    Fantastic finish on the growler! You did a great job on the whole model, but the paint scheme is superb!!! 😍
    I’m also waiting for a perfect Hornet! I hope Mr. Tamiya won’t let us wait too long! I guess the upcoming Top Gun movie would be the perfect way for Mr Tamiya to make good money!
    Cheers!

    I think this looks great and really like what you did with that tank. As I'm learning this sandwich shading technique, what I found hard to see in your video is how transparent your top coat is. Based on what I can see in the video the 'final' stage seems as if all the under shading work is gone.
    You're correct the Mr hobby colors do have a strong blue tint to them, at least the ghost grey's. But I've seen some hornet shots where in the right light the blue tint is strong as well. Vallejo also has a blue tint to their ghost grey's.

    Looks great! I think that there is something strange with the HobbyBoss wingtip ECM pods, their dimensions seem to be somehow inaccurate compared to photos of a real thing.

    • @TheModelGuy
      @TheModelGuy  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Even the jammer pods under the wings lack a lot of detail. But it was easier to work on overall

    I'm building this kit soonish. May i ask about the centreline ALQ-99 pod.. is it the kit part or aftermarket resin? it looks like the wider low-band unit if i`m not mistaken. thank you.

    • @TheModelGuy
      @TheModelGuy  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s the kit part. This kit didn’t have any after market stuff except for the HARMs taken from the Tamiya F-16CJ

    FYI The centreline ALQ-99 Low band pod is not included in the HB kit. It has a wider profile shape towards the bottom unlike the wing mounted high band pods. I’m assuming you used a spare high band pod from the kit?

    • @TheModelGuy
      @TheModelGuy  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They have three in the set and being a Chinese company they probably didn’t have access to one for measuring
