Since the weather doesn’t want to cooperate, the Super Hornet twins are getting worked on today. Sanding and filling.....so much fun. :bored:

Damn! All you building fools knocked my Hornets to the bottom of the page!! :nono:

Got the rear of Hornet #1 (or AG Hornet, air to ground) all cleaned up. Not too bad. Now I can add the vertical and horizontal tails.

That's a funny looking mustang? :hmm:

Good looking rear end there Mike, what's the fit of the tailplanes like?

Are you checking me out? I'm flattered but let's stick to the model builds. :lashed:

The fit of the horizontal tails isn't bad but the vertical ones isn't great.

Sanding and filling is the good Lord’s work! I’ve been doing a bit of that myself lately. Back to you- I can’t wait to see these with paint on them!!

Vertical stabs are on Hornet AG. One will need some filler at the base but not too bad. The horizontal stabs will be left off till the end to aid in painting.

The Lord's work? I think it's the other way around. :giggles:
