66Foxtrot Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClareWentzel Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share 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.
