tosouthern66 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 907 still flying? I saw it in storage in Trenton a couple years ago. Phantom You joining us on this quest? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 With the understanding that this is a heavily doctored photo by McDonnell Douglas, I was thinking I might do this scheme for this GB. Or is this too much of a 'what if' ?? We actually own one of those jets now, I think it is test aircraft #5, which was used in spin testing. It no longer flies, but is a trainer in Camp Borden. It has full Canadian markings. I trained on it my last visit to Borden. I just hope the historical significance of the jet is never lost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 907 still flying? I saw it in storage in Trenton a couple years ago. I as told 907 was broken up, not sure why but that is what I was told. Hope the info isn't correct, it had an interesting scheme. Should have been saved for a museum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Snap Captain Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I'm doing a Hasegawa 1/48 F/A-18E from VF-143. Gotsta love those Pukin Dogs! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyboyf18 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 907 still flying? I saw it in storage in Trenton a couple years ago. Well I must say I haven't been keeping up on it's history! BUT, if it is storage or worse, broken up then I must do the final scheme!!! I do know the bird had a lot of flying time on it's frame! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

White Wolf Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I couldn't find the kit for the prototype so I'm just going to settle with a standard A model, either an Australian or a Spanish example. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tosouthern66 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Kurn My plan is for the following: 1/72 in stash F/A-18A VFA-151 (Hasegawa) F/A-18A VFA-192 (Hasegawa) F/A-18A VFA-195 (Hasegawa) F/A-18C VFA-151 (Hasegawa) F/A-18C VFA-192 (Hasegawa) F/A-18D ? (Hasegawa) F/A-18D ? (Academy) F/A-18E VFA-31 (Hasegawa) F/A-18E VFA-14 (Hasegawa) 1/72 If I can swing the money F/A-18B ? (Hasegawa) F/A-18F VFA-103 (Hasegawa) F/A-18F ? (Hasegawa) EA-18G VAQ-136 If decals are available (Hasegawa) This doesnt include the 1/48 kits I have. You cant go wrong no matter which marking you use! Better yet do all three!!!! Looks like my decal plan has gone south for life! Tried to use my VFA-161 decals on my warm up bird and they are too old and fell apart. So I will be building all five kits in C model. Looking at VFA-151,VFA-192,VFA-146 and if I can figure out how to do the multi color gray camoflage paint scheme VFA-86. Looks like my CVW-5 Hornet reunion is out the window.

plasticWerks_JL Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) I think I'd like to give this a try! NOOB ALERT! Right now I have a couple Academy and Hasegawa Hornets (in 1:72), but for this build I'll choose one of my Hasegawa's (either the F/A-18A, -C, or -D model) and use either some decals from the stash, or order an aftermarket set. I'll make my final decision before the build starts. If there's anything else I need to do to get ready for participation in the group build, please feel free to clue me in! -JL Edited June 25, 2014 by plasticWerks_JL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
