Hajo L. Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Revell 1/72 F/A-18E Super Hornet. A very nice model, basically OOB, except for the pilot and the AGM-84E. The two-seater will be my next project. HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tosouthern66 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Outstanding! Is all I can say!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thadeus Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Here's one more from me, Hasegawa 1/72 F/A-18 F, VFA-102 NF102 2005, 50th anniversary markings from VFA-102 History Combo. I guess from all the Hornet kits, I like the Hasegawa Super Hornets most. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) 1/48 Hasegawa CF-188B Hornet with Leading Edge decals and Black Box cockpit. This next shot is the new plane with one I did 10 or 15 years ago. But I repainted it with another Leading Edge sheet I had. The old one was built ok but not painted well. Here it is, repainted and back on the shelf. Edited December 4, 2014 by phantom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thadeus Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Here are two more from me, first 1/72 Academy F/A-18 A+ VMFA-115 AC200 from around 2004, Superscale Decals Some problems were encountered with the spine decals, but nothing I could not handle. Seat is from Aires and Main Landing Gear is from Italeri Hornet - fits like a glove ;) Here's the shot on the landing gear, check the in progress thread for some comparison shots.

Thadeus Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 And the second one - 1/72 Academy F/A-18 C, VMFA-312 AC200 from around 2009, Authentic decals. I've used resin seat from Pavla, and I've modified the kit main landing gear so it would resemble the real one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hobby Boss 1/48 F-18B with Two Bobs decals. A photo of just VFC-12 Hornets.......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thadeus Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I guess its the last one for me in this GB, and the last one in 2014, 1/72 Academy F/A-18 C VFA-146 NG300 from around 2001 - 2002. I've used Print Scale decals which were awesome, very thin and durable - the flag on the nose caused minimal problems to align perfectly. Other than lack of one set of modex numbers (I've had to buy another sheet for them), no crew names and renaming the carrier as USS John C Stehng they were quite good. I've modified the carrier name to look more like it should but it did not came out too good. I've also used Pavla resin SJU-17 and modified the landing gear as per my previous build.
