Marcel111 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) This is a truly beautiful build, the weathering is one of the most realistic efforts I have ever seen. Since this is critique corner... my only critique would be the loadout, seems a little bit of a stretch to have a dummy Aim-9 with live A/G loads. On the rudders, seems to me that on Supers you can do whatever you want with them, they seem to point in all kinds of random directionsnwhen parked. :thumbsup:/> Marcel Edited September 5, 2015 by Marcel111 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jward Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Simply one of the best Super Hornet's I've ever seen. Love the load out and the weathering in particular. You nailed it! One question - what aircraft base did you use? Is is scratch-built or an aftermarket kit?? I'm building a Has. 1/48 "E" Super Hornet (VFA-25 CAG) and would love to have a realistic base to place its on. Yours is perhaps the most realistic I've seen.

Parabat Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Incredibly realistic and beautifully photgraphed model, a real pleasure to pore over and try to absorb all the detail work that's gone into this exceptional model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Roof Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 my only critique would be the loadout, seems a little bit of a stretch to have a dummy Aim-9 with live A/G loads.Marcel Actually, it's not a stretch at all as it is quite common during peacetime training operations, especially during CAX and WTI. The squadrons training requirements, as well as their FY NCEA (non-combat expenditure allocation) plays a part in determining what live ordnance gets expended. For many of the live ordnance training evolutions, CATM-9's are carried. I've also been a part of missile shoots (both in Hawaii and Key West), where live AIM-9 and AIM-7 were carried along with BDU-45 inert 500lb bombs.
