CarlR Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) This is the Revell Germany release of their 1/144 scale F/A-18C Hornet. Because the intention was to have the model completed in "in flight" mode the landing gear was omitted as was all the armament. The wooden base was painted black and given a gloss coat. Two short sections of aluminum tubing were secured so that the appropriately sized clear acrylic tubing could be inserted later. Some tubing was also secured in the tail section of the model. I heated the acrylic rods in boiling water and gently bent them to the desired curvature. The fit of the rods into the tubing is loose/tight enough that I can vary the banking angle of the model to change the look of the display. Too bad there wasn't a pilot figure in the kit to compliment the "in flight" pose. Edited April 19, 2018 by CarlR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
