these are desperately in need of some major reoverhauling.. the fujimi vfa-81 bird has a rough surface because in 1999 it was sprayed in thick tamiya paints.. the one with the folded wings is a kangnam kit tat also need some reworking with the decals and markings. the white one is a hasegawa f-18 prototype which belongs to my cousin but i never got around to finishing it. plus, the blue and gold decals have yellowed and brittled beyond rescue, so i have my own decals to put on it..okay. so i hope i'll have more Hornets before the end of the year's plamo's teen fighter GB..Em58
meantime, back to rushing my tomcats for may27th..

tentatively all double seaters =3, swiss, finland and australia.
batch#1 single seater is canadian and spanish. (i think the vfa-81 bird is beyond repair, see how i can tahan the kitech pair first)
left kuwaiti and malaysia. i have no decals for them and no idea what the kuwati insigia look like.
more progress on the 1st overhauled bird..

the AA was written in gundam marker 5 years ago, and after sading with 600 sandpaper it still seeped through the light blue gunze paint. 1 coat of tamiya black paint later it still shows through. so how? achtung thinner!! rub it away with cotton bud. haha, then leave dry and sand later
