Awesome indeed. That paint work is sublime & the work on all the weapons is something to strive for. Where did you source that foil for the HUD?

Wonderful finish - every Hornet a step-up on the previous one... (not that those would be lacking in any specific aspect...😉 )

I definitely find your single-panel-treatment a great way to add individuality & realism to the model 👍. The messy bits I mentioned already in the build-thread, what really shines (literally) is the color-changing hud and the rainbow-effect canopy - really cool stuff, especially on a two-seater!

Thank you for your very kind comments gentlemen, I am very happy with the result and glad you appreciate as well! its nice to add a new variant of the hornet family to my collection, def. not the last one. 🙂

@Holo Foil: Sourced that dirt cheap on evilBay where gentlemen from Hongkong sell those foils for nail art application. I roughly cut that out and glued it with future on top of the eduard HUD foil part, then carefully trimmed it with a sharp blade. Also came in dark green color which will look spectacular on cockpit displays.

Thanks a lot, skywalker!

Dont know what the rules are on direct links to shops here?
Anyway, if you type "16 Color Broken Glass Holo Mirror Effect Foil" into evilbay you get to what I used 🙂

Theres a lot of other glittery potential useful stuff to be found if just looking for "holo nails".
I have just seen these foils also come in self-adhesive stripes - those will be just perfect for HUDs 👍
think I'll order some... 🙂

I found some stuff on Amazon here in the US that looks the part. A 17x78 inch sheet should last me several lifetimes for $11 lol!
