That loud bang tahth just happened was my chin dropping hitting the desk in amazement...

This model looks awesome (I feel like launching my Mig-27 out of the window right now)... how long did it take you to finish this model, and what have you done to it ?

Cheers,

Harm

Hi Harm ,

Thank You for kind words , as for project - time : about one Year but with many breaks . This F-18 was a test bad for some tips & trics - for example - panel lines , washes etc.
Whole model is paint by Gunze Paints , washes with pastels ( chalk ) and poster color ( + dish washing soap ) . Some scratch building with cocpit - opening installation , and many things like panels - etc ...
This is opening canopy elements - from Hasegawa Part to My own scratch build
