Hi guys,

I have been working on this for several months now. Being my first "major" build in years, it really has been a learning experience. I enjoyed every minute of building it but also had several moments of just wanting to throw it across the room. Finally done after 4 month-ish, I want to share some photos with you. Given that I've only got back to the hobby earlier this year, you can see that I made some rookie mistakes along the way but still very much enjoy building this. Thanks J

I'm doing a 1/48 Hornet atm and I think that's a bit small. I wish I had done 1/32 now!! Looks awesome!

Already started, check out my latest build in 1/48. I was actually really surprised how small the Hornet is compared to the Tomcat. I think for the 1/48 scale, the Super Hornet is the way to go. Still loving the build though. :thumb2:

Woops I meant to say 1/32 scale.....My 1/48 Super Hornet is quite a decent size.
