Solo Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Hello. That is my newest model of F/A-18D Hornet. Average kit of Hobby Boss plus some aftermarkets: Eduard PEs and ejection seats (also RBF ribbons), Aires exhaust nozzle, (once again) Eduard weapons, TwoBobs decals (have used only very few of them, the rest markings painted from templates), few Anyz resins and lot and lot of scratchwork and hard work. Here there is my Hornet, enjoy. 58 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody37 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 The hornet does nothing for me normally, but the scheme you've chosen and the way you've painted and weathered it is absolutely stunning! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod bettencourt Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 This is one of the best 1/48 hornet builds I have seen. Fantastic work and thanks for sharing. Rod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Congratulations on your realistic worn and well used finish! A rarity these days. The streaks on the underside look excellent, as does the beaten up drop tank. Really well done 👏👏👏 Alan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
