Weathering still to go. Yes my camera and my abilities with it still suck.

Fantastic job on the F-16 D, Kroll777. 8)

Looks great!

Can't imagine the amount of work that went into that. Much more than a repaint.

Only issue I can see is that the very rear of the canopy should blend a bit more smoothly into the fuselage.

Not trying to be critical, just honest. :wink:

But an awesome custom, and truly unique.

Your right! Thx It's fixed. Here is a new pic. I adjusted the hump it's correct now. It might still look a little wrong because right at the tip its painted the darker blue. Anyway the bird has some weathering. I can't work a camera so the sunlight washed out the colors. I've got buddy who has a great camera so maybe I can get some better pics later. Still a few odds and ins to work on.

HOLY SH_T!
WOW MAN!!! Canopies are definitely one of the hardest things to do in my book! How did you do such an amazing job?!?!?!

Fantastic work!!! I love those twinkie shaped canopies!

That's is nicely done. Great Job!! I'm with Flyboy. Give us the scoop on the canopy. It's doesn't look like thin vacuum formed plastic.

Thx guys . I've still need to tighten up things like the air brakes. I'll try to explain how I did the canopies when I have a little more time. That's an awesome F-18 scheme. I thought about doing that one. I've have a few in mind but have not narrowed it down. The canopy on the hornet needs a redo and a ton of work . Hopefully I'll have a couple single seat f-16 aggressors coming out soon. If you guys have any ideas for f-16 aggressors put some pictures on here.

Here's what I'm thinking on the F-18. Tell me which one you like. I'm leaning towards The Blue Angel #7 or #4.

If BBI reproduces the F-18 I have a ton of single seat F-18s to do.

Same as other thread:

Hello guys,

I have not been on here for some time and have not been able to work on the Hornet at all. I have a very sick little girl but things are getting better. Hopefully, I can get cracking on it soon. The canopy needs some work to make it right. Its not there yet. Pizzaguy nozzels are taped on but they look way better. Here a few pics.
