66Foxtrot Posted August 15, 2010 Report Posted August 15, 2010 Academy's scaled-down Hornet, built OOB. The Swiss Tiger Meet markings are from Zotz, while the fuel tank stripes and all stencils are from the kit (Cartograph!) I added Bare Metal Foil to the oleo struts. Finished in Life Color acrylics on the airframe, Tamiya acrylics on the undercarriage. Semi-gloss finish is custom-mixed, and Pro-Modeler wash in the panel lines. Tried to finish for Phoenix, to no avail. Enjoy....

ClareWentzel Posted August 15, 2010 Report Posted August 15, 2010 Gorgeous James. Great model and you hit several of my favorite loves. Small Air Forces, Tiger meet markings plus, I am getting to love the F-18. Too bad you didn't have it at Phoenix. It would have gotten lots of attention.
66Foxtrot Posted August 15, 2010 Author Report Posted August 15, 2010 Thanks, guys! Clare, my goal was to finish it for Phoenix....missed it by a week, LOL! It was great seeing you and the Mrs.
ghodges Posted August 15, 2010 Report Posted August 15, 2010 Lovely scheme on another great build James! Thanks for sharing! GIL
Mark Deliduka Posted August 15, 2010 Report Posted August 15, 2010 That's beautiful James. Incredible work. That would have looked fantastic on the tables in Phoenix!
David M. Knights Posted August 16, 2010 Report Posted August 16, 2010 Very nice James. Bring her to Louisville on Nov. 6th.
