Coming on nicely Chris.
Boatmans Super Hornet F18/A- F Build
- Thread starter boatman
- Start date
an ive fineally got the wings on an the wing nav lights all 4x 2 on each wing tip an i hear you say why 2 lights on each wing tip well the answer is its to do with the missele rail as from top the bottom lights cant be seen from the top veiw an the same fom the bottom so lights fitted top an bottom an the wing ends fold up lovely an yes its getting big near as big as the tomcat 
WELL i just dry fitted on the bottom half of the fusalarge an guess what it dont fit oh dear another fit battle comin on just like the tomcat oh dear but i will get it done
Is it the kit that doesn't fit or because of all the wiring? Goodluck

Hi Chris.Im sure you can sort the beggar out and knock it into shape.Give it some brute force and with crossed fingers and a following wind you can shoe horn it all together.Hope Jen is ok.
Great stuff mate.

G/M Richard hope you an yours are well an yes i'll get it done but it would have been nice to have it just drop into place rather than havin to fight it to get it to fit but it was like this on the tomcat but i suppoce these big kit when they make them its a job to get them to fit dead right so hence out come the clamps an such but it will fit its just that its awkward to get the clamps to hold on an thank you sir for askin about jen yes she is now out of her depresshion an she i goin to the pictures with her freind they wanted me to go but no good to me as there is no subtitles on the screen like on tv so no fun for me an i will be much happyier at home buildin this hornet

HI GUYS well still battttling this bloomin hornet build to day im goin to try an connect the fusalarge togeather crossed fingers lol an here both engines are now fitted in an they are small compared to the tomcats engines an the main eletric uptake plug can be clearly seen an for once these parts have fitted togeather reasonably an the mainpower feed plug also can be seen with its red top 
AN here ive resprayed the grey but now got a bit of overspray on the red so mask up time again to respay the red on the nose section as there was a big gap there that had to be filled an rubbed down so had to respray an now got to mesure on the wings an tail section how much will be sprayed red an just hopein them decals will be ok an not splinter
