Bit more of an update of whats happening on the hornet an ive started to fit on the smaller flaps an i think they are called slats on the wings an they are very intricate just got to hope i dont brake any thing while handeling it an flaps in the down postion but very deilcate
an they look pretty good im pleased to say an its a big model nearly as big as that tomcat

Looking good Chris. You are correct, the leading edge lift devices are called slats.

HI Joe yes i thought they were an to me its a marvel that they dont jam up at all as they all just slot into each other so a very complex wing components

HI Steve yes she lookin colourfull now thank goodness just got to hope the decals dont splinter like they did on the tomcat as that was a hellof a job to rejion them up on the planes an this hornet has a lot more decals wish i could have fitted them firstly before fittin the wings togeather but no as to the lite wires all had to be fitted so steve thanks for havin a look see at the build

AN Cheers Joe yes very nice to see a colour full plane rather than all the main aircraft in low vid but if it went into combat at short notice an they dint have time to respray her she would make an easy target to see lol but i must say this plane has been a dreafull fit an so far more difficult than the tomcat as i could make a small list of the things an parts that dint fit an the lastes bein the engine jet pipes are miles out of fittin so had to cut off part of the engine tube an then grind out the engine jet pipes before they would fit an no not nothing to do with the wirein
