Done: F/A-18C VMFA-122 Crusaders (1/72 Academy) Hi all, I'm a 14 year old modeler and this is my second complete build, first on ARC. Please excuse the mistakes in the job! :wacko: Thats all! Bug

I'm done! Landing gears, gear bay doors, pods and the AIM-9's were finished. Its been an enjoyable build and I'm proud to be part of this GB. Comments welcome!

I don't believe myself. I am almost done! 90% of the model is done and it is awaiting the flat coat and the landing gears. Decals went on beautifully and I'm pleased with how it turned out. Comments welcome!

Why, thanks AggressorSupporter, thats very kind (: Major progress today: Painting time! Dark and light ghost gray sprayed onto the airframe, hand painted the silver and white. Currently rushing to reach the deadline and will work overnight to complete. Paint was still drying when these pics were taken... Enjoy!

Update: Wheel wells have been masked and sprayed white. I used post-its to mask the areas around the bays and made use of Tamiya's White Primer. It turned out rather nicely and the details in the bays are very visible. Bug

Update: Burner cans and ejection seat done along with a scratchbuilt oxygen hose for the pit. Glued into the fuselage now... with the IFF antennas removed. Comments and suggestions welcome!

Hello all :lol: As you can see, this is my first documented build on ARC. For starters, 1 question: Is the Centreline fuel tank provided in this kit the late-style one and if it is not how should I modify it? Primer is on and pictures will come soon. Thanks Bug

Its a bit late but may I join with a 1/72 Academy F/A-18C in VMFA-122 Crusaders from MAW decals? Thanks. Bug

Yeah mark! Tell us where you found it. I'm singaporean too and im gonna have a scavenger hunt! Bug

Hi all, I was just wondering, what kind of loadouts can a bug fit? Is it possible to do a loadout consisting of JDAMs with a 2 GBU-12s on a VER? Thanks alot! Bug

Thanks for the info. I am currently using the Italeri kit and it is definitely a pain in my exhaust. So will it be the same as for the degree of 'toe out'? Thanks again. Bug

Hi all, I know i should toe out the pylons for increased accuracy, but what degree should I toe it out until? I'm sorry if this question popped out before.. my search function found nothing on the radar. All help will be much appreciated. And also, if you have some pics of the VFA-213 Factory scheme bird, please post 'em up! Thanks. Bug

Could you please assist me by telling me what colours you use for your AMRAAMs and if possible post some refs? Thanks alot Bug

Nicely done man! The cockpit does look like it was in 1/48 scale. (I love the 'beautiful game' too mate!) Bug
