Winenut Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 As if one jet wasn't out of character for me.....I actually made two! Following from the Eurofighter I also made the Hobby Boss FA-18 I used the HB Blue Angels kit, pinched a bit of ordinance from an old Minicraft FA-18 kit and sourced some Two Bobs after market decals for the Werewolves scheme Finished with Model Master Enamels Had to do a combat version .....couldn't bring myself to paint the thing in the Blue Angels Livery! Here's the pics Thanks for looking Cheers Bruce 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winenut Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 Nothing wrong with that Winenut, a lovely build of one of my favourite modern jets - very well done indeed!! Kev Thanks Kev. I must admit while building it I started to see why people like modelling jets and specifically the F-18.......it is just a great looking machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winenut Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Thanks all for the positive comments......much appreciated I thought the photos I took with my phone camera looked a bit "soft" and "fuzzy" and I wanted to try something. So I cleaned the lens! Here's the pics which are hopefully a bit better... I'll post some more but I have some pop up survey damn virus thing in my photobucket account that I have to try and sort out ,,,GGGGRRRRRR!!!! edit: to re-instate photos!

Winenut Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 I'm "hoping" the ad blocker extension has fixed my photobucket issues!! Anyway here's a few more pics which can be compared to the first ones to see if there is a bit of an improvement in the clarity and detail. Just a bit better I think. Cheers Bruce edit: to reinstate photos! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winenut Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Another cracking build Bruce,not easy to make an F18 scheme look interesting but you have! Thanks Steve......I thought the Two Bobs decal set added a bit of interest particularly to the fins. Dutifully I painted this aircraft with Model Master paints in the two prescribed colours of "Light" Ghost Grey (FS36375) and "Dark" Ghost Grey (FS36320) If anybody on this planet can see the difference between those two colours on a model I reckon I'll give them a medal Cheers!
