Lovely!!!!!What colours you use?I saw that come little bluish..i have same with my USN jets and I use enamel Humbrols..is correct?

I used Mr. Color paints for the correct FS colors. The bluish tint is probably due to the lighting and my photo editing.

Very nice, looks great.

Its a big lump when finished,you need a lot of shelf space to display one!

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.

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.

Shaun.

Super Sexy! I really love the overall effect which makes it look like a real aircraft. Photography is very good too...a real pleasure to look at. Well done!
