Academy 1/32 F/A-18D Hornet

By Colin Robinson

Finally finished 9 years after I bought the model and at least 6 years after I started it!

• Academy Hornet
• Blackbox cockpit
• Aires front U/C bay
• Airs GBU bombs
• Zacto sidewinders
• Lots of Eduard etch
• SAC metal U/C
• Aires exhausts (undersized)
• Gunze Sangyo for all airbrushed paint, Vallejo for cockpit and detail, MIG oils for weathering
• 2H Pencil for panel lines

Full WIP is in the forums.

I made a LOT of mistakes but also learned a lot on my first 1/32nd jet. I will pin all weapons next time for a start and do the windscreen and canopy ASAP. Many of the problems where just due to my inability to focus and complete the model. Therefore it lay around and got knocked around.
