Hi,

Here is my finished Super Hornet. Far from perfect but I am quite happy with result. It is not as good as some others on the forum.

Main problem is that I made a mistake with the decals (although instruction sheet was quite clear, sometimes I should be more careful :banghead:) : I am missing the 200 on the tail fins as I placed them...on the nose !!!

Decals are from Fighter Town and are excellent :worthy:

I also added the Two Mikes air intakes which are a perfect fit.

Still waiting GBU12 with ablative coating to complete.

Sorry for the pictures but I am a poor photographer

Very nice finish indeed.
Although it's a nice looking aircraft it still does not look as sexy as a Tomcat wearing JR markings.

Nice weathering. Looks pretty convincing to me. Good work.

Steeve, I fully agree with you, Tomcat remains more sexy! Well it will be my next one !

Very nice indeed!
I like the Jolly Rogers markings, but I think they look they best on an F-4.
Great work, especially on the weathering.

EXCELLENT finish. On a STUNNING on your super Hornet.

Very good looking model.

Excellent looking Hornet Areos, I didn't think the CAG colours would look as good as you have made them look. Very nice.
