Guess I have been in a
dark mood the last month. Think we had one day of sunshine and I was at work in
the windowless concrete bunker that day. So, with the rain all but 2 days
last month some building on my off days was accomplished. Only problem is
everything seemed to involve black. A Lancaster, then 3 USN black bad guys in a
row. The one for the gallery is the F-18B. But I will include some shots of the
F-5s.

The F-18B is the
Hasegawa kit which was lightly started and missing a bunch of parts. Fortunately
I had a supply of extra Black Box parts to make up for most of the missing
items. Unfortunately one of my CF-18s (one I am none to happy with) had to
donate its front tires to complete the new kit. The Fightertown decals really
finish this model well. That and around three or forty seven coats of future for
a very shiny finish.
The F-5s used Fightertown decals
(from the same sheet) for the F-5E representing a Top Gun Movie F-5
"Mig-28". The F-5F uses Two Bobs decals. The Fightertown sheet also
comes with these markings but I intended to use those for a different project in
the future. I "think" the F-14A used VF decals but it was built
several years ago and I am not 100% positive.
