What a great catch up. Chris you have certainly tamed this wild Hornet. I think the hammer would be very very close to the bench if that had been my build!! You have persevered and it is paying dividends.

Very nicely done Chris!

[boatman]

an next i fitted all 4 decals an they are just acceptable an on the right tail plane was my fault as i dint quite line upthe decal proprly so a little red showin

Looks fine and as Steve says the red is not difficult to deal with
JIM R Qoute
WELL jim an steve about that red touch up well its gonna be very difficult to touch up as i treid to fit a bit of tamyia maskin tape over the white decal so i could get a nice straight touch up but it took off he decal so i had to touch up the white line an as i get the shakes i wont be able to touch up the red with grey so im leaving them be

Sorry to hear that you damaged the decal Chris. I am sure it will look fine in the end.

HI GUYS well the hornet build carryies on an its now starting to look something like a hornet should in the diamon backs sqr but some of the decalls have split but have manged to get them back togeather again but this build was a worst fit than the tomcat Aaaaccchhhhh but have manged to show it whos boss lol so some pics for you all an there is still quite a bit of parts to fit on such as cockpit an missles an such hope you all like what you see ?

AN the big snake head went on well like the skullan crossbones did on the tomcat but some of the smaller missle decals broke so had to paint them on
here with wings in the folded postion an they work well im pleased to say but the decals on the under side of the wing were not made long enough but my fault here as i think i should not have had the outer flaps in down postion but you live an lean



AN Last pic till she is finished an then i will show her all lit up
