Flip01 Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Hi, Here are a couple of pictures of my Hornet. I'm building a Canadian bird out of this one. Aftermarket stuff: Leading Edge decals Blackbox cockpit First picture is one of the nose wheel well Although most F-18's are kept clean, I found some pictures of some really dirty ones.... and that's how I'm going to do mine.

Flip01 Posted November 13, 2003 Author Share Posted November 13, 2003 this is a picture of the left main gear leg. I've added hydraulic lines using copper wire. Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip01 Posted November 13, 2003 Author Share Posted November 13, 2003 I'm going to put a pilot in the seat ... for a change I'm converting the pilot that comes with the kit into a canadian pilot. The head comes from one of the crew members. The hands come from a historex Agents set. I had to chop the poor guys legs off in order to get him to fit into the ejection seat, the legs will be repositioned afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
