neu Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Hi there! I'm new to this group build! I hope you like my stuff, I'm keeping updating. This is revell's 1/144 F/A-18C, one of the few kits that worth spending money in this scale. It's a very nice kit, and this was the reason why I decided to superdetail it. I've made several mods and detailing. Some of them: - Folded wings with folding mechanism (still in progress) - Dropped Slats and flaps, stabilizers, rudders - Scratchbuilt "winglets" (near behind the canopy, I don't know what is it in english) - Scratchbuilt flap "joints" on the fuselage (still don't know what is it in english :) ) - Added all the seatbelts and other details to the ejection seat - Detailed canopy opening mechanism and area behind the seat - Scratchbuilt "humps and bumps" (small sensors/antennas or whatever :) ) - Modofied pylons more to come... Just for size comparsion: 1/32 A-10A Cockpit :) Finished preshading I hope you guys like it! Greetings, neu Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neu Posted September 2, 2004 Author Share Posted September 2, 2004 Here's an update of my hornet. It has decals representing the VFA-195 Dambusters CAG Bird (NF-100, USS Kitty Hawk/NAS Atsugi). Not too much comment this time...starting weathering :huh: This time a 1 cent as size reference for my modeler friends in the US I hope you like it!

Nev Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Thats amazing work in this scale neu! :huh: BTW is it me, or is the nose of the Hornet in this kit too long? This isn't a personal criticism of you neu, every build of this kit I've seen the nose doesn't look right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neu Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 I don't think it's too long, but there are some problems with the shape from an angle...by the way it's far the most accurate Hornet on the market in this scale. All others has problems overall Greetings, neu :huh: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
