Mine came in today. I saved a spot to hang it already. I'm tempted to put a gloss coat on it. I just don't know if I want another project right now.

How's it look? I'm fence line on it... the F-18 is my second favorite aircraft next to the P-51 of course... but this one didn't really strike me as all that great. I'd rather wait for the Red Devils (local Squadron actually)

It looks good, I just wished it had more shine. If you are a Raider fan(not my team) you'd probably really want one :)
I'll try and get a pic up tonight its already hanging. The 2 things I noticed right away are the sidewinder rails are grey because they're attached to the missles and the drop tanks are grey. Probably cost to much to get those redone. Remember if you bought the Blue Angels you didn't get any weapons or tanks.

It took a while but I put a few shots of the Jolly Roger F18. I had a slow internet connection and I finally figured it out was happening.
I also took a few of my room. I've shifted a bunch of planes around and still need to do some more.

Yes thats a Voodoo, I didn't scale it out but figure its close to 1/32. I picked it up at a Hobby Show in LA in October. Not much detail but very cool for a wood model. The price was right too.

Kagnew click on my website button. I have never been able to get single pics in from Webshots. If somebody know how please tell me.
