1/48 X-47 WIP
Posted by Darren Roberts on Saturday, May 10, 2014 3:42 PM
I've started to decal my X-47. I decided that the intake was just crying out for a shark's mouth of some sort. I looked through my decal stash and found markings for VA-93. So, in my Whif world, VA-93 is reestablished (as VAU-93) and assigned to CVW-17 aboard the USS Carl Vinson. Here's where I'm at so far. I tried the blue/white rudder stripes on the wingtips, but it just didn't look right. I've the other walkways and all the NO STEP decals to put on yet. This is a fun build and it's a great canvas for Whif markings, especially old A-6 squadrons that have been disestablished.

That's a good looking Whif Darren, but the 47 to me is one ugly flying machine, lol

Made any progress since these pictures? I'd love to see the finished product

Darren, beautiful kit!  I just finished my platz 1/72 X-47. It was a fun kit, decals took me three days. Haha.  Did mine as a VFA-105 Damnbusters. Your kit looks great!

Hahaha, please post more.  I am trying upload some myself but am pretty self concisious of my efforts when I see some of the works of art on the forum.  Mind blowing

Yeah, Darren, the pics are not showing up.  I did see them, though, before and your X-47 looked really great!

Looking forward to seeing more!

It's more than just the website being down. I wasn't able to log into my Comcast webpage, so I called tech support. They rectified the problem...by resetting my webpage and WIPING OUT THE HUNDREDS OF PICTURES I HAD STORED THERE! I'm really, really hoping they have data backup and retrieve them, otherwise all the pictures I have posted on various websites will no longer show up. Once this gets resolved I'll post pictures of the finished model.

Awww, man, that's just awful. Sorry to hear about that. Looking forward to seeing the X-47 once all is rectified.
