phantom Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Next up, a 1/48 Kinetic F-18C which I will backdate to a CF-18AM in the 2012 demo scheme from Above and Below decals. This scheme is not yet available to buy. But should be if I can get it too work ok on my model. After Above and Below tweaks things here and there. Great decal company, test the product first, (my job) adjust as required, then put them up for sale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) Cool build.... and a fun opportunity to use decals which have yet to be released. I will be watching since I want to build a Kinetic hornet and I want to see how you like it. Edited July 15, 2022 by Kurt H. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 So far so good. See how the top fits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 Roof fits. Might need a little putty, but this model is going together MUCH better then my last Kinetic Hornet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 thanks Phantom. It is shaping up quickly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thadeus Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Almost missed it! Nice work. I have a dual seater planned as soon as I finish my Revell SH. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for You with the windscreen! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 Yes, I remember the windscreen can be fun. This one is coming alone pretty good. Going to put on a little paint before dinner. Main landing gear seemed a little weak. Hopefully it dried harder by now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 Think the blue will need another go. Dont think its dark enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 Went insignia blue, not enough difference to warrant a photo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 OK, these soon to be released decals turned out much better then I thought. I gave Above and Below my notes, but am VERY happy with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 All done! That was fast even for you. that is a really cool scheme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 Yeah, very nice simple, hardly any putty, except just forward of the windshield. Decals turned out great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
