Stephan RyllVery nice progress On that bird Harry 👍
The book you asked for is
World Air Power Journal Volume 32 Spring 1998
It contains 4 pages of the colourful Agressors
Hope that helps 🙂

Slavo HazuchaWatching with much interest - for an aggressor, the title pic bears quite a load of grime & weathering on the wings & tail section, very much looking forward to you tackling the final appearance!

Patrick HagelsteinWhoah!!! Cool to see the same kit but with a different approach. 🙂 Great job so far! 👍

Harry EderLittle update! A friend of me gave me resin nozzles. I think they are made for the Hasegawa F-18. A few cuts and a little sanding and now the fit to my Academy kit. 🙂

Patrick HagelsteinCool to see this coming along too! Sadly I see you had to struggle the aft fuselage into order as well... 🙁

Patrick HagelsteinHarry, did you follow Academy's instructions and did you encounter any difficulties doing so? I deviated from the instructions in order to better align the fuselage parts but found difficulties elsewhere. Oh, and why the hole in the air brake bay?

Harry EderI don´t know whats wrong with this kit. A friend told me that this F-18 comes together easily but in my opinion the fit is not so good.
I followed the instruction not in all points because I also thought the assembling is easier in my way...
For the resin nozzles I had to cut and sand it down but it´s no problem because the break will be closed. 😉

Patrick HagelsteinI feel you Harry.... I dry fitted these parts for days before committing to glue and they looked the part. Once glue came into play, all my parts seem to shift and tension up leaving me with ridges and gaps. It'll work in the end but for now the process is frustrating...

Patrick HagelsteinWe're in this together Harry! Don't feel alone out there!....... 😄

Slavo HazuchaVery nice surface work. The camo choice was a good one, the colors make a great combo on the model 👍. Looking forward to the weathering, the title pic suggest some interesting options... 🙂

Patrick HagelsteinDid anybody notice the smart way of building a jig out of cardboard by the way??? 😉

Harry EderThank you all together! 🙂
Yes Slavo I will try that kind of weathering.
Ronan I used Gunze H307, H317 and H301. In my opinion the colors in the instruction sheet are not the best choice (especially H308 instead of H307, it's to light).
Patrick I stole this idea from Ronan! Please don't tell him! 😄

Patrick HagelsteinHarry, looking at your pictures in more detail I have one burning question: How did you get the underside plugs for the LERX fit so smoothly??? I have been going at them with filling and sanding for ages! 😮
16 December 2019, 15:42
Harry EderThanks mates! 👍
@ Patrick: the fit was not too bad, but filling and sanding was nessesary! The camo did the rest! 😄

DanielI agree, great colors, looks very convincing 👍 the CATM-9 is a nice add on to the greys as well. Really looking forward to the base!

Slavo HazuchaGood stuff 👍 Great reproduction of the title pic with the weathering!

Harry EderThank you Ronan and Didi!
@ Ronan: the spotter is selfmade from a Hasegawa guy! 😉 I added some pics.

DanielVery nice hornet, looks great! And awesome painting of the spotters pants btw 🙂
