vppelt68 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Two links to our favourite modelling forum threads about lowering Hornet flaps and slats. First by @-Neu- thank you! And the second by our lord and master @Enzo Matrix, thanks to you too! Do you remember how nice it was to write build threads too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 All the pictures I'm posting are taken by masterful Ari Manninen, who's a semi-official Lapland Air Command photographer! New Year is gone but here's one reminder of the fireworks! Ok that wasn't much of a reference shot, let's try to improve on that! A decent A2A load on this one - 10*AIM-120C and 2*AIM-9X. What did Charlie Sheen say? Almost "clean" aircraft, eh, just the centerline tank and some grime A pic I chose to post to show how those flaps hang compared to the backs of the pylons. In case anyone needs a reference pic of the ID spotlight. Going away... fast! V-P 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's also a dry environment, which isn't actually that bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seamus Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) A link to my Flickr and some of the Hornets I've shot over the years. No close ups or walkaround type images, but hopefully of some use in terms of overall appearance, weathering etc Edited January 6, 2022 by Seamus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Besides vppelt's photo above, does anyone have some good images of what a "naked" legacy Hornet's fuselage weapon station looks like? That is, without FLIR or whatever gadgets sometimes get stuck there. bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightningboy2000 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 There's some static shots amongst my collection of Hornets here. Maybe of help with anyone cutting wings in order to drop flaps etc. I've got some more close up shots of one of the Canadian examples to add to the collection. Some of which I referred to when I did my Spanish Tiger Meet Hornet. https://www.flickr.com/gp/data70/40Xcmg Album with some close up walkaround shots of a Canadian example here with some underside shots.

gingerbob Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I'm sorry, what I really meant was the ones on the "edges" near the main gear- but that is a GREAT photo for other purposes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ari Manninen indeed takes magnificent pics of magnificent planes in magnificent environment! Would this be good and clear enough? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to build another Academy Legacy Hornet one day, and I have the 4F-dable Decals for Swiss and Spanish Hornets left over from this build.
