Aigore Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Alright, another sneak build :P This was however built at a Styrene Addicts Summer Camp we held in May. We were ten and something middle aged men gathered at a Scout House in the middle of the forrest nort east of Gothenburg. There we built models, pulled bad jokes and counted rivets all night long for a weekend...in total peace and liberty :P Anyways, I put together this Kuwaiti F/A-18D Hornet...had it pretty much done but the paint job during the weekend :D Oh and I got an Honorarymention for it at the Gothenburg model show a couple of weeks ago. Here´s some pics.... More in part 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Janissary Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Looks very nice. It looks really great in that color scheme. I wish your your photos had a little more light to them but all in all a great looking model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanx Janissary :D Intentionally done darker, I thought they made the light aircraft pop more against the black paper background and it took the shine out of the paper and made it look silky.

Fighting Eighty-Four Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 That is beautiful! I love the unusual subject matter and markings. ...And to think that it was built in a weekend boggles my mind! That "modeling weekend getaway" is a great idea. It sounds like it would be a ton of fun! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanx Fighting Eighty-four :D You do get productive in the right surroundings and with the right kind of support :) I really recommend having a modelling weekend with your friends once a year...no kids, no spouses, no dogs, no neighbours. All models, BBQ, unhealthy food and drink, snacks, we had a space for two-three ppl to paint at the same time... Heck, here's a link to the event ...text in Swedish though http://ipmsgoteborg.clubdiscussion.net/t4292-plaskollot-2015-i-pojkebo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Janne, A Most impressive build. Just no prop. Your usual outstanding weathered paint camo scheme, done to perfection. Sure looked like a lot of fun. I did notice the NY Yankee baseball hat, which I'm a life long fan of. Almost never miss a game. So what's your next jet build gonna be?
