zark Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Great piece of madelling...well done. One question though, is it an actual weapons load or you just made it up, becouse I have'nt seen that combo before. Once again fantastic job... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxtwo Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 just the Maverick was added at the load, for the rest it's a conventional load. Pat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scot M Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Gorgeous work Pat!! How hard was it to get the cockpit and wheelbays to fit together? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxtwo Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 thanks for your comments ! well, about the legendary fit of Aires...this one is as good as the others......specially when adding the two electronics bays......you'll have to sand both parts, resin/plastic and stop when you can see the light through.......also the wheel bays are too short for the F version, looks like they are made for the old A/C serie ......

Ken Middleton Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 very nice Pat! I like the addition of the guy in the cockpit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dekon70 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Looks great. I have a picture that I took at the Arizona Memorial of the rear half of the jet hanging over the side of the Kitty Hawk when I was in Hawaii July 2008. My wife actually asked me why that one jet was painted red. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aggressor Supporter Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Very neat seeing the unique body position the ground crew is in in the Hornet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedFlag Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Absolutely stunning work and good choice on the marking too. Definitely one of the best F-18F work in 48 scale. More pics pls!!! ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JMan Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Foxtwo, I think that there is only one thing wrong with your model, and well its that it isnt mine! WOW, what an amazing job! Your builds are always works of art! Thanks for showing us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toniosky Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Absolutely awesome ! How did u prepare the surface of your bombs to get this grainy effect? Did you use Mr Surfacer? or maybe you bought them like that :lol: ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxtwo Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 nope, just brush some Tamiya liquid glue over to soften a max the plastic and then "tap" with an old flat brush over...... Pat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
