Hasegawa's Hornet is a challenging model. The mold is well detailed with a fine recessed panel surface, but has a few fit issues. Nonetheless, it is an impressive model like this great aircraft.
Calling this one FINI!
Nice little kit which I built completely OOB. I've always liked Leroy Grumman's 'Hot Rod' as it was called in Grumman Corp. Circles.
The kit as it comes OOB, is actually a -1b. I wanted to build a real early [...]
This is one of Tamiya's finest kits in my opinion, nary a problem during the build.Looking for something different to do to a corsair, I stumbled upon the "colourized" photo shown. I can't vouch for the accuracy but it started my [...]
This one languished around for quite a while before I got started with it.

Back in the late seventies, where the F-18 project was in good progress, Northrop and McDonnell Douglas partner companies were [...]
