This is lookin' sharp Mike ( Medicman71). Love all the attention to detail that you're putting into this build. BTW....I'm not surprised at the whole fence debacle. What folks say and do are lotsa times two different things when money is involved.

I've done the same "cherry picking" of aftermarket items to get the look I am trying achieve. These will really transform with the markings on them

Thanks guys! And if you saw the amount of Hornets/Super Hornets/Growlers in the stash, there's never enough decals.

Ok I have a question, how do I fix this without a major redo? I had a run from a drop of the gloss onto the model. I tried using a papertowel but it left that mark.

Mike, try sanding and buffing out the affected area, then respray the gloss.

I hope you can sort that gloss issue out painlessly Mike, but man, those decals look awesome! It's been a long time coming, but I think these Hornets are going to be well worth the wait!

Looks like Carlos beat me to it Mike. Looking forward to seeing the recovery effort on that. Doncha hate it when stuff like that happens?

Well Hornet #1 is pretty much done other than the stencils, but those will wait till the end. If it gets too close to the show the stencils may not make it on there. The only exception will be the weapons.

Well we've had a set back with jet two. I had a decal fold up and break on me. It was the squadron name that goes on the spine. There's no way to get that decal sheet has it's out of production and stock everywhere I looked. The wife and I are gonna try and make new ones but if not, well it just won't have the name on the spine.

Sucks about the decal issue but these are looking wonderful with the markings on them both!
