I served in OIF OEF 03-05 and a Hornet just like this one saved my life. I was told they were based out of MCAS Miramar in 03 and after a lot of research Post Service, I was able to find out they were the Green Knights. The decals are of my children that would have not been here today had it not been for those Marine Pilots. The number BuNo 5 is for the number to teammates that didn't come home with us and the 9/11 Never Forget decal was for my service before and after 9/11. God bless the United States Marine Corps (No better friend, no worst enemy), all of those heroes that stayed over in the sandbox and from the USA, Canada, Australia and GB. God bless "The Inner Nerd" for his great service to those who served. A true professional and perfectionist when building Model Aircraft.

Awesome build!! Paintwork and weathering perfect. What the seat harness?

Fantastic build as always! One quick note. Maybe your client wanted it but USMC F/A-18Ds did not use the FLIR on the intake. I believe USMC Hornets used LITENING pods in the centerline position. Other than that absolutely stunning build.

This is a wonderful model of a Hornet! I wish I knew half of what you've _forgotten_ about weathering/finishing models -- I think I'd be a happy modeler then. ;) On the Hornets we overhauled (before I retired), the "inner" areas around the flaps and other flight controls were painted a dark red (I don't know what shade), but this model doesn't lose _anything_ by not having the "red" in those (relatively hard-to-see) areas. When flaps, etc., are extended/down, the "red" is quite obvious on Navy aircraft of all types, but I don't know whether it's worth worrying about on models since many/most? probably don't leave "room" for that kind of detail.

Nicely done. I've been using the black basing technique since I watched your Academy Phantom build (mine is sitting on the shelf half finished- it became a chore and I was not enjoying it...maybe I'll get back to it someday). I've used it on Tamiya's F-14A & D, AMK Mig 31 and Bandia's 1/48 X-Wing. All of them came out great. Do you still polish your clear coat before you weather the kit? My suggestion for a future build is Hasagawa's 1/48 SH3 Seaking.

@TheInnerNerd

5 жыл бұрын

Thank you. And that's great to hear that my videos have inspired you to use the same techniques! I prefer the black basing technique to pre-shading as it gives the model a primer coat as well as a base to work on. The variance in colour tones is much easier and controllable too since you can use the different base colours like I did in this one to affect the overall top coat. Sad to hear that your F4 has been shelved but I know what you mean about a chore - some of my models get to that stage too and I just loose inspiration to complete them, although I always do. To answer your question - yes. I still flat and polish the top coat but since I've switched to the Mr Color GX100 & self-leveling thinners it is less necessary as it dries with little to no orange peeling. The only areas I do now are the decals to reduce the raised "bubble" they cause due to their own thickness. Thanks for suggesting a new build! I do fancy a Seaking, especially the SH3 I like the Navy White and Orange scheme

What do you use to rescribe panel lines, for your washes and cleaning them up with the paper towels are you using thinners to help with that?? Great job, your weathering is superb!!!

I use a Hasegawa Try Tool for re-scibing more detail can be seen here kzread.info/dash/bejne/eX9tj7mens-XqrQ.html The washes are cleaned off with no thinners at all unless the wash is particularly stubborn in some areas.

Thanks and you're right it was not an easy kit to make but glad it came together on the end. As for the canopy gap - I looked at a lot of reference photos and there was a consistent inconsistency with this area. Some aircraft had a very pronounced panel line and others didn't. Photos of VK05 did actually show a definate panel gap/line around the front canopy section so I decided to not make it completely smooth. Doesn't make much sense since you would expect the seam to be, well, seamless but thats how it "seams" to be on the real thing.

I only use one airbrush and that's a Harder & Steebeck Evolution Silverline with a 0.15mm nozzle. The airbrush is less important than the thinning of the paint here. The paint has to be thinned sufficiently to be able to get the fine and delicate pattern needed in the marbelling technique, an airbrush is only as good as the paint you send through it. I hope that helps and thanks for watching :)

I'm not sure since Ive never built or seen the hasegawa kit. What I can say is that this one is very detailed and has lots of variant options. Both single and twin seater in the same kit! However the fuselage mating is very tricky and takes a lot of dry fitting and clamping into position so is bot for beginners. Some massive gaps too on some areas which need A LOT of work to make them acceptable. Other than that though I would build one again if it wasn't so big! 1/72 hornets for me in the future if any 😅

@TheModelGuy

Each kit has its strengths and weaknesses. The Kinetic Bug is newer, so panel lines look nice and there are lots of details out of the box. You can build it OOB and have a nice Hornet. But be ready for some fit issues on the nose and mis-labeled parts in the instructions. The Hasegawa kit looks good, especially with it being from 1993 but to match the detail of the Kinetic Bug, you'll be tossing a bit of aftermarket PE/resin at it. It also has some fit issues, especially around the engine intakes so be ready for a bit of work. You can't go wrong with either kit, but price wise you're better off looking at the Kinetic Bug. It's quite a bit cheaper than the Hasegawa ones which are still holding high prices. With 25 year old decals and a weak cockpit you'll need to get some aftermarket stuff for a nice finish. Hope that helps. KZread Doogs Kinetic Hornet review and he does a full build of one.

As I said in other comments to your job, well I find your way to modelling a little approximate, and to give some examples, you forgot to put seat belts on this model, wind screen leaves a big gap from fuselage, and last but non least, Hornets never have air brake open during parking, unless they're under maintenance, but this is not the case. another thumb down for you my friend.

Thank you for your concern and giving me a thumbs down to prove it. If you have read some of the other comments you’ll see that this was a commission build and I was requested to fit the air brake in the up position. Also you are further un-informed that hornets can have gaps around the canopy - there is even someone that used to work on carriers commenting saying that this is the case, so my approximations are accurate depending on the source. There are no seatbelts on this model as there could be an option for pilot figures to be inserted as the customer had asked me to leave these empty. Since you have so much constructive criticisms for my channel, it would be useful to start your own to show me how exactly you make a perfect model.
