Looks great! I did this jet in 72nd scale using the Academy kit, and some Wolfpack resin wings with the drooped flaps. Unfortunately, I really goofed the wings up, so I'll probably redo it at some point. It should look awesome in 32nd scale if you can find the kit. Just FYI, if you can't find the Academy D version in 32nd scale, the Kinetic kit in the pic attached is the Academy kit with all of the parts necessary to build an A/B/C or D. During my build of the green Hornet I dropped the canopy and put a nice big crack in it. I contacted Academy for a replacement, but after a year a

I had two sets of the Aires exhaust cans and neither fit. To be sure that it wasn't just me, I tried them on a second kit, and had the same issue. I'm glad that they worked for you. Your Hornet looks great! Love the tiger scheme 👍 Fred.

I'm currently working on an NSAWC A model now, and have bought the Reskit exhausts, which are much better and

Hi Tracy, I currently have Titan's 757-200 under construction now, though I'm not doing any work on it at the moment. I've thought about getting the 777 as well. I too will likely pass on the A380, although the thought of building one is intriguing. I will definitely be picking up the C-5 when it becomes available! Where I'd put it is anyone's guess 🤣 Fred.

I'm tempted just for the sheer size of it, but will probably just wait for their forthcoming C-5 instead. Fred.

It would be a handful for sure 🤣 Fred.
