Dave Roof Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Build will be updated daily on my Facebook page and will be updated here every few days. One of the many 'next' projects on the bench. Hasegawa 1/48 F/A-18C with a bunch of aftermarket from Flying Leathernecks Decals, Res.kit - accessories for modeling - UA, Royale Resin, Reedoak, Wolfpack-Design, Eduard Model Accessories, MASTER, Infini-model, AIRES HOBBY MODELS and Rhino Modelworks. Photo 1 : All the goodness! Photo 2 : Relevant parts removed from parts trees and laid out. Photo 3 : After a couple hours of careful work with a file and sanding sticks, with a lot of dry fitting, the starboard intake is in place. Photo 4 : The Reedoak Pilot. An absolute work of art! Model will depict an aircraft from VMFA-251 as it appeared during the squadrons 2015 deployment aboard the USS Roosevelt in support of Operation Inherent Resolve.

Dave Roof Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 Not a whole lot done, but both intakes are installed. Careful sanding and a lot of dry fitting got an almost perfect fit of the fuselage sides to the bottom piece. A bit more putty and sanding work will get everything smoothed out. The bottom wing halves were modified to simply slide in after the top fuselage half is attached to the bottom. More to be done this week! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
