This is my Hornet of
VF-86 "Sidewinders".
I used a cockpit set, AIM-9L and the AGM-88 HARM from Cutting Edge. Decals come
from Eagle Strike.
The figures are from the kit and from PWMP, so are the tractor and the small
hand cart.
VFA-86 participated in Operation Southern Watch in 1996.
They flew its missions from USS George Washington.

I
airbrushed the aircraft with x-tra colors and weathered with artist oils ad
pastel chalks.
The carrier deck is made from
sheet styrene. First I wanted to use the tie-down points from Flightpath. But in
my opinion they don´t look very realistic. So I only used only the insert made
from white metal. The stars where the chains were hooked in were soldered
together using small pieces of brass rods.

I
converted the GBU-12 from an Mk.82 with parts from a GBU-10 and scratched Parts.
The missile trolley is scratchbuild with the exception of the wheels.
