1/72 F/A-18A Hornet "Into the Rabbit hole"

[Guest]

Hello, I'm clearing my stock slowly so this one is 1/72 Kitech's F/A-18A which I get as gift like half year ago. It's very bad brand with bad feedback but I don't care, just build it, it's a hobby anyway


Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 314 (VMFA-314) is a USMC F/A-18 Hornet squadron. The squadron, known as the "Black Knights", is based at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California and falls under the command of Marine Aircraft Group 11 (MAG-11) and the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (3d MAW). Their tail code is VW.


VMFA-314 is a Fighter/Attack type squadron, providing close air support, air interdiction and aerial reconnaissance. They're part of Marine Aircraft Group 11 and also 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing.


"ONCE A KNIGHT IS NEVER ENOUGH"


Panel washing, filtering and color fading by using XF-1, XF-2 and XF-53. Mixing Sunin7 RedGold (K3) & Gaia Pure Black for exhaust, the result just nice. Scratch build ladder with pla-plate and sprues.


Making tarmac airfield by using ceramic tile, it's an experiment and the outcome is really satisfying to me. Click HERE for simple tutorials.

Looks really nice. That 'digital' camouflage must have been a nightmare to paint.

Great build well done.

That's the problem, I made it by using some self-printed decals.

Very nice and out of the ordinary. Very nicely presented and photographed. Like to have seen a closer picture, if possible, of the camouflage as it is so different.
