F/A-18A VFC-12 Fighting Omars


Recommended Posts

I started at the beginning of the GB and had to put it down to build 3 other models. Thought I would post some progress shots to prove, I am actually working on it!

Two bobs decals, Xtracrylix paints, Cutting Edge cockpit and Seamless suckers intakes.

The very slight discoloration on the LERX is really impressive! This build is awesome, I can't wait to see it finished.

I found some picture that had this effect so I went with it. Simple method, first I painted the area with a slightly darker gray (36231) and it still seemed a little light. To make it better while still masked, I used Tamiya weathering stick "mud" and put a light amount of that color.

That is a great looking hornet. I love that scheme.

Those wouldn't be my decals by any chance would they?? I traded them to somebody..and I think it was you.

Scheme is cool, I put away a different VFC-12 for the gray ones. I think I picked them up from Two Bobs as soon as they were available IIRC.
