Academy 1/72 F-18F US Navy
Hello,
This my recent project, OOB. A really easy kit, nice fitting and engineering. The only, and big, complain are the decals. They're virtually useless, way too thick. So, I put it on hold and waited for a new set from ebay.
Hope you enjoy!
Cheers!

Really nice! Can you comment on what paint brand and colors you used? Thanks.

Thank you! I've used Gunze H-307 Grey FS 36320 on the top and AK Insignia white FS 17875 underside. Some pre shading and some post shading with pastels. And Flory washes as a panel liners.

You guys that build such great detail in 1/72 amaze me. The shading on this Hornet is perfect.
