For Valentine's day, I have ordered for my wife a warm coat and she nicely ordered for me a model: Hornet 1/144th...
My intention is to remove the tail and put on the wing asymmetric double "fins":

Thanks to dogfighterZen, that may have inspired this with his twin-tail Viper coded F-16W... see http://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php/topic,39268.90.html

So good to know that i inspired you, Tophe! :bow:
Now, that is a different layout... I'd put the bigger tails on the outside but i'm a symmetry freak, and i like it when people aren't afraid to derive from the norm like you. This should be very interesting! :thumbsup:

I have received the kit today. It is not yet Valentine's day, so I am not going to start building but I opened the box to check the content:

Close to completion... (I will not paint it: grey is a good camo for flying in the clouds)

Sounds good to me!   I bet you could drive some people NUTS with the asymmetric fins at model shows.    ;D ;D ;D

Oh yeah, the expression on JMN's faces would certainly be fun to watch... :wacko:

Thanks a lot!
Well, my 1/144th model of the F-18W is now finished! Enjoy before it (and me) explode, as the scale 1 one is top top secret and I had no authorization at all to show this... :-\ ;D

Looks good!   :lol:

I am just sharing an innocent harmless toy, but FBI/CIA will make me explode I think ;)
