Kinetic F/A-18A+/B / CF-188 - Build

Daniel
Nice subject! ?
Typical kinetic kit but its the best we've got for the legacy hornet?‍♂️. There are some workarounds to be found in forums, e.g. internal spacers/sidewalls for the rear part.
Watching!

Also taking a seat, looks quite good so far, like the detail paintwork in the landing gear area as well as in the cockpit. 👍

a bit of progress here, everything is now painted (even though i think i didn't hit the color tone very good, hopefully weathering improves that...) and there is one correction needed as the paint peeled in one spot.

Clifford Keesler
Looking good.

Jos Jansen
Nice progress Schnemat...!

Eric Thornton
Oh 410 Cougars training squadron. Same one I want to build. Looking great!

I like double-seaters, so that was the one to go with the kinetic kit 😉

Alexander
Great work Schnemat, really like the outcome so far! 👍
As to your question about the pod, I think it goes on the left side fuselage anchoring normally reserved for the air-to-air missiles - at least this is the case for the Rhino Hornet.

Daniel
Pic 32 shows you're already using the correct pod in the correct position 👍
(pic 31 shows the litening pods that preferably goes centerline position on most non-navy hornets - but also not used by RCAF)
a great looking hornet, I really like the typical streaks behind the slats, looking forward to the big rollout! 👍

Thank you for all your nice comments! I hope the canopy is not going to ruin the whole model...

Gorgeous - but makes me worry about that Kinetic F-18 waiting to be assembled!

Clifford Keesler
Very nice Hornet.

Guy Rump
Very impressive! 👍
