chuck540z3 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 That is, bar none, the nicest paint job I've ever seen on a Hornet. One suggestion, if I may, is that the "rust" streaks on the wings are a bit too harsh. Just a little! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Not really, Chuck ... >>> Clicky <<< I've seen even more staining than that on some Marine Hornets ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Youngtiger1 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Wow, that baby is looking fine. Honaz you're doing a great job with this. I'm amazed how fast this is being done. I bet your hobby room is full of build models. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anders_Isaksson Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Lovely work! Looking forward to seeing this one come together. Cheers, Anders Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fuji Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Honza - that is one beautiful Hornet and I don't just say that because its in Spanish markings. Very nice to see someone do a EdA jet and you've done a great job with the HobbyBoss kit. One of the things I love about the EdA is how dirty some of their jets jet. They are real work horses over there, not show pieces. http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=6668435 http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=6689999 http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=6607216 I think that weathering will give a judge a heart attack Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fuji Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) Many thanks gentlemans!viagra effect... :-D Oops - Sorry to nit-pick but to do this jet right, you need to remove the launch bar from the nose gear - check out the image below http://www.airliners.net/photo/Spain---Air...18B+/1278220/L/ Edited June 4, 2010 by Fuji Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Honza K. Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 Hi, thank you. Color for oil streaks was brown (from SEA camo) gunze + mix with black.... Number I can write you tonight... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zeeman Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 "Eso es un caza muy bonito porque tú trabajas para mucho tiempo a la EF-18B hornet y el resultado es fenomenal" people from Spain might say, great work my eastern neighbour. Love it how you created the dirt/oil on both wings, outstanding. Few parts are left but apparently they won't be a challenge. Keep up the good work. 8million thumbs up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
speedlimit Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Honza that hornet turned out so beautiful. Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
