ShaunBD Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) I'm in the process of planning to build a VFC-12 aggressor Hornet, but need a little help from the Hornet experts. The FighterTown sheet has markings for- 00 -164663 03 -164632 07 -164647 I'm going to build one of these in the Flanker scheme,but need to know what airframe blocks these are and what airframe mods are needed- Vent types?,Seat type?,C/F buckets(they appear to have only the single box fitted?), Lumps and bumps? Cheers Shaun. Edited March 30, 2013 by ShaunBD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian P: Fightertown Decals Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 NACES seats blade antennas on the nose of 06/07. Not on 00/03. Mesh gun vents fishbone/ slanted LEX vents Antenna arrangement as shown in profiles - slanted blade upper/lower, GPS Single chaff/flare buckets No 'L' braces inside tails No vertical tail long brace infront of formation lights. hope that helps. Got tons of walkarounds. I'll see if I have anything uploaded in Photobucket. -brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lt Col James Rhodes Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) Not sure what time frame you're modeling, but VFC-12 has turned in their Cs and is now flying A+ models. Edited March 30, 2013 by Lt Col James Rhodes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So if using the 1/48th Hasegawa kit you need to fill the L brackets on the inside of the tails and remove the F/A-18 A/B fairings ahead of the U/C bay and use the single C/F bucket in the kit. And add a GPS dot on the spine. Shaun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
