Hockeyboy76 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I thought I would start the year building some colourful models. The eagle eyed among you will notice the canopy is missing, but fear not @bootneck has kindly sorted that out for me. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 The 1/144 is too small for me to handle 😵💫😵💫😵💫 - However, at age 16 I built one: a legacy Hornet. Sprayed it all silver. Mounted it on my bicycle, over the front wheel. Hoped the girls would like it… looking forward to seeing what magic you can do with these tiny plastic bits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 With the clear parts safely arriving from @bootneck, work has commenced Some white in the wheel bays, and the cockpit glued in ready for decals. And yes @modelling minion, a definite need for some primer of pink after a closer inspection of the decals, some orange paint is needed. We better put @nimrod54 on standby 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Great to see this one underway H, and even better to hear that the hallowed pink primer will be making an appearance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 A little update Seat painted, a “touch” of lead added to the front, lets close her up. A quick tracing of the decal to make a mask, ready to spray the mighty Primer of Pink. Some tape seat belts Having made sure @nimrod54 is sat down, it’s time to call all the Brothers of Pink, PINK IS THE WORD BROTHER 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.E.SAUNDERS Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Hi All , I noticed that the REVELL 1/144 F/A-18C Model does'nt have the (2) bumps rear of the Canopy . The PLATZ 1/144 RAAF F/A-18A incorrectly has them. It appears to me that only the 18C Hornet has them fitted . And I don't know wot there are there for....anybody know ? btw: the Platz Kit is obvously for Wargamers , no Cockpit Interior,chunky Undercarriage fitment ,Snap Fit but excellent Anniversary RAAF Deecals ! cheery "Modellin' " mumbas !
