Thanks Holger, it took me some time to finish ( Planes aren't my best issue 😛 ) but i also spend a lot of time on the paintjob.

Nice build, I like the color variation (a tad dark, so maybe next time you try a base color other than black) 👍

Pre-shading of panel lines and hatches is overdone, but that is true for most pre-shaded kits I see here. May be I have to accept that this is simply en vogue right now. 🙂

Google for F/A-18E/F/G images on the 'net and you will see what I mean.

I know and observed many real aircraft and you are right, Burkhard! This kind of pre-shading is very much but on the other hand it just looks so cool! Thats why i pre-shade too much, i love the look! But this is just my 2 cents!😢

I know that it isn't realistic. I consider myself a modeller, not a replica-builder. I build for my own fun. Thanks otherwise everybody.

Couldn't agree more. 🙂

I guess Web 3.0 will eventually reverse the roles between what is 'real world' and 'virtual world' today. 😄
