Just something about the skull and bones tail flash that I felt I needed to build all three subjects, lol. Completed the three of them some time last year if memory serves correct, which it often doesn't, lol. One thing that tends to drive me nuts is they always come out looking much cleaner in the pics than they actually are. All three were weathered a decent amount.

Hasegawa's 1/48 F/A-18F Super Hornet.

Awesome work Keyda! I like the looks of those markings as well but I have to say they look particularly menacing on the F-4

Beautiful Birds! I like how you display them, never seen anyone do that, makes sense. Clean builds, excellent!

All three are beauties, but that Phantom is looking mighty beasty. I was always wondering why the external fuel tanks on the F-18 were canted outward instead of in-line with the fuselage. They scream up the river over here almost daily from Seattle, so when we're on the lake we can see them up close, and loud. I'm going to have to check into that issue.

Great work!

Nice trio of Jolly Rogers Keyda! :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout: Are you going to go back and build earlier types such as the Demon, Cougar, Panther, Bearcat, and Corsair that sported the Jolly Rogers flag?
