Wow does that look nice! Clear lines and some very subtle weathering makes for a realistic look. Well done.
In the pattern: Scale Shipyard's 1/48 Balao Class Sub! leaning out the list...NOT! Ha, added to it again - Viper MkVii, 1/32 THUD & F-15J plus a weekend madness build!
Sharp! It's nice to see some younger people getting into the hobby.

Straycat, I don't know if I just had a bad run on mine or what. The main fuselage went together great. Everything went to heck in a hand basket once I started on the nose though. I had something like a 1/16 to a 3/23 ledge on the port side that I could not do anything with. I finally had to glue the piece in place and deal with it the beast I could... which meant half a tube of putty and about 20 to 30 hours of sanding and re-scribing. Some of the panel lines weren't as clean as I'd liked, but hey... that's what they make sharp knives and sand paper for. For the money it's a good kit, but I think I may spend a bit more next time...
I've gotta give Plasticteen kudos. He did a good job for this kit. It's pretty involved. Raymond

Hey, I've got this one sitting on my bench right now. You did a wonderful job!!! Mine you ask??? I've thought about sticking a couple of rocket engines on it ;-) Seriously, you did an incredible job with a kit, that if yours was anything like mine, has some fit issues. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!! Raymond

It don't get much better at any age. Great work. Mike
Nicely done, the weathering around the panel lines looks great. I have one or two of these sitting in the stash, hopefully they are better than the old Revell -18C's!

The fit is great straycat1911. The model is a revell 1:48 F/18-E Super Hornet for everyone who asked and thank you for all the great comments I hope to get better as I learn more techniques from my dad.
Yeah, looks better than much of the stuff I build today! Don't even ask about the junk I built as a teen (though back then we had to carve our own models out of wood with a mammoth bone) ;)

So your dad is teaching you new techniques you say? Nice to see a teen that's listens to his dad because you did a great job on that.
