F/A -18E Super Hornet Trumpeter kit 1:32

Hi to all

Here are the first shots of the Super Hornet. As you can see, Eduard has done a good work even if some of the details of the dashboard (watches) I preferred to apply on the back, a thin film of polish to get the glass effect and a few drops of Future wax on the main quadrants to highlight the most.

 

The ejection seat is proposed by Trumpeter sufficiently acceptable and so I concentrated more on the set of belts by Eduard photoetched.

Very complete and perfect especially in painting but I've not found very easy to assemble.

 

The side panels are all made of photoengraving self-adhesive and are complete with stencils and other details of the model height.

 

Thanks for your attention and watching my work.

George

Hi all.

Thanks for the comments I've really appreciated.

Finally, thanks to innovations introduced in this month from DXM decals: http://www.dxmdecal....-18e-super.html, I decided to finish the model with which cam: USN F/A-18E Super Hornet VFA137 Kestrels CAG digital cam. here some pics :http://www.flickr.co...ell/6282451772/, http://www.flickr.co...ell/6288130000/

This is a set of very particular composed of five sheets treated by Cartograf.

I decided to build the car body of the Vulcan cannon and so I'm waiting for the model M61 A1 Vulcan (six 20 mm rotary cannon barrels) http://i1206.photobu...on_by_Mydin.jpg made by the Master http://www.master-mo...dex.php?lang=en as well as the Refueling Probe.

At the moment, I'm preparing and detailing the two engines GE F 414 - GE 400 of which I'll post some pictures:

Beautiful work , I love the cockpit , - and the engine work - wow- I don't think I'll ever have the ability to produce work like that ...

 

Also a ver useful build for me to follow , I have one of these kits in my future- post xmas.. With help from Eduard , but without the Digital Scheme decals - I had a look at the sheet you're using , I then worked out the ways I could screw it up , - and passed - Now the current "Chippy Ho" - well that's intresting!

Hi to all
I show you the last shots of my work on the USN F/A-18E Super Hornet VFA137 Kestrels CAG digital cam.

The model was prepared for the insertion of the powerful GE- F 414 Turbofan. I had to redo the whole section and the rear left ensure the correct open spaces of the engine and open all the inserts in order to submit the Eduard photoetched.
I prepared the inner compartment of the truck forward with the ribs and monitoring tools.
I built the drum of six rotary barrels Vulcan M61 / A provided by the Master with ammunition belts and gears of expulsion.
I finally completed this update with details on the APG 79 + AESA
Thank you for your attention.
