Pin Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) I started this model in "Hornet STGB" but failed to finish in time http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234941171-aussie-special-bug/ Three weeks are hopefully enough to get her finished. This is what I have at the moment: Edited January 27, 2014 by Pin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacificmustang Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 looking excellent Pin. I think it was external contractors that painted the real jet. I always wonder if they just got the orientation of the roos wrong (the feet should always point inwards on the roundel) or it was deliberately done the "wrong" way?

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Great build, i have these decals for a build one day, Hope it turns out as good as yours is going! looking excellent Pin. I think it was external contractors that painted the real jet. I always wonder if they just got the orientation of the roos wrong (the feet should always point inwards on the roundel) or it was deliberately done the "wrong" way? Bruce Bruce, The roos were intentionally painted this way as it was a display jet and when doing a knife edge pass the roo would be the right way up! I do believe there was a competition of sorts within the Hornet SQNs for the design and this was the winner modified slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Nice result! Did you have any problems making the bird slicer IFF antennas. I have a couple of RAAF Hornets to build in 1/72 and I am not sure how to go about making these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pin Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 The only problem with the slicers is that they are **** small - the width should be about 0.2-0.3 mm I made them of paper that was soaked with liquid superglue, primed with Mr. Surfacer and sanded. Regular office paper is a nice material for such things - affordable, thin, easy to cut, one can design an outline with CAD of choice, print and cut afterwards, and once soaked with superglue it loses its texture and becomes sandable and paintable.
