Allok Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Type... F-18A Hornet Scale... 1/32 Manufacturer... Revell (and Tamiya putty) My aim... Get it done!!!!! What stopped the build?.. Lack of motivation. What do I think would help my build get through to completion?.. Paint, decals, you guys. Large Scale Planes; In Progress I got right up to the point of painting this thing and then decided I didn't like the pylons that I had built. Months later I made new ones and then a few months after that, I etched some panel lines into them. A year or so after that, I contacted Jeff roberts and bought some external fuel tanks. Then a shelf fell on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allok Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Thought I better include some more recent pics. The old box and a few extra bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allok Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 This the same kit as Jerrys (No, you can't have my tail hook. But considering how much I had to modify mine, you may as well scratch-build a new one) The condition it's in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allok Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 I actually have a set of low viz data decals for this as well as a nice set of aftermarket markings. I wanted to make it look a bit like this; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian A Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 [Then a shelf fell on it. Great comic timing mate! Come on though, Keith, ANZAC goes back further than ANZUS! Do her as an Aussie bird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allok Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 Do her as an Aussie bird! Acually not a bad idea. Think I'll stick with the scheme I've got... unless someone out there has an Ozzy low-viz scheme that they would be willing to part with.?? I wasn't kidding about the shelf, destroyed 7 planes in one go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOTR Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Oh, I know that awful feeling, a collapsing shelf burried most of my collection at some point. My sympathies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Argh, the dreaded falling shelf! I cringe at the thought! Anyway, the bird is looking good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Matt Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 When I get home I'll check for Aussie low viz schemes. I think I have some from Damien @ Aussie Decals. Cheers Matty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Matt Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 OK..back home. I'll have spare on this sheet all except A21-29 (Magpie). I have a pet Magpie that comes like a dog when I whistle. He's 'almost' eating out of my hand. A very cool bird. Drop me an PM with your ady and I'll lob them in the post to Kiwi Land. cheers Matty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allok Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 Slight change of plan. With a little help from Matty, I might have a go at making it look a bit like this; Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
