Awesome! HAJO

This is what I did to my B-52G when I built the kit some years ago. Sorry about the photobucket-logos, if you need better pictures, just let me know. HAJO Sorr

Even though it´s heavily "canadasized", it still looks fairly aggressive to me! HAJO

Are you going to work on the front window as well? HAJO

Great idea with the engines! HAJO

Nice stuff - all I need now is the 1/700 USS Enterprise that had been announced by Dragon/Cyberhobby several years ago... HAJO

Excellent work, really like every aspect of it! HAJO

Yeah, propably in my first post.... 😉 HAJO

It would be indeed possible to build the kit without glue! You can snap all parts together. But I still used glue, just to be sure, and to close smaller gaps. HAJO

You may have heard, the Luftwaffe needs a replacement for the aging Tornados, and while the F-15 and the F-35 have been already removed from the competition, the F-18 (it´s unclear in which configuration, EF-18G would be good since it would fulfill the Tornado ECR-role - and it already has a "G" in the dsignation 😉 ) and an updated Eurofighter are still in the game. So, I will assume the EF-18 has "won" and will do a german Hornet! I already did the instrument panels and the cockpit tub. I realized that this must be some sort of "snap together"-kit, since most of the parts have some pin that fits into their counterpart. Details look good, though, and it looks like this will be a rather quick build. HAJO

The Airfix-kit is really nice, but it lacks some detail on the outside in my opinion. Especially the surface structure looks "too clean" on the Airfix, while Revell has a lot of rivets. This is the Revell kit (I scratched a Sikorsky Sea King out of the Westland): This is the Airfix HC.4 Commando: This is the Fujimi: And this is the Sea King HC.4 of Dragon/Cyberhobby: HAJO

Did you use some decal softener solution on these? HAJO

Yeah, low-viz... HAJO

Great result, well worth the work! HAJO

Go for it! 🙂 HAJO
