Wow one of the most impressive models I have ever seen. The lights are amazing. Most impressive is the engine lights. The flickering affect really looks like the engines are fired up. Lights even on the refueling truck. Incredible work wow.
Thanks man,,,,your spot on,,get close to an aircraft, if you can see a gap between two panels,, you've got a problem, unless of course, it's the SR71 Blackbird,,😉 Thanks again,,,,I like a man with a critical eye👍.
And the hits just keep commin'. Awesome 18 Nick. You've got a real talent my friend. I'm not only impressed with the speed at which u produce these works of art. But all of the wiring, lighting & weathering is truly something to behold. You never fail to amaze me. Great post. Merry Christmas.
Howdy Clone Fox. I am building an E model currently. I clicked on this video to reference parts alignment. Your craftsmanship is top-notch. I noticed you have showcased the F model and the Growler. Funny thing, my son and his roommate from the Naval Academy(Annapolis) are both flying Super Hornets. My son is flying F/A-18Fs and his friend is flying Growlers. I am working out the kinks building the E model first. After I build the E model, I am going to tackle the F model. Hopefully I will have both done by July. My son should be back from his current deployment in July and I want to give him the completed F model as a welcome back present. But you never know what timeline to expect when a carrier is deployed. Just have to be flexible. Thanks for the videos. I was so stoked by your craftsmanship, I had to show my wife and daughter. Like myself, they are impressed by your craftsmanship.
Hi John,,,glad you like them,,I've got to say, my favourite variant is the 'F' variant,,with the Growler, in second,,,I've not built the Trumpeter 'E' model, but I have built the Revell (brand new tool🤔) version not so long ago,,I wouldn't recommend that one, it's pretty bad. I hope your son is staying safe up there, What squadron is he with,,it's just, I love building the super hornet, and when I build another, I'd like to make one in that scheme, I like building aircraft that have a personal connection, I would be very grateful if you could let me know. Thanks for your appreciation. Nick.
@@clonefox80 My son is flying with VFA-32 and currently deployed on the "Ike". Thanks for the best wishes and same back to you. I use your work as the gold-standard I would like to aspire to as a craftsman and artisan in my model making pastime.
Can you help me with the parts used for the lights and stuff I want to try to take it to the next level but I know shit about wiring thanks and that 18 is top notch shit can't get any better 👌 💯
I thought you had used LED's for the electro panels for a minute but I guess this is glow in the dark stickers. But what a fantastic model! I especially love the afterburner effect. Absolutely beautiful!
You are right about the slime lights, they are tape, I tried lighting them once, in an F15, but I didn't like the result. Thanks for your comment dude👌
@@clonefox80 no probs. Did you actually program the micro yourself? Also almost looks like you have used microfilm for the displays... Seriously this is awesome work!!
@@ollyk22 hey man,,no, I have a Tec guy that does the programming, I just tell him what I want to happen, he programs the Arduino. I can't remember what I used for the IP, it might have been micro film, Trumpeter do supply most kits with it. Glad you like,,, What's your favourite aircraft?
@@clonefox80 haha I have a few. Absolute is the 104, but love the anglo-french jaguar. His programming is superb, it isn't easy and I love the way there is some blue on ignition. I need to check your other vids when I get a moment!
Thanks very much,,I love these US Navy Jets, they look like a machine that's being used. I've got my second ever WWII era plane to build next,,P 47 ,,I'd like to get to know the weathering look, that these birds had. Thanks again man,,glad you like.
Thanks guy, ,from opening the box, to completed kit, took just 4 weeks for this Hornet, Trumpeter kits are a staple for me, so I know their flaws and what you can achieve, A Zoukie mura kit on the other hand, because of its complex engineering, can take up to 3 or 4 months. Thanks again for your interest.🙏
Thanks dude,,the decals on it, were just gathered together from spares I have,, Why do all these kits give you , 'high vis' show bird decals,, they just don't do it for me, and all available after market sets are high vis too...that sucked.
Hey man,,,, I mostly use Tamiya paint, but the range isn't that great, so I mix all my colours, the main grey colour for this was basically the lightest grey I could find, I think it was Tamiya 'royal light grey',,,then I'll mix it with a little 'German grey' and a tiny bit of ''flat blue' That's the base colour,,then it's just a case of 2or3 more coats,, lightened using 'white' adding.a.bit more white each coat.
@@JohnSmith-dz9zl thanks man,,,I'm currently working on a 1/32 JASDF RF4-E " Blue shark", It has a resin nose conversion set for the Tamiya F4 J,,it's a bit of a pain, but we'll get there 😉 Thanks again man.,👍
I really enjoyed getting the wings to fold on this one, it's been on my to do list. Maybe, working undercarriage on a kit would be cool,,who knows. Got a 'P47' winging its way to me, from a friend over in Wisconsin,,( WWII Tank buster,,,,should be interesting ) Later bro.
Sorry,,, spazed out there for a sec, Yeah, the formation lights are; self adhesive luminous tape, activated with a UV laser pointer,,,looks really cool I think,,the only thing is, no matter how straight you get em, there's always one or two that just want to move slightly, you go back in and straighten it up,,10 min later it's off again,,,,, freaky. Thanks again man,, Iater.
Hey Nick...If your gonna do that "Jug" next and u want see some actual planes while in country ( in England...) There's an old documentary on NETFIX about 20 minutes or so long. It was made during the war & goes into some detail about the daily lives of the pilots and the type of missions they typically flew. Including "THE HUN HUNTER" There's ton of great footage. Much of which is in color as I recall. Looking forward to the 47'.
Thanks Dave, that's definitely worth a watch, This P 47 build, will be the last in my stash, I've got nothing left to build☹️,,looks like I'll have to get back in the rat race, and get a job to fund my addiction. How've you been anyway, hope your well. Strapping in for winter here,,,I'm not built for the cold, wish I could hibernate. Say Hi to Bill for me. Have a good Christmas 🍻
Did you build it and how did it turn out? Any tips or concerns about the kit? I have both the E and F. Our son is a USN Naval Aviator. He thought he was going to fly the E model so I bought the 1/32 F-18E kit when he went to the RAG. In the RAG at Oceana NAS, he flew both the E and F. Then at the end of the RAG training in the F-18, he was assigned to an F/A-18F squadron. He has a new appreciation for WSOs working in the backseat. A good and experience WSO really helps with the work load and task saturation. So as a result, I just bought the F model. Now that I am retired, I can start wading through my stash. But first off, I am going to tackle that F/A-18F.
Hey man,,this trumpeter kit would probably take maybe a week, to build and 2 or 3 days for painting,,this kit has quite a lot of parts, typical trumpeter,, about 400, with all weapons,,you could go for the Revell, 1/32 F/A 18 E,, not as detailed ( parts count ), half the price,,ideal for beginners at this scale. Hope this helps.
I use Tamiya paints for base coat and main paint,( mixed to the colour I want, ) they don't have the biggest range, but a lot cheaper for me than Mr colour ( £5 a pot in the UK ). For the weathering, I use mainly, Mr Weathering colours and oil paints, Enamels on acrylics gives a nice texture difference on the aircraft's skin. Thanks for your questions.

Incredible model!
Thanks Buddy,,
I just like giving things, that bit extra snap,
Make it dramatic and more interesting.
Thanks again.🙏
maravilloso! sobre todo como queda por dentro iluminado! Genial
Thanks,, ;)

How do you make the light effects?
@@ozgenturas2688 I have no idea how he did it. I have never seen anything like that to simulate and operating engine.
It's nice to see that the panel lines are not exaggerated. Good job!

i am your fan, I learned a lot from watching your art thank you for uploading the video
I am honoured, thank you.
An absolutely amazing and fantastic build, that have all the elements of a great model builder.
Thank you for your kind words sir.🙏

Very nice build. Where did you get this glowing tape?
Hi ,,,the glowing tape is 10mm glowing in the dark adhesive tape,,,,it is activated with a UV light
Amazing job and crazy cool lights👍👍what did you use for the top color and bottom color?im trying to figure out which paints to use👍

hello i am your student , This product does not contain low visibility decals How did you do it?
Just some spares I had from a Gulf War NAVY set
@@clonefox80 i see thanks!
How long does it take to put together/basic paint job for a new builder? I wouldn’t mind putting this on my desk.

What brand paint do you use and do you prime the plastic before you start spraying?
