jester292 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Looks great! How did you make the landing gear so realistic? That is always the weak point on my models. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

speedlimit Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Awesome built! Just one question though. On a C hornet, do they still need to have the 6 L brackets inside the vert tail? I thought they were just for the A/B version. Still a beauty! Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yorch Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Beautiful Hornet, Great scheme, amazing detail and very pleasing weathering and finnish. I love it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spad Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 First class. Which resin cockpit is that? It's a Aires cockpit for C cersion Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought they were just for the A/B version. Still a beauty! Eric I also noticed that some C does not have the L brackets inside the vertical tail but looking at this photo you can see and then I placed them too. http://images4.hiboox.com/images/3708/f0fcb0a5869f89db693b1fbd4e6ee1a4.jpg P.S. I just put the link because I do not know if I can post the pictures as a matter of copyright. Can anyone tell me if the next time I do this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vicenzo, Looking at the picture it sure has the L brackets! Great catch. Ciao, Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coneheadff Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 That's a great looking Hornet!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Diego Quijano Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 That´s a nice F-18 for sure. Great job Vincenzo. Q Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spad Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Thanks again to everyone for your compliments. :) That´s a nice F-18 for sure. Great job Vincenzo. Q Diego is an honor to receive a positive opinion from you, your Spanish / German F-104 for me is a moral guidance to do better. I gained a lot of information and ideas for my next models Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.linus Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Wow! This is awesome! I love the base! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bulldog 09 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Bravo Ciao, Your Hornet is a masterpiece Sir. You nailed it perfectly, especially the fuel stains on the tarmac. Every Hornet I've been around leaks like a sieve. How did you recreate them if you don't mind me asking? Dave Fassett Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spad Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 How did you recreate them if you don't mind me asking? On a black acrylic base I added shading with Tamiya smoke and then I gave with the airbrush the future trying to reproduce what I saw in the photos. Thanks again for the compliments! :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
