McDonnell Douglas F/A-18A Hornet Blue Angels, Hasegawa, 1/72
Here are some pictures of my lately finished F-18 Hornet by Hasegawa in 1/72. It is colored as a Blue Angels Hornet. Blue Angels Blue is self-mixed by using different Gunze Mr. Hobby blues and white.
Hope you like it.

Lovely work!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Thank you all for your nice words. I like how you guys treat each other with respect.
Back to the Blue Angels. I mixed enough for 2 Testors bottles and I have got a Blue Angels Phantom and a Skyhawks on stock. Don't know if they changed the blue during the years.

I’m fairly certain that the blue has been the same color for the entire timespan that the Blues have been in existence since shortly after WWII.Bolleken wrote:Back to the Blue Angels.
