I did some extra work to my Hornet.

  • 1.Modelling Aries’s cockpit and exhaust nozzle set upgrade kit.
  • 2.Scratch building the electronics bay with copper wires and styrene strips.
  • 3.Added hydraulic and break pipes with copper wires and styrene strips to detail up the landing gear bay and under carriage structures.
  • 4.Painting: I airbrushed black colour patch around as “pre shading” then covered with a thin layer C307 on the top and C308 on the belly to simulate the real appearance of the “in operation” mottled aircraft.

Happy Modeling!
