This is a pair of my Hornets, they are C & D versions from Hasegawa.  They were built almost straight from box with no modifications.

So there is no special treatment or extra work to talk about, except the resin ejection seats are from Verlinden (D version) (16,17,18) and Pavla (C version)(5, 6). 

The same weathering techniques were applied to these birds with dry brushing, washing and pastel chalk. Decals for the C version is from Camdecal as I prefer aircraft from Desert Storm Operation. This F/A-18C has scored 1 aerial victory with an Iraqi Mig-21. Upper surface was painted with Dark Ghost Gray of Model Master, lower surface was with Light Ghost Gray.

Hope you enjoy,

Tung
