rohan Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Hi all, Here is my latest build staying with my home country theme- F18F Super Hornet 6 Sqn RAAF Aircraft A44-218. Its a HUGE kit and not a bad one. As usual for Trumpeter, it required a bit of filling here and there, but overall the detail is very nice and a really good looking kit. Highly recommended I also used the 1/32 Trumpeter F18F kit with these after market sets- Aires open burner cans Legend SJU 17 seats Quickboost F18E Control leaver (the kit one is just way out of scale and looks like a tree) Eduard F18E exterior set Eduard EA18G Interior set Steel Beach ACS update set Southern Sky Models RAAF F18F decal set Southern Sky Models RAAF F18F crew names decal sheet I hope you all like it!!!!!

stikpusher Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Excellent work my freind! Just the right amount of weathering, and looking like it is ready for the crew to take her up on a combat sortie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rohan Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) Thanks guys. The F18F is now one of my favourite jets. Its BIG, meaty and mean!!!! Im not the best photographer so if the pics are not good, I have no idea why. I just used a normal digital camera Edited June 7, 2013 by rohan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Rohan, a little tip i was given and use everytime, put some silver foil in front of the flash and bend it up. this way the flash goes up and bounces of the ceiling and gives a really natural light image, it helps if you use a single colour backing such as a white sheet, have a look at my builds, i am using a 10 year old digital camera and a cheap one at that. dan Great tip! I'm going to try that one out myself. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 i didnt know steel beach makes an ACS set, is it better than the quickboost one? very nice build. i am getting ready to do my E, so this is a good inspiration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rohan Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 IThanks for the nice comments guys. I havent seen the quickboost one. The EA18G kit comes with the ACS cockpit so Ill use that kit from now on to make F18Fs. The F18F is now OOP. The steel beach kit I got from Sprue Brothers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
