Not much to say about this well known „Jug“! Another one in my growing Thunderbolt collection, basically planned and built as a NMF-Jug in 2004 she was desperately waiting for her final cammo after I had ruined her metal finsh by trying some new techniques. Beeing just one step away from throwing the whole stuff out the next window I decided (in the very last moment!) to give her another chance by layin` her beside to be finished later. Just right in time LSP came out with its first decal line and so the decision was made: Ok, start the „Wolfpack-project!“ After getting a few very good pics of the original ( thanx Mr. Sherland!) I decided to giver her a few goodies like the rocket-boosters and a pancake-droptank ( both scratched) to push her up a bit. Here she is, not my best built ever, but nevertheless a beautyfull cammoed Jug between my Silver-Jugs. Thanx a lot to LSP for saving this bird with their great and highly recommended decal sheet. Enjoy,
