TheRazgriz118 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Greetings all, for my first post I wanted to share two hornets in 1/72nd scale that I have slowly been progressing on. For the Tamiya super hornet I temporarily placed decals for VFA-106 just for fun until I can get some from twobobs as the kit decals are kinda lame IMHO. I have only been in the Modelling scene for a little over a year now and hope to learn anything I can to improve, also forgive me as I seem to have lost the photos I took of the build leading up to here. Please let me know what you all think. Cheers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to make my own IFF box on the superbug and the hasegawa hornet has a nose droop that needed a lift but I think I got it looking a bit more true to the real bird.

TheRazgriz118 Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Just a quick update, I went ahead and ordered the Twobobs sheet 1:72 F/A-18E VFA-14 Fighting Fourteenth Nr. 72-083. So once that comes in ill try out the Hi-Vis CAG markings and save the Lo-Vis for when I get the Hasegawa kit. In the mean time I will have to find some time to pick up a fresh jar of flat black paint as my current one has dried up somehow rats..

TheRazgriz118 Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 Afternoon everyone, so progress has been a bit slow lately I had to cover a lot of shifts lately but before work this morning, i had a few spare minutes to at least add a few decals to the Delta hornet. I feel like i went too heavy on the rescribing i was just worried that after painting with a brush it might cover the detail. Because of it being so deep now i didn't feel the need to attempt panel lining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRazgriz118 Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 Alright everyone I placed most of the decals on and tinted the canopy as best as I could. Markings are of VMFA-232 Red Devils from the Hase 1/72 F/A-18C box. Thought I would mix it up a bit just for fun. It is missing the ATARS rec system in the nose but im content with it as is. Still need to do some touch ups here and there, finish painting the armament, as well as the sub assemblies and slap them all on....eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
