That is a cracking Hornet nonetheless - well done!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good though mate well done 👍🏿 I am quite aware that the outboard pylons does not have plumbing for fuel tanks. But I saw a picture where in they were ferrying a couple of tanks.

It was more surprise at how many it can/needs to carry? All the best, Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Speed limit that photo you posted has quite the funny comment in it. If you know where San Diego and NAS LeMoore are in relation to each other. I can remember back in the 80's when some people were equating the F-18's to WW2 Spitfires or 109's because of there internal fuel capacity. Due to there range limitations without gasbags and tankers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started to plan building this I was looking at the internet hoping to find an unusual load for this jet. Sure enough this was what I picked.
