Nev Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Well, here's tonight's update on the frustratingly slow Hornet project. Someday I'm going to write a hypothesis on why the last 10% of a model takes 90% of the time. Landing gear, doors, and weapons painting work mostly... An older, wiser (and more talented) modeller once explained this theory to me. His solution was to do all these things at the beginning. He was right - it seems to go much quicker that way.

Waco Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Well, I can finally call these two complete. Put the final details on them tonight. Here are some interim pics, I'll be taking better ones with improved lighting and such tomorrow. Thanks for taking a look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GreyGhost Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Very nice, Waco ! Love the loadouts on both, diverse looking ot say the least ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TomcatFanatic123 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Those are two AWESOME looking Hornets, Waco! The Vikings bird is sweet, but my favorite would have to be the Aussie one...I like the loadout on that one. I may have missed it in the thread somewhere (and I feel silly asking this question), but what's on the wingtips of the Aussie bird? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Two Mikes Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hey dude, those look sweet!! I have to admit that I too am partial to the Aussie one as you just rarely see Hornets built in Down Under markings. So whats next on the docket? Cheers Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tilt Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Very nice Waco. Love the look of that Aussie jet!! It makes me want to do something other than a Canadian or US Hornet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Very nice work with the builds Waco. I didn't know pilots could build things, I thought you just broke our jets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shadowy_one Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 WACO FYI - IF you want to know (its your model) but the 23 on the inner tails of the RAAF "18" is actually the decal for the nose wheel doors. the 23 on the inside of the tails on 75 sqn jets is slanted 23 pic below http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-phot...2/5/1057522.jpg copyright Darren Mottram Quote Link to post Share on other sites
