George72 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Hello, This my recent project, OOB. A really easy kit, nice fitting and engineering. The only, and big, complain are the decals. They’re virtually useless, way too thick. So, I put it on hold and waited for a new set from ebay. Hope you enjoy! Cheers! 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfman Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I know very little about Hornets, but that looks like a very nice build ! Wulfman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one bonus from scale modeling. You end up learning about the subjects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_stela Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Very nice! I like weathering! Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Very nicely done, great subject and well displayed too. There's something 'Macross-esque' about the Superhornet, particularly the F in Jolly Rogers guise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vultures1 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 That is a VERY nice Hornet, and the weathering is superb. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightningboy2000 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Very impressive Super Hornet. Like that a lot! Which boxing was that? I may have the same kit, just so I know wether to get some better quality decals for it. Academy do make nice kits but I've never had nice decals out of their boxes! Ever, that I can remember!

Martin Thank you! Kit number is Academy 12535 . I strongly suggest aftermarket decals. kit's are terrible. 2 hours ago, alex_stela said: Very nice! I like weathering!

Red Dog Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Terrific Hornet. Paint job is superb. Top notch weathering to boot. Very realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Keg Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Superb!!!!! The weathering and overall presentation is extremely accurate. This is certainly one to be proud of!!!!!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booty003 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 That is a fine looking build. I love the look of the Hornet, especially wearing The Bones!! I know what you mean about some of the Academy decals - their own decals are only fit for the bin, I've had them lift from the model after a few days!!!

Fox_Two Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Academy decals not printed by cartograf are steaming piles of dog crap. I did this kit as well and it is very nice. Part of academy new line of hybrid snap fits with "MCP" (Multi colored parts). It builds into a very nice kit though. You did a really good job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
