Hey Guys -
I decided to get going on my Hornet build. This will be Blue Angel #7 using the Meng kit and using Furball Decals. I will be using the Eduard Seats and wheels, Flying Leathernecks Wingtip launchers as aftermarket (so far)
The issue (not really an issue as most aircraft don't have it anymore) with the Meng kit is that they do not include the non-ACS rear panel. I decided to use the Hasegawa kit version. It looks like it will fit with no issues.
I started with the rear cockpit coaming and scratch-built the camera that is installed.
