Mates Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Hi, this my new finished kit. This is really good F-18E from Academy in 1/72 scale. I added one of the Eduard's GBU-12 bombs. Painted with Tamiya and Gunze H. Edited March 26, 2018 by Mates 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewr9fkr9595 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Dont know anything about hornets or which kit is best - but that’s very, very nice. Lovely paint job mate. The shade of metal on that nose gun panel looks super real too. Makes me want to buy one 👍🏿 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mates Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 This is Academy 12547 kit . Honestly, I have not liked Hornets/Superhornets before...until I started working with this kit. It's a very simple kit, but it gives a lot of fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelling Padre Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 The detail and paint work, I thought it was 1/48 scale. Great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NealParkes Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 That is a very impressive paint job you have done, I very much like the tonal variation on the upper wings and also the discolouration on the engine bays. It also has a nice load out! All in all well done! Thanks for sharing it with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfinished project Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Beautiful if only my F/A-18F could’ve turned out anything near as good as this. Hats off to you sir 🎩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
