4 long months and 18 24 packs of Bud light, she is done!!!
Man that’s sweet lookin’! Awesome work… thanks for sharing.
amazing work, but one aspect that I have never quite gotten. Im sure its just cus im a beginner modeller, but I have to ask…how do you drink and build kits?
It’s another Modeling skill you aquire over many years and ruin a few kits in the process… BEER is a MUST to greive the model you had to dump in the trash. [(-D]
HE HE HE HE!
Sarge, Another Beauty well done!

Looks like a winner to me! I know little about modern bombs and missles; is the nose on that one supposed to be bent like that?
Mark
Very nice! I have built this kit, and it sure is a fun one!!! Looks great!
SSgt,
Looks like a real “lawn dart” to me, great job.
Mark,
Yes, the nose of that bomb is suppose to hang down like that while the jet is on deck, it will straighten up in flight by the air stream. That is a “gimble” and is use to “see” the laser beam the bomb follows to the target. That bomb is a GBU-16, 1,000 lb Laser Guided Bomb, it follows a laser beam that is being shoot at the target. Actually it follows the laser beam that is being “refracted” from the target but that is of technical so to simplify it just shoot a laser beam at a target and let one of these go and you won’t have a target after several seconds.[;)]
Nice F/A-18C, 4 months is reasonable, it would take me 8 mos to a year to complete a complicated build like this one. And tons of coffee. Nice job…
