1/48 F/A-18D Hornet - Hobby Boss


Recommended Posts

Had a go at the Hobby Boss kit kindly gifted to me by my wife Marijke. Wasn't a bad build at all and thoughroughly enjoyed the build.

Build was completely OOB

Paints used were Xtracrylix XA1135 Dark compass grey and XA1136 Light compass grey. Finished with Flory Models dark dirt wash and finally oversprayed with Alclad flat varnish.

Takamota San!

Very impressive, that is a fantastic Hornet, looks lovely. How did you find the kit decals? I'm thinking of getting one of these... Any fit issues or pitfalls?

Decals went on lovely. One coat of tamiya X-20A over them and they settled down just great into the panel lines.

That's just magic, min.

Up to your usual high standards.
