Here are the three 1/48 Hasegawa F/A-18C Hornets painted and decaled. Waiting for final assembly.

This is VFA-146 using Two Bobs decals. The nose was a real problem as the decal would not sit correctly. I used a lot of decal set and careful slicing along the stripes to get to sit correctly.

This is VMFA-212 using Superscale decals. The landing gear is somewhat weathered.

Finally, this is VFA-192 using Two Bobs decals. The decals on the tails were hard to get to sit properly even with decal set, again careful slicing was done to get to sit around the various bumps on the tails.

always enjoyed your works. Very nice lehhhh.

The America flag at the nose tip, is it suppose to be out of line like that :P

You make it look like building an AC is super easy. ^_^

Hi Sky,
Thanks for comments. The flag is supposed to be that way. I guess look like it is waving in the wind. The instructions have it that way and my reference photos have it that way too.

Hi Kwongyan,
Thanks for comments. I sleep a little. I have a building mood now because this is first time in ten years since I start to build again. Once I start it is hard to stop. I have much fun building.
