PLAMO: Re-WiredWolf - Plastic Modelling, Share & Learn

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..
meantime, back to rushing my tomcats for may27th..

batch #2 being assembled at achtung..


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






batch 1 and 2 together at last

Man you are amazing how you can do so many all at once.
So impressive and they all look good too, thats the most amazing thing.

heyeyz.. i took out my 1/48 italeri superhornet F, sealed up the airbrakes with putty and then sanded smooth. and then it was bye bye felix.. to make diamondbacks with a twobobs decals i bought recently.






more updates soon of the other hornets.. this might become a 18 F/A-18s GB. as usual.

oh my! 9 1/72 hornets at one go! as usual!



the ex-vfa83 kangam kit has been resprayed to kuwaiti air force version with 3 tone desert scheme. now awaits my experiments with printing decal paper for the insigia.





and mass production style for european bugs. Swiss, Finnish and Spanish hornets underside
