Looks very smooth.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

With this installment I have added the PRU for thew undersurface. Vallejo Model-Air 71-109. Right out of the bottle. Landing gear doors and RP-3 rails are painted and on the side.

Next installment and the Hornet is now on it's legs. Will start masking for the Medium Sea Grey in a little bit.
I figure the next tour and they will be wheeled up with supplimental oxygen.

Coming up on the twelve hour mark. Decaling completed. Now it is time to detail stuff and wrap this one up. Dinner time here in the Colonies so will break, eat and watch what is known as the news. I'll be back.

I am calling this one done at the fourteen hour mark. Took a little longer due to the nature of the kit. But there is nothing quite like tghe thrill of doing a CBK Blitz. I would like to do this with the newer kits and a good ExtraDecal sheet. And I do wish Airfix would do this one up is 1/72 or 1/48.

Well, unfortunately I couldn't follow along as I had to do this thing called work. Go figure.
She came out nicely Jeff. I have always liked the look of the Hornet and may have to find one sometime.

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

Re: Jeff's CBK Blitz. The FROG Hornet *Finished*
Lovely job Jeff. The simple camo suits the aircraft's clean lines.
I doubt Airfix will do one due to lack of original drawings or existing airframe.

Very nice indeed Jeff, simple classic lines but you've had your work cut out to turn out such a tidy build!
Best wishes
