discussion Huge super hornet

[Guest]

Hi all. Taking some time away from the A-7 for a bit. Getting slightly annoyed with it. LOL. Well i picked this up the other day. Its revell's 1/144 F/A-18E Super Hornet. For the size the detail looks good and well scribed. Well better get started then.

Cheers

Nice one Kresten.

I've got a 1/144 Harrier in the stash , I get it out occasionally and look at it then put it away again.:smile11:

Put some pictures up so we can see how you are getting on.

Tony.

Can I just ask about your definition of "huge"? Only, it's not a word traditionally associated with 1/144 scale...

 

[Guest]

Have finished the pit and started on the main construction. Looks ok considering the size. lol. I was just joking when i said huge.

Cheers

This a is lovely office Kresten, it doesn't look 1/144.

Are they decals on the dash ?

I'll enjoy watching this build.

Tony.

Kresten my eyes hurt just looking at that! Nicely done tiny office!

 

[Guest]

Hi. Yes the dash is a decal. Would be fairly hard to mould gauges in this scale. Got the fuselage halves together. Quite simple construction but i suppose thats to be expected. Have taken a pic next to the cockpit of the A-7D to help show the size difference.

Hi all. It has been a while but i have finally gotten back onto this one. Needed to wait till i got my room back after all the holidays and relatives being around. Well i have finished the tails for the hornet, think they have come up well. The rest of the model is drying at the moment so i can hopefully get a gloss coat on later. All the weapons are also done. Have decided to model this one in flight.

Cheers

Nice to see you back on this one Kresten the decals look good on the tailfins

 

[Guest]

I've been thinking about getting this one, will be interesting to see how it develops

 

[Guest]

Hi all. Well the paint is done. I don't think the colour is correct though. I used the FS numbers with the instructions. Well im not going to repaint it anyway. LOL. Have started with the decals so hopefully they will be done in the next couple of days. Thought i would show off the tiny weapons. Better be careful. Could take an eye out :cheeseygrin:

Cheers
