Hello-I am going to give this model a try. I have the kit, am using the C model kit as it has the fence for the wing and the C and A tails. I have the CAM decals for the Blue Angels 2006 season.

Looking forward to this build. The demonstration team birds always looks so sharp. And no weathering!
EDIT: and CAM provides enough decals for 3 birds?!

Very nice, looking forward to this. I recently picked up the same kit so I'll be interested to see how it goes together.

Nice subject choice! You can never go wrong with a Blues Hornet.

A slow start, some cockpit work done. It's a shame Hasegawa never did a better cockpit for this kit. The basic tub, seat, stick, Instrument panel and decals.

Is there any aftermarket stuff available for this kit? PE sets, 3D decals, resin seats?

I love watching the Blue Angels perform. Only saw them once. The Thunderbirds I've seen at least 3 or 4 times. Have never seen the Snowbirds. Definitely want to see The Black Diamonds demo team out of Florida.
I've got the 1/48 scale Kinetic Hornet in my stash.
