F/A-18C Hornet

Martin Oostrom
Incredible paintwork Ricardo, very good.
I don't know if it's possible, but I think the black decals on the fuselage could use a bit of fading. The whole plane is (perfectly?) shaded and faded around the panels, and the black looks too uniform on the pictures.

Wish I could paint like that…..

Michael Hickey
I think she looks sweeet, you could always say that the markings are fresh, they don't repaint the whole plane when putting on new markings, but Martin does have a point, your call of course Ricardo. Well done 👍

Ricardo Reis
Yes, I think you are both correct. The thing is these CAG planes are always clean. I would say the markings are OK, but the gray color got a bit too beaten...

John Thomas
Nice work

Roge Lamas
Fantastic job with this nightmare! Today I worked with the air intakes and I used a lot of glue and putty 😄. I like so much your work with the joins. I can't see any imperfection on it.

Spanjaard
excellent job Ricardo!

Neuling
Yes!!!

Fantastic job Ricardo.
What do you think about the kit itself?
Can you recommend it to buy?

Ricardo Reis
Thanks all. @Roge, I did loose a lot of detail on the grids that exist on the intakes, they can now barely be seen; @Sören, the parts are beautifully detailed, but I did not enjoy building this kit, because of awful fit throughout. Worse parts were the intakes and the nose (including windshield and HUD), they are not good at all. I can not recommend this kit.

Thx a lot for the honest answer Ricardo.
Then it is again waiting for a better F/A-18 A/B/C kit.... 🙁
