F/A-18A+ Hornet, Spanish Air Force, Gran Canaria, 1:48 Kinetic

Robert Barkoski
Excellent weathering. If you don't mind, what is your process on the jet's afterburner nozzles?

Aleksander Górka
Thank you, Robert! Nozzles were added at the end of assembly, after being fitted, painted with various Alclad II metallic paints, dry-brushed with blue and silver Tamiya acrylics and "washed" with dark oil wash. In fact, it's usually a trial and error method until you get the desired result.

Robert Barkoski
Aleksander, thank you for the info. Good tip with the dry brushing blue, I've always just used silver with dry brushing.

Beautiful model, with the right weathering (in my opinion) for a spanish Hornet. With the AIM-9J and no bird-slicers, what timeframe would you say this is from?

Neuling
Top result!
