Thanks dudes!

Did some work last Monday (holiday)...just gluing some parts together....fuse, wings, stores, etc.

Also got a start on the pit. Having the option of the resin pit from Wolfpack and/or Eduard PE... :hmm: ...I opted for the well detailed resin pit, hand painted. Will save the PE for a future build.
Today.... Finished up the pit...

Image

Image

Had to do a bit of carving on the kit parts to fit the resin in.

Image

Image

Gonna have the canopy open...which would seem silly without a way to get up there...scratched up a boarding ladder...

Image

The way the intakes are...is lame! Crappy seam, and just a "wall" at the back...no trunking...FOD covers will hide that! Smash-molded the covers (right side, cut to size, left, before trimming....clearly!).

:shoutout: Wow the PIT looks freakin awesome...


A few observations... :writing:

---Do the BANG seats have those yellow and black pull handles on this variant?

---Are you gonna fold the wings on this MOFO or what?

---Does this Hornet have and sting to it? Where's the weapons???

I love your Hornet and want it to sting me several times... :lashed:
