  1. Looks nice but could you please rotate photos...

  2. Excellent build, Stefan, as your previous one. These test marikings make the model standing out! Congratulations!

  3. Another great Hornet build! Fantastic paint finish.

  4. Stefan, it looks amazing and the weathering is great.

    Cheers,

    Scott

  5. Beautifully crafted Stefan! I love the realistic pose for the pilot. Exceptional weathering job as well. Good to see that we Canadians aren't the only ones flying well weathered Hornets. I didn't realize until seeing your build that the Swiss Hornets had a port side interception I.D. lamp as our Canadian fighters have. Regards from Ontario!

  6. Thank you Philip,

    Indeed the Finnish, Canadian, Kuwaiti, Malaysian and Swiss Hornet are equipped with a 600.000 candlepower search and ident light mounted in the ammunition loading door.

    Best wishes from North-Eastern Switzerland
    Stefan

  7. Hello Stephan,
    Excellent example of this workhorse from the Swiss Air Force.
    Forgot to mention the pilot. Comes with the box, or from France.
    Regards, Dirk
