she's almost done!! :-) I'm waiting on the GBU-12's to dry as I type this and I painted it's display base today (Just Plane Stuff's resin Modern Carrier deck) Brighter photos tomorrow!

enjoy

EDIT: new pics, look below for new shots and a link to the rest

while not anaircraft nut that is one nice lookin' bird. Well done :-)

Looking good. Are you going to weatherize it? The paint looks great. Looking forward to seeing the next set of Photos

GI Joe the Movie! Cool! Very nice Super Bug too. I like the wheel wells.

Pony,

this is one hell of a nice looking Hornet, make me wanna do one.

question, the outter pylons are bare now, what bombs will be loaded there?

Looking good, and can't wait for the next installment of pictures.

thanks for the compliments all

animal: I went with a light weathering job. Just a pastel wash and some afterburner residue since the Super Hornets of VFA-14 are relatively new

Iron-Fist: love the movie! My afternoon routine after homework was GI Joe and Transformers :-)

SS-74: GBU-12's will occupy the pylons next to the GBU-16's. AIM-9 Sidewinders will take up position on the wingtips. Both of those I'm finishing up tonight.

here's a couple of better pics:



the tailfins consist of 7 decals total. The red border is a very delicate 1-piece one, the white disc is seperate from the Top Hat. The tail code is 1 decal while the S and the 00 are they're own decals. Here's the link to more pics of the model, plus a shot of my 1/48 scale Hasegawa F-16CJ, enjoy
