Kinetic 1/48 F/A-18A Agressor. A well used aircraft


Recommended Posts

Absolute cracker! Love it in that aggressor scheme, was thinking about building an F-18 in the same as I find the modern day US Navy grey pretty dull, especially with muted markings these days.

Lovely work as always Rene 

how did you find the kinetic Hornet to build ?

Thank you.

 

It builds quite good. The weak points are the rear fuselage where the upper and lower halfs meet and the intakes. But if you don't follow the instructions when assembling the intakes, you can get a seamless assembly there.

Hello HartDeco, Hello René

Fantastic build. fantastic photography.

It takes a lot of spirit to start with this color scheme.

Finished and weathered to the highest model standards.

Regards,

Orion-The Netherlands.

Very nice build and paint!

 

The number 02 on the top of the tail is in the kit decal? I found only smaller numbers.

Thanks. I think I used my cutting plotter to make masks for these digits.

Blows my mind! That scheme is awesome! I have no idea how you married the decals with the disruptive scheme. Is there a WIP thread here that shows how you did it? 

Thanks. I used photos of the real aircraft as a guide to determine where I had to make the demarcation lines between the different colours. This is far more accurate than the drawings in the instructions.
