1/72
Hasegawa F/A -18D
First is the Hornet on the display stand. This is a 1/72 Hasegawa OOB except for
decals of course.
I've
installed a sprue inside the fuselage when constructing and a hole is drilled
out to expose the sprue. After construction a Tamiya's acrylic tube is attached
to the sprue and display base.
This
is my first TUDM hornet and an experiment in mounting a model.

1/48
Italeri F/A-18D
Then there is this 1/48 Hornet using Italeri kit. Its a nightmare. Canopy does
not fit the rails/cockpit (being that the cockpit is too narrow. OOB again for
this kit which is a another commission build.
Weathering
is minimal. Note from the top view you can see some different shades. It arises
out of different session of airbrushing which unintentionally resulted in more
realistic weathering. Wheel bays are oil washed..
