another F-18...

I like this F-18E better than the other C version above. The other had a Navy paint job with too much gloss. However, I do think the weathering was better on the F-18C, including the gear. But I enjoyed the F-18E crisp lines. But the cockpit to fuselage could have used some work on the E model. And I'm a sucker for the SLAM-ER.

The other was a RAAF hornet Matt.

 

[Matt308]

So irrespective of operators, RAAF F-18C's are semi-gloss????

 

[Wurger]

Both small F-18 look nice, I think. We should remember that a paint which looks good on a 1/48 scale model can give a differnt view on 1/144 scale one.Simply its pigment granule has the same size.There aren't offered paints for bigger and smaller scales separately.What is more the 1/144 scale model has a small surface of painted areas and it should be taken into consideration as well.

 

[Wayne Little]

Same modeller again this time, the Tomcat...

 

[Screaming Eagle]

thats nice

 

[Heinz]

veery nice F 14,

Not sure about the gloss Matt, I think they did carry it for a while, dont hold me on that though

 

[Catch22]

Nice, but what's with the camo?

 

[Matt308]

I think Wurger hit it on the head.

 

[Wurger]

But these small models look really nice.

 

[Matt308]

Sure do. Wish my 1/72nds could look half that good.
