crobinsonh Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) Finally finished 9 years after I bought the model and at least 6 years after I started it! Academy Hornet Blackbox cockpit Aires front U/C bay Airs GBU bombs Zacto sidewinders Lots of Eduard etch SAC metal U/C Aires exhausts (undersized) Gunze Sangyo for all airbrushed paint, vallejo for cockpit and detail, MIG oils for weathering 2H Pencil for panel lines Full WIP is here: http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=27537?st=0 I made a LOT of mistakes but also learnt a lot on my first 1/32nd jet. I will pin all weapons next time for a start and do the windscreen and canopy ASAP. Many of the problems where just due to my inability to focus and complete the model. Therefore it lay around and got knocked around. This is my second completion this years (after a Trumpeter F-106) and I would not let myself move on until I had finished these 2 models. Next stop 1/72nd CMR Buccaneer (I am a huge Buccaneer fan and as some of you may know the lucky, privileging owner of Buccaneer XX894 as well as a member of the amazing Buccaneer Aviation Group).

Rod Bettencourt Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 WOW!!! The finish looks amazing. I see Hornets all the time and in my opinion you nailed it. Rod
JOE 3571 Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 NIce job it appears you are missing a piece of your right flap section. other than that it is beautiful.
crobinsonh Posted July 3, 2015 Author Posted July 3, 2015 NIce job it appears you are missing a piece of your right flap section. other than that it is beautiful. You are quite right - I had forgotten. It dropped off somewhere along the line and I can no longer find it.
MGySgt0372 Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Very well built model! However, the seats & vents forward of the front landing gear are incorrect for that particular jet. Also, the GPS dome is missing on the spine.
ClumsyDude Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 That's brilliant - fully justifies six years of work!! Jim
LSP_Kevin Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Beautiful build, Colin! May I publish it on the website? Kev

Also, the GPS dome is missing on the spine. I realised that after I started building the jet but just went with the flow in the end.
