J.Fenech Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) How do you make those perfect missile stripes? Thanks. Those stripes are actually decals, trimmed and applied on a gloss base. Edited November 23, 2013 by J.Fenech Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Check Six Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Good Evening, this is my post in this forum. Hasegawa 1/48th scale, mostly out of box build, resin ejection seats and aftermarket decals and weapons. Thanks Joseph Beautiful work you've done there ! I have a question regarding the weapon load on station #3 on the port wing with dual bombs: Have you seen or have a pic of a Super Hornet using that set up? As one who will be building several Super Hornets, I'm always looking for different loadouts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J.Fenech Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 Thanks. Regarding the dual gbu mounts I am not 100% sure for the F but definitely 100% seen on dual mounts on the F/A-18D.(in pics) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Maverick Taylor Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Something I just noted about your loudout and positioning of the weapon pylons. On all Super Hornets, the weapon mounts are angled outwards by 4 degrees from the aircrafts centreline due to aerodynamic distrubances noted during weapon seperation trials during the development stages. The weapon mounts on stations 2 and 10 (outboard most pylons) are also canted outwards from the vertical plain by 3.5 degrees. I know that Hasegawa replicated the 4 degree angle on the wings by the placement of the locating holes for the pylons but did you angle the outboard pylons outwards slightly? I understood that Hasegawa also built this into the parts by having the mating joint angled on the pylon. If anything it may appear that you've put the wrong pylon on the side as the AMRAAMS appear to be engled inwards towards the LGBs.

J.Fenech Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Thanks Andrew for your input. Had to double check on your assumptions but both other pylons are in their correct attitude with both amraams pointing outward, with the most clear being on the amraam next to the JDAM. It must be camera angle combined with the look of the double load, as on the model it is pointing outwards of the gbu. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
