I used Mr. Color paints for the correct FS colors. The bluish tint is probably due to the lighting and my photo editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any problems with your build? Shaun. Thanks, Shaun. No real problems at all. Black Box pit was a great fit and the Sierra Hotel Models seamless intakes were basically a drop fit! The Academy Hornet is a joy to build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Thanks, Shaun. No real problems at all. Black Box pit was a great fit and the Sierra Hotel Models seamless intakes were basically a drop fit! The Academy Hornet is a joy to build. I think the intakes are the only fault in what otherwise, is an excellent kit. I've got a couple in the stash but have never started one!! Makes you wonder how the intake tunnel diameter was done wrong when the rest of the kit is correct down to the last rivet? Well done on an excellent build.
