F/A-18F Super Hornet by Skymaster

[stevenwong]

Thanks Skyhobbies for creating this forum, really cool!

I have purchased the Skymaster F/A-18F Super Hornet turbine jet a while ago, it is unpainted and hopefully i can start painting it in a few months time.

I've got the Hyperion servo-slow circuit from Derrick and i'll be trying it out on the hornet's airbrakes, it will be operated with metal-geared servos, Cheers All!

And if anyone have any questions about airbrushing, paint mixing ratios, what thinners to use, what compressors to buy, let me know, Thanks and Cheers!

Thanks Steven,
we had a good time on the SERVOSLOW didn't we? ;D ;D ;D

[stevenwong]

Yeah LOL! Thanks for your help in troubleshooting! ;D

I'm sourcing what paint scheme to do for this hornet, once that is settled, will start mixing the paints.

Hi Steven,

Nice Super hornet you got there.
Have you decided which colour scheme to go for?

[SKYHOBBIES]

you can link your images of your build log to showcase here if you will...
Fortunately this free forum has image link..... advantage is that you can remove them anytime you want... no archive

Thanks Derrick!

When i first saw it at the shop, i was amazed by it's rivet details.

I'm starting to gather all the servos, servo leads, spiral cable protectors, most of the stuffs are ready, i just can't decide on the paint scheme yet!

I will start this project very soon.

Thanks Fonz

Have finally decided on the VFA-41 Black Aces squadron based on USS Nimitz aircraft carrier (CVN-68).

I just started with logos and fonts creation fresh from cad software.

It will be a time-consuming task to create all the fonts for this jet.
