It certainly looks the business in front of the hanger Gary. In some of the photos, it could be mistaken for the real deal.

Ya I agree with the others, looks like the real deal just rolled out off the factory floor. Very clean build from that busy studio you showed us a few threads back. The photography and model work are both superb

Thank you Holger! As my dad was fond of explaining, "it's all trick photography". 🙂
Yeah, one of the things I like most about taking pics at the airport is the ever-changing sky in the background. I've been wanting to get some very early morning shots done out there; just after sunrise; that and some rainy day pics too. Sunrise on a NMF bird would look great I think. Even these old kits, when given just a little TLC, can be made to look pretty good. Combine that with some creativity at the airport and sometimes even I get "lucky". 🙂

That's one of those scalemates-moments. You scroll through the timeline, see a pic and think: "Nice - that guy posted a walkaround of an F-18." ...and than you realize, it's just a model. 😮

Album info
This is the old Revell kit, from 1990. I built it several years ago, and finally got around to photographing her at the Cameron airport. I did use an aftermarket decal set, the SuperScaleInternational set 48-346. It's pretty much built OOB, with just a few added details. Once again, just another "four-footer"!
