Academy 1/72 F-18F US Navy

May 4, 2020 · in Aviation · · 16 · 1.9K

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!

  1. One hot Hornet! Academy and their notorious decals.

  2. 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.

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

  4. Great build - love the paint work! Well done.

  5. Nice work george. Love a super hornet. Spot on.
