danntheman Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 This is my attempt at this kit. I was just finished when disaster struck, I spilt glue on her. So a lot of remedial work had to be done, still it is finished so hope you like. As usual all comments and suggestions welcome. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrlx Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Turned out beautifully, superb gloss finish and no signs of the glue accident. Is the Italeri F-18 a good kit? Cheers Jaime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danntheman Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 I liked it good fit hardly any filler needed at all, cockpit details a bit short but I always think in this scale aftermarket is wasted anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrlx Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Thanks Dann. I have Academy's F-18C and D in the stash and Revell's F on the way, but am always looking for other options. Cheers Jaime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phone Phixer Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Very nice finish. Can't tell there was a glue incident at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vh-bob Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 She looks every bit a Blue Angel. Sorry to hear of the glue incident, that is worse than me picking up the ultra thin cement instead of the decal softener. Hope you get it fixed Trev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
