Black Ops, Anthony, and BdaB,
    Thank you very much for the encouraging comments  B)   . I'm thinking of sending a pic or two to the Angels and see what they say.

Thats awesome Eddie!  Works for me

Great stuff, Eddie ! Very convincing. My brother saw a superbug at an airshow last year, and still hasn't stopped talking about how cool it was. Now imagine a whole flock of them !



Love the pick of her beside the Scooter. I saw them back in 79 or 80 at Hamilton. What a show they put on ! Makes me think of how cool a 'heritage flight' of BA would be....paint up a Phantom and an A-4, and also get one or two prop jobs in there.........

beyond slick...that is simply stunning.  Wow, in every sense of the word.

Someone posted a Superbug in Red Arrows livery from a flightsim way back when - it might have been a mod for Falcon 4.0

Ya know Eddie, this is the second BA F-18 I've seen in 2 days.  The other one went on and on about the multi-layered shading, the hand mixed blue paint, etc. etc.  

I did a simple comparison test.  I looked at pics of a real BA Hornet, and then his and yours.

Yours blows his so far out of the water it's not even funny.  You got that sleek "Look! 12,000 layers of blue so deep you can see Andromeda in the wings!" look that the other guy couldn't come close to capturing.

Absolutely awe inspiring paint job and an excellent build.

Thank you very much! The secret to a finish like that. Use so many coats that you can barely tell what airplane it is.  


Archibald,
  Thank you very much for admiring my work.
