Looking impressive so far and plenty of pointers for when I eventually start mine
Thanks for the tip AlanLooking good Barry. Those bomb rails (centerline & shoulder pylons) were a <insert expletive> to fit and heavy as hell too in real life. Not sure if the instructions tell you to but on the leading edge of those pylons, black erosion tape was glued to them for a little protection. So maybe you could paint that when the time comes
In my stash I have the Trumpeter 1/32 F/A 18E Super Hornet and the F14B Tomcat, not the Super Tomcat. I will post threads when I get to them.VERY nice build Barry just askin as I know you like building the 1/32 scale kits have you built a 1/32 super tomcat or a 1/32 super hornet as if you have it would be nice to see the builds to help me with mine that I have still to build
Hi JimHi Barry
Progressing nicely. All looks very neat. Can I ask please what filler do you use?

HI Barry exscuse me on this but whats a feathered edge ?It is solvent based but I don’t find it too bad for smell. The secret of getting the feathered edge is to make sure it is properly cured before sanding. I have find that you can get that with all three of those and I often finish off with the MDP as it is very self levelling and that really helps.
It can be where you might have two mis-matched edges, one slightly raised. You can apply filler up to just over the higher edge and sand then down to even it up. A feathered edge means it will blend into the plastic without any ridge.HI Barry exscuse me on this but whats a feathered edge ?
