F/A 18E Super Hornet "Tophatters"

[Wong Ryan]

After being out of the scene for a while, I decided to start small, with this 1/144 scale Dragon offering. F/A 18 E Super Hornet.

Fittings are good, the only big challenge is the small decals ....

Next step is to weather down this bird ... and by the way, the canopy was very brittle, and it actually cracked in the middle ...

Beautiful work Ryan, especially as it is 1/144.

Wow Ryan that is incredible detail at that scale. Canopy looks fine ca'nt see a repair on it.

treyzx10r,.the crack is like a seamline o_O ... i'll take a clearer picture nx round to show the "seamline"

That is a very good looking Hornet and in 1/144 makes it more impressive

Can't wait to see it weathered

And .... the cracked canopy ...

That is all folks ...

Great weathering Ryan! Shame about the cracked canopy ,it does'nt really stand out tho. And it does'nt detract from the great looking job you've done at all!
