Welcome Roland+Maciej! I made some progress in the meantime and finished the major build stages. I really love the elegant shape of the D-Hornets, can't wait to start painting her 🙂

Thanks Roland, no, its not a shake+bake by any means, still nothing major to get mad at. Dryfitting is really advisable though😉

First paint layers are down! I plan to keep a bit more tidy since it its ground based, but who knows where the road will take me😉
@Peter: Thank you! I ask myself the same question, the kinetic is still on the wishlist. What I can say is that it comes with many more options for the different airframe updates. This one is based on an early D.
@ James&Jos: Great to have you on board! 👍
@Murad: Welcome! Great if I can be of help, I'll try to point out the major issues

Gonna plan a next HB F-18 project myself...studied your pics very closely, good tips Daniel especially to fill those damn huge rivets on the wings...WTF!
From the low countries, merry Christmas my friend!

Thx!
@jos: added a closer look at the outcome of the rivet treatment on pic 30, quite satisfied with it

Thx Daniel, I've already made a riveting plan thanks to your pics...your riveting came out very nicely on those inspection hatches, much more real...👍

not much work this time of year+no "visit the whole family" tour = time for the important things in life 😄
(ok -I admit I really miss the family tour...)

I just went back and read how you approached the paint work on this build. I'm going to have to try that out 🙂

@ Nathan: I found concentrating on individual panels really being a big step in bringing me closer to the desired result, previously I painted big surface patterns as you would on a car and it really makes a difference in the end
@Slavo: thanks+amen - a beautiful mess is what we aim for 😄
@ all: Thank you for joining in, a happy new year to everyone as well!

Album info
This HB Kit looks like a hornet, but only from afar - a lot of work needed to get it in the right direction...
