Nice work, Don't see the prototype Hornet very often.

I think partly because there is no suitable kit. That's why I used 2 old kits.

Very nice job! Hornet #1 is on display here at NAWS China Lake at the Naval Museum of Armament & Technology. :-D

OK. Well I decided since I was bogged down in my other builds, Id go ahead and do this one.

Frank Frazetta has always been a favorite of mine. I fell in love with his stuff seeing the covers of Conan paperbacks. Then in 78 the first Molly Hatchet album came out with this as its cover. I bought that album based SOLELY on that cover as it was their first and I hadnt heard them yet. LOL Luckily they were a great band. LOL

There is a Frazetta museum here in Stroudsburg PA, about 3 hours from my house. Im planning on taking this there and taking pics of it there. IF it comes out worth a damn.

OK, so, its a relatively simple build. BUT, as you can see, while the fit is OK, it has serious seems. *sigh* Its gonna require a little more work than I was hoping for.

I am not attaching the arms or head to the rider yet, nor the cloak. Those will be painted then attached to make it easier. The things like reigns are separate pieces that will get painted then all put together.

Next session is getting those seams done.

I'm taking a seat too.

Why not. Frank inspired me as a kid to learn how to paint and draw.
