    What a cracker! I don't think I've seen this scheme before, very eye catching with the yellow and black plus the shsrkmouth. I've a Revell Super Hornet and just cannot decide which squadron markings to go... for but you've given me plenty of inspiration. Top work on this beauty 👍👍

    theres plenty of eye catching CAG schemes out there binbrook. Furball and Fightertown being two producers with great sheets

    Thanks for the kind comment too

  2. Meng's very nice Super Hornet.  I found the model for the most, well detailed, with good fit of parts. The gun muzzle and tail fins can be painted off the model and then simply pushed into place.  The cockpit is perhaps a little basic, but was fine for me, building with a closed canopy.

     

    The only let down was the decals, the stencilling being just random lines and black instead of the correct grey.
    Decals are  from Afterburner and pylons from Phase Hangar resin

    A fuller description of the build is detailed in my blog attached to my signature.

    Thanks for looking

  3. G’day All

    I currently have a 48 scale Jag on the bench I’m fiddling with. It is to be finished as an Op Granby jet in desert pink. 
     

    My question is what colour would the interior of the intake mouths be?

    dark green/grey as per the original camo, or would they  have repainted at least the first couple of feet in the desert pink ?

     

    Thanks for any insight

    Looks great, know what you mean about the iid, think they look the business. I’m on with the hasegawa 1/48 kit now. I’ve spotted that this only has a landing light on the port wing, my kit has both- which is correct!???

    Troy has you covered with his answer. If you’re doing JV o Z from the Hasegawa kit , yes, Port only light is correct

    Very neat work on the Fly kit Bruce,  :goodjob:

    Thanks Troy, although I’m not really happy with my exhaust stain, it doesn’t really follow the airfoil of the wing that well

    Certainly not the easiest model, but Im glad she's now done and residing on my shelf!

     

    I've always liked the Tankbuster Hurricane ever since seeing the ancient Monogram kit built to a high standard during my early teens.

     

    The model was built pretty well out of the box, although I replaced the cannons with brass tubing. The fit wasn't tooooo bad, but you need to ensure that the casting block is completely removed from the resin wheelbay.  Even then there was still some sanding and filling required.

    All markings were painted on using home made masks from a mate. Stencils were also painted using masks from 1 man Army.  Paints were by SMS

     

    A fuller description of the build can be found by following the link in my signature block.

     

    Roll on the forthcoming Revell Hurricane IIb!

     

    Thanks for Looking
