Richards Finished Kinetic 1/48 F-18D

[rtfoe]

Hi Guys,
I have finally finished the F-18 D by Kinetic. Although I had problems at the early stages I got over it and approached it from a different perspective and the results were just like any other kit I've built. This is actually my first serious build of the modern jet genre which basically is the Teen range. I was rushing and only managed to take shots at the LHS group build. Many thought I had painted the tiger stripes...




Hope you like the images.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Richard
An outstanding result from every aspect. The paint job and the weathering, those decals - all are tributes to your skill.

Very neat result Richard:thumb2::thumb2:, love the rather clean finish of your Bug and the Tiger stripes make it really cool looking

Thanks Peter D, Ralph, Rick, Si, Jim, Andy, Fernando, Paul aka Scottie, Peter, Christopher, Joe and Simon for the nice feedback.

Not exactly flawless andhonestly I could have gone on weathering but had to pinch myself to stop...6 months is just too long for a build like this but I'm glad you guys stuck with me.

Cheers,
Richard
