McDonnell Douglas F/A-18A Hornet

[Trojan Thunder]

This is a shelf of doomer I just finished,  built from the 1/72 Hasegawa- Minicraft boxing of the Hornet. Decals for FSD #2 Bu No. 160776 OOB

that's a scheme you don't see much of these days. Nice work on it Ray! I also think that's the first time I've seen a fighter come off your work bench...

Speaking of your bench, when's the next C-17 update coming?

Very nice!  The landing gear sure stand out as different from production aircraft.

Thanks, gents.

 

Si, I have a few fighters in the cabinet, my last few completions have been Matchbox single engined props believe it or not. It is nice to build something OOB and fairly quickly.

 

 

I got C-17 burn out again, but I may progress on it over the Christmas break. next challenge is getting the ramp parts in and hiding the terrible internal seam in the cargo bay.

 

As for the landing gear on the Hornet, I think Hasegawa did not get it quite right on this early mould kit.

Very nicely done. Always great to hear that another Shelf Queen finally made it across the finish line.
