    1/48 F/A-18A Hornet 3 Sqdn RAAF - Home Country Modern Aircraft / Spitfire Marks GB

    Username: Florence
    First name: David
    Category: Beginner
    Scale: 1/48
    Manufacturer: HobbyBoss
    Model Type: F/A-18A
    Decals: AfterBurner Aussie Hornets Pt 1
    Extras: Whatever I need to make a current RAAF Hornet eg 'bird slicers', antennae, GPS dome etc. More research required. Resin replacement seat if needed.

    The kit:

    Nice one David. Thought for a minute about doing a CF-18 myself but I've got too much on the go right now.

    Thought about this one -

    But decided to keep the 3 Sqn theme going. Haven't built a 1/48 jet in years. Crossing my fingers.


    Cheers,
    David.

    Love the F/A-18. I have never made a HobbyBoss kit so I'll be watching this one.

    Madness doesn't always howl. Sometimes its a quiet voice in the middle of a model build that says "Hey buddy, is there room in your head for one more?"
