Koralik Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Another of the "OLD SCHOOL" models, it is a model from the 80-90's and I did't have an idea for it. He was lying and getting dusty so he had to fly to the basket but i got the idea to make the F-18 model of the BLUE ANGELS team. The model required a lot of modifications and work and a very specific painting. In addition, F-18 BLUE ANGELS must be finished in a very high gloss. The model of demonstration aircraft are difficult to make and I do not know if what I have done will please you. Hasegawa set: Model: florin13, Bill Cross, scvrobeson and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.B. Andrus Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Very nice work, Koralik! Looks like it's going 1,200 mph just sitting still. Cheers, D.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Hi Koralik, great looking Blue Hornet, did you use the paragon conversion set to change the original Hasegawa into a A or C model? I'm asking because i have several of these sets ready to be used on the Has kit. Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squizzy 78 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Amazing paint job, and a great looking model, well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Amazing work I love the blue angles. I have this kit in the stash too. One thing is i dont think the BA had the wing leading edge with the offset (sry dont know how its called) But even do it looks amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themongoose Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Your gloss coat is superb! Did you polish it to get it to shine like that or is it a combination of silver primer and the gloss paints? I’m working on modifying a similar Hasegawa one except doing the low viz scheme. Did you have to fill in the wing area running along the side of the cockpit? If so I’d love to hear how you did it to make it looklike it’s part of the plane. awesome job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
