➡Patreon www.patreon.com/user?u=63530999 Meng 1/48 F/A-18F SUPER HORNET The FULL BUILD showcasing this recent kit of the Super Hornet. FULL VLOGS and explanation videos of this build are available via PATREON NOTE: RIO with JHMCS helmet is deliberate error as I wanted both crew "visors down" JDAM and GBU markings are questionable... the depiction of the ablative coating in 48th scale can be done with mr surfacer but looks typically over done and out of scale in 48th.
Just watched your Meng F/A-18F build again. I can’t say enough of about your excellent videos. You show what you use, tools and materials as well as techniques very clearly and legible. Thank you very much !!
Just finished all the sub-assemblies on mine - will be the next one on my bench after refurbishing the 'man cave', so great timing Bear ! Best from NZ.
Hey i love this build so much and what makes it soo good us your excellent painting and weathering details keep up the good work! And i wanted to ask whether the paint and stuff is included in the kit?
I have this kit and have watched this video about 3 times...absolutely gorgeous build. I have 1 question though, when you are removing the rock salt with a brush, how are you cleaning off the remaining "residue"?
The kinetic kit is the legacy hornet... and I have not built one. But I have to say that Meng have done an outstanding job the fit and ease of construction is Tamiya level .. I really recommend 👌
I really want to build this kit but i am discouraged by the nose to fuselage seam. Ever since i can remember f-18 kits, the engineering of the nose section has always been the same. ☹️
As an Ex Royal Air Force engineer, no weapons have time to weather. We upload less than 60 minutes before flight, and unload if not used with-in the same time-line on recovery. Yes it's your model etc, but just wished to let you know the real world.
Guess what smart ass... weapons do appear weathered on a lot of USN aircraft during deployments... as can easily be found in photographic references of the real deal on operational duty... welcome to the real world mate.
