phantom Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) Just received a Revell putty monster. So as its a challenge I will attempt a very hard aggressor scheme. Leaning towards VFC-12 Splinter but we will see what happens as I build. Edited November 1, 2014 by phantom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Not that much of a putty monster. Lots of flash and looks no where near as good as a Hasegawa. But it is better then the last Revell Hornet I did a bunch of years ago. If I can find more of these I think I might pick them up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tosouthern66 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Phantom How many will this make? I lost count on your builds Sir! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colin K Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Shawn....don't forget to fill in the square vents behind the cockpit. They aren't on production Hornets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 This will be Hornet #59. My third Revell one. Colin, yep I have to buy more putty first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 I am building this one more like everyone else does. As it has so many colours and so much masking to do. The landing gear will go on later. First colour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Second colour. Plus after its on I found 3 things I all ready need to fix from the first colour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Now, a lot of repairs and fiddily stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 But the shape is not bad, the Monogram Hornet is not so bad, you just have to "like" raised panel lines. Here it is again in the revell programm and has decals for a swiss bird. You can get it at about 15 Euro (Hasegawa: around 50!!!). So when you are building that fast and quick like Phantom, it can relax the wallet! Ok, you maybe need a bot more putty...but also Hase is not perfect and no shake and bake!

phantom Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 I like the Revell for the hard paint jobs like this one. Add some left over Hasegawa parts like the do-dads for the flaps and RWRs and it adds up pretty nice. Only real thing I notice off is the radome and like you say the raised panel lines.

Colin K Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 That is a wicked paint scheme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Thanks, someone else did this scheme recently and his looks better. But.......Mine is not awful. I kind of like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I kind of like it. Planned on doing this same kit in this scheme as soon as Revell sends me a new canopy. Looking good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Revell F-18C with Fightertown decals. Looks like day old dog vom compared to some others recently finished here on ARC........But here it is anyway. Group shot of my VFC-12 F-18s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
