Scooby Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Does the Blue Angels kit come with all the parts found in the CF-18 boxing? Such as weapons, Canadian gear, searchlight, etc. I can’t find any reviews with the sprue. The CF-18 kit is on backorder at Lucky, I have plenty of Canadian decals, all I would need is the kit to make an A or a B. I want to take advantage of their sale.

Kinetic CF-18 available in Usa at Sprue Brothers Models. I am from Quebec Canada and Sprue Brothers is one of my main hobby supplier. Very professional hobby retailer.

Tiger331 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I love this game the USMC play 'sneaking' a pin up into their low visibility camouflage/special markings. I was aware of the well known example on the CH-53E, which features on a Flying Leathernecks aftermaket decal sheet but did not realise that had done the same with a F/A-18D Hornet.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Leathernecks Decals Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 To ensure everything fit correctly, I cut the stripes with my vinyl cutter and applied them to the kit. With the exception of one small area near the inside base of the right vertical (just a tad bit of artistic license had to be used), I had really good photos to work from. The squadron sent me great walk around shots several years ago and it was nice to be able provide those markings as the main option in the Kinetic kit.

They are only copying us Canadians, we snuck the pin-up into one of our tiger striped CF-18As in the early 90s. http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/222119-balkan-rat-and-439-tiger-meet-joint-build/ Edited November 2, 2018 by Scooby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIGHTS ON Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Will Flying Leatherneck Decals sell this sheet (or some of it) as a stand alone decal? (Love that new 1/32 F/A-18D sheet that's in the pipeline by the way - quality of your sheets is excellent. from a very satisfied customer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Dave, since you were able to make a set of the stripes from vinyl, would you consider upscaling these to 1/32 for the Academy kit?

Unfortunately the VMFA(AW)-533 and 121 options were dropped from the kit sheet, so they will be put on a Flying Leathernecks sheet that will go to print in January.

The 90s were a different landscape although the CO of 439 still got in a lot of trouble when it was discovered the girlie silhouette was snuck into the paint scheme by the creator.

Boman Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I'm a bit confused - what decal options will be in the box? The sheet depicted in post #108 or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that you can already build an ATARS bird from the F/A-18 A/B/CF kit since it includes the extra parts. I have one to which I've added the DN Models masks to build the 'Bengali's' aircraft featured above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's far easer for me to achieve the build I want with a styrene ATARS which the Kinetic kit offers and it allows me to save my Hasegawa kit to build another scheme from the Flying Leathernecks 'Death Dealing Delta's' range.
