VF-142 Super Hornet

[Rafael]

Masterfully done again, Model Whisperer!!!

The HUD bit is amazingly intricate, yet you make it seem so simple, until one realizes the very size of the thing. My eyes are not enough to try something like that.

The TVC (Television Camera Set) and IR detector under the nose make me feel there's no use in missing the F-14s from the fleet service.

Great model!!!

  Gorgeous HUDs. Its amazing how much tougher the F/A-18 looks with the F-14D chin pod on it...couldn't convince you to add a couple of Aim-54s with that  could I?

[Julhelm]

Wow, that's real nice.

Thank you Gents!

That's the plan. They will hang in this fashion.

I cleaned up the main gear a bit to help the looks out a tad.

Just one more silly question, Captain Nutty Buckets: will the new HUD fit under the windscreen?

D*mn, but that is some fine mini-modelling.  Hope you're showing this on FSM and Swanny's site, too!

that's about all I can think to say

[Eddie M.]

Thank you Gary! That's very nice of you!

Hi Baz!
  It does fit under the windscreen, but the angle of the HUD is off.

Obviously designed that way by some brilliant engineer

At least your IRST arrangement beats what NAVAIR & Boeing thought up (stick it on the front end of a droptank) !

I guess that turns it into a "keep tank"

Here's the beginning of a Super Hornet with color.

Well now that looks..... sprayed on

Shark Week is in full swing on the Discovery Channel and the colors of the Great White have had an influence on me.
