CardsFan Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Hi AFM. Great looking Hornet; love the asymmetric loadout with the dual 55 racks on the port wing. Just as nice as the Hornets you had at the AtlantaCon 2021 show last month. Keep up the good work, and hope to catch up with you at the next Atlanta show in March.

AlienFrogModeller Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 RBF and Loaded Flags This is how I thread them... Using a .3 mm drill bit I pre drill a small hole in the flag. The I carefully push the thread through the predrilled hole. Then I clamp in my tweezers with an clamp (flat)... and then place a drop of CA near the tweezer tip. For the Loaded flag I glued the thin EZ Line to the end of the flag, let set. The once done I hand printed LOADED on the flag, practice can be seen next to the flag... Then cut to length the EZ Line and glue in place, tip.. Place you bug upside down and let gravity work for you. My boss told me once when I was a young Pte...work hard but smarter and harder is better. Yes be both smart and a hard worker not like those AVS type who only work smartly...not very hard workers. LOL...when you know...you know. Yes on 3d printed pins. The ac structure was drilled out with a .3mm drill bit and they fit inside perfectly, using Krystal Klear "glue" as it dries really fast when used in very small amounts.

Scooby Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Awesome stuff Bear, we clearly liked the same tail numbers. You should build one of our creaky old hangars, I’ve always wanted to do a corner section or a portion of the hangar with the big Lynx on the floor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's my retirement project...with a whole Hangar of Hornets, with two in phase one on jacks one with two engines out.
