1320Wayne Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Yeah, another completed aircraft build. I've said this before but I'll say it again so that everyone knows my abilities. I'm primarily a car builder. Been around cars/race cars my entire life so I know where everything goes. So, when it comes to building and detailing it pretty much comes natural. Aircraft, however, a whole different scenario. I have to do research for every build and hope that I get it right, or relatively close to right. The technical aspects of building aircraft are totally different than car/truck subjects. I am in total awe of so many aircraft builders and their abilities to get the finishes/weathering just right. So, with the disclaimer out of the way here is my latest build. F-18 VFA-146 Blue Diamonds using a Revell kit along with Twobobs decals. I'm trying to add the appropriate paint details and still trying to get the whole weathering techniques down. Still a ways off on that. All that aside I am happy with the results and think it looks good on the shelf. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghodges Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Good looking Hornet and a cool scheme to boot! That Revell/Monogram kit isn't one of the easier F-18 kits and you did it up very nicely. Congrats, and thanks for posting! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
