falcon20driver Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'm just starting this kit, and I can only hope it is half as good as yours. That is a stunning build! The paint looks as real as anything I've seen. What build order did you use on the upper/lower fuselage sections and nose sections to join them all together? Did you join the fuselage sections then add the nose section or more closer follow the suggested order from the instructions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

More than likely I went with the instructions. Thank you for your comments. Rod Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zark Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Ok...where is the "model" you are all talking about???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike C Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) That's bogus! I don't see any model pic. Only a single real life line bird (presumably your reference pic?). C'mon! Where's the model pic? Edited March 5, 2014 by Mike C Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BeeJee Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Very, very nice and fantastic in the way you photograph it. Edited March 6, 2014 by BeeJee Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhinolover Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Beautiful build and fantastic pictures. You did an outstanding job on the Hornet. Since you posted in the critique forum I hope you don't mind me pointing out one issue that sticks out to me. The modex numbers on the nose are reversed. The numbers should slant to the rear and not forward. Again, very nice build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thats the reason I dont post on the "critique" forum...the Server would be overloaded :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Hegedus Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Since it is in the critique forum, I'll point out that the bomb racks on a Hornet or Super Hornet do not have safety pins or RBF tags on the pylons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NavyPhantoms Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 The photography is great. I thought it was the real A/C when I saw it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Karl Sander Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Nicely done and wonderfully staged photos - I had to double check the forum title because for a hot second I thought it was a reference pic post! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Awesome paint job...very realistic! Also, top notch photography, you nailed it. Happy Modeling! Don. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just4kiks Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I was shocked to see that that was actually a model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Just4kiks Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hello, Here are a couple of pictures of my Hasegawa F-18F. Ummm, you mean Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Kudos to the Modeller AND the fotographer!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor01 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 The only way I could tell it was a model is the horizontal stabilizers aren't drooped. Amazing photography Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Check Six Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Between your model building skills and the pic composition, your Super Hornet is a dead-ringer of the real deal ! Excellent work on your Super Hornet indeed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jinxter13 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'm liking this one very, very much :thumbsup: . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Maverick Taylor Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Completely agree with everything that has been said already. Stunning build. Apart from the numbers slanting the wrong way, which really hadn't occured to me, the outboard pylons for stations 2 and 10 are not slanted outwards. All wing mounted pylons on the Super Hornet angle outwards from the centreline by 4 degrees. The outboard pylons also angle outwards by 4 degrees but they also angle outwards in the vertical axis by 3.5 degrees. You haven't mentioned what scale your model is by I know having built many of the 1:72 Hasegawa Supas, that the outward angle has been replicated but is not mentioned in the instructions and some test fitting is required to figure out which pylon goes on which side. This is a mere accuracy thing so don't listen to me!!! Your build quality is certainly top notch. Well done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
