pacificmustang Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Meng's very nice Super Hornet. I found the model for the most, well detailed, with good fit of parts. The gun muzzle and tail fins can be painted off the model and then simply pushed into place. The cockpit is perhaps a little basic, but was fine for me, building with a closed canopy. The only let down was the decals, the stencilling being just random lines and black instead of the correct grey. Decals are from Afterburner and pylons from Phase Hangar resin A fuller description of the build is detailed in my blog attached to my signature. Thanks for looking Bruce 36 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f111guru Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Great looking finish Bruce. The F-18 has come along way over the years. Your slight weathering is a plus. All The Best, Ron VanDerwarker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binbrook87 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 What a cracker! I don't think I've seen this scheme before, very eye catching with the yellow and black plus the shsrkmouth. I've a Revell Super Hornet and just cannot decide which squadron markings to go... for but you've given me plenty of inspiration. Top work on this beauty 👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calum Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Nice looking model Bruce. It really is good scheme (Having sellers regret on that decal sheet now ) I reckon those cracking reference images from that photographer guru mate of yours helped a lot :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
