Great job. When I built mine I went with Kitty Hawk for some different decal options and ended up going for a pretty standard scheme. Wished I'd gone with Kinetic in the end. And yours looks fantastic.

Thanks guys
Base is just printed plasticard, this one was from flyingmule.com they have heaps of different ones, and there is another company coastal kits that do them
Fantastic model! What display base is that? I really like it.
Props for building a scheme that might not be seen as all that popular to some. I think it's pretty cool and it looks stunning. Well done, Sir.

Not the easiest of kits, but I guess you expect that going in to a Kinetic or Kitty Hawk build. The instructions are real vague in places and have you scratching your head thinking where exactly does that go, but i have found this with all Kinetic kits.So I probably chose the most boring scheme OOB, but I read an article about the SUE in Iraqi service which really interested me, so the history of the SUE in Iraqi service
A total of five Super Étendards were loaned to Iraq in 1983 while the country was waiting for deliveries of Agave-equipped Dassault Mirage F1's capable of launching Exocet missiles that had been ordered; the first of these aircraft arrived in Iraq on 8 October 1983. The provision of Super Étendards to Iraq was politically controversial, the United States and Iraq's neighbour Iran were vocal in their opposition while Saudi Arabia supported the loan; the aircraft were seen as an influential factor in the 1980–88 Iraq-Iran war as they could launch Exocet strikes on Iranian merchant shipping traversing the Persian Gulf. The Super Étendards began maritime operations over Persian Gulf in March 1984; a total of 34 attacks were carried out on Iranian shipping through the rest of 1984. Tankers of any nationality that were carrying Iranian crude oil were also subject to Iraqi attacksPaint scheme is Gunze acrylics, other paints used, Tamiya, Vallejo acrylics and Vallejo Metal Color. Flory Dark Dirt Wash, and Mig satin varnish. OOB decals are Cartograf
