Geoffrey Abreu Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 This is my recently completed 1/72 Academy F/A-18E. The kit was completed OOB using kit decals. Painted using MRP Paints with Gunze Mr. Color for the tail. Weathering was done with oils. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfordhibby Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Well that is good, a definite 10 in my book. Just the correct amount of weathering to catch peoples interest. Without looking like a candidate for the scrap yard. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Nice looking model ! How is this kit like ? I understand it's designed for a simpler assembly, do you think this approach detracts from the detail ? Judging from the pictures it's hard to tell that it's a simplified kit, looks pretty good to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a nice kit with excellent surface detail and full intake trunking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 That's a lovely model. Have you seen the film of one on a low level trip through the Scottish Highlands I posted in chat? Superb from the cockpit views including take off and landing on carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
