Marinated Hornet

Left nozzle is from Aires detail set, the right one is from the kit. 

Need to make a room for the Aires nozzles. 

Some working with the airbrake. 

Now fits nicely. 

Underside of LERX needs putty 

Cockpit done 

Canopy in place and masked. Little details must be added. 

Hobbyboss kit is lacking the LERX fences, so I took one from a Hasegawa kit and used it as a model to make my own. 

 

 

I think all needed additions are added. 

 

The whole model is primed with aqueous Mr.Surfacer 1000 and the landing gear bays have been painted white. 

Preshading done 

Light and dark compass ghost greys applied! 

This way I masked the side boundaries. 

I'm trying to make the digital camo. 

Lots of mask making 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adding decals ongoing 

Wash applied 

Resin pylons with BOL dispensers by Air-Graphic Models had a lot of bubbles. 

...Lots of tiny bubbles that are impossible to fill. Maybe I try to bury them with surfacer... 

JASSM-missiles coming up. 

Engines in place finally. 

Weathering done and matt varnish applied. 

Fast-built missiles 

Very simple landing gears 

 

Masks off! 

Model is ready!
