F/A-18D

A little prep work on the cockpit and some of the smaller parts. 

Cockpit finished, nothing but paint used for this. 

This aircraft is going to be sans weapons so I modified the rail with a groove. 

Doors on and LERX and pylon holes filled and sanded. 

Add a bit of primer... 

Lower colour on after being lightened to match scale. 

Top colour, again lightened to scale, sprayed on and most of the decals on. 

Rest of the decals and the undercarriage on. 

Add wheels... 

Drop tank and canopy on and it's finished! 🙂 

I really love these markings!
