' When the Shark bites .....'

Nice theme and breakup with all the little details.

Good work Cam'.
Can't help with loadout, I'm of the persuasion that just sticks it all on...

Fighta-Bommer right?...going by it's rules in Imperial Armour VIII, it's wargear is:

- 4 hull-mounted big shootas with anti-aircraft mounts
- 1 turret-mounted twin-linked big shoota
- 1 payload of 8 bomms
- 2 supa-rokkits (can be swapped for 2 burna bomms for free)

- optional - can equip up to 2 grot bomms for 20 points each

...rocket launchers count as the payload of 8 bomms?...the two big bombs could be the supa-rokkits/burna bomms (or the optional grot bomms)?...looks like you've got the 4 big shootas, on the hull/wings...any room on there for a little grot turret with a twin-linked big shoota or something maybe?

looking good though man ...actually I've just looked through the last couple of pages and there's a lot of great stuff here man...nice work!

Thank you peeps, will have to see, thinking about extra gunner.

OK, been plodding away at the weathering, and details, still lots to do...








And was missing a couple bits from the kit so scratched something together..




Thanks for looking.

looking stunning, and mind you the weathering looks very life like...

but i couldn´t help it, looking at the first pc...all i first thought was: what an empty looking base...

glad we all survived chrimbo..^^

That's some dirty dakka! Lookin' good Cam, thoroughly weathered!

Thank you peeps. Much appreciated/

Started in on a turret mounted gun on top as it may be possible to add another TLBS...

Couple designs...




And on the magnet mount...




And base metalic on...


Thanks for looking.

oh man, I love both of those gun turrets!

Excellent work on those gun turrets, they look fab.

EDC

Wonderful turrets and basecoat on both!

Cool additions to your jet! Very Dakka!

Happy New Year everyone, wishing you all a great year ahead.

And..happy New year old grunt

Excellent scratchbuild onthose guns. Happy New year back!
