Baldy Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Lovely build, paintwork and finish. Can't believe the Aussies have operated the Hornet for so long - time flies! Must be getting old! Cheers Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Nice build there Simon, those red tail feathers look great. It is 32 years since I saw my first RAAF Hornet at the 1987 Harewood 50th Airshow. Hell, where did all that time go? Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_alfisti_ Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Very nice Hornet, I love the Aussie-Hornets anyway. You did realy great work on the paintjob and weathering. I wonder which decals you used, because there is a small fault with them. The kangaroo on the roundels always looks forward.

Regards Daniel I used HobbyBoss decals, didn't realize the error until commented by members in this forum. hahah.... Option 1: use after market decals to overlap the roundel, Option 2: leave it as it is. I choose option 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumBum Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Very very nice job. I am considering building an RAAF legacy Hornet and it looks like Kinetic make a great kit. But is the best starting point an "A" or a "C"? They started life as an "A" obviously but with the upgrades have they morphed into a "C"? Is there much difference? cheers for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Masterfully completed kit. That's one you can brag about, for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Perren Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Great build. Its a pity Hobby Boss decided to box this offer with a C kit. Not quite correct for some minor details but that doesn't take away from your work. Thank you for sharing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
