Thanks for the explanation. I started using sanding sticks again as a result, and they do make a big difference.

You're welcome! I get the ones from Hobby Lobby. They're cheap and do a great job.

I reckon resin is too soft/flexible to make good landing gear material. Looks great so far!

Re: 1/48 F/A-18E Super Hornet
Thanks! Yeah I guess so. Well there's a market out there for decent landing gear.

Re: 1/48 F/A-18E Super Hornet
Just so that they don't feel left out, the Super Hornets made their turn at the bench. Back to cleaning up the forward fuselage on both.

Mike don't know if you posted or not. But what markings are doing these two?

Re: 1/48 F/A-18E Super Hornet
Thanks guys! The nose on that one doesn't look nearly as bad as it does in the pic.
John, one will be a CAG jet for VFA-151 Vigilantes. The other I'm not 100% sure yet but probably just a Low-Viz line jet.
