Wings are attached and sanded. Vertical tail is pegged in with round toothpicks. Next the lex and putty. Undercarriage is complete.

A sneak peek at the RAAF F-18 hiding in its bunker. Close ups will be provided when the remaining three are done.

Do you have the right security clearances for taking photos of secret bases? You should try photos in black and white or sepia. It would give them that surveillance spy look.

Coffee cans, poster board, scrap book paper and a wild imagination. Never thought of the black and white effect. Thanks for the idea. RCAF version nearing completion. All major decals printed, now just time to get them in place.

I like the black and white. I can here the drone circling snapping photos. Scramble! Oops that's the war gamer in me coming out....

If I ever get my UAV off the ground, the images could look somewhat like this. Here we have left to right:
RAF Buccaneer, RAAF F-18 and RCAF F-18. The Balkan Rat F-18 is temporarily on the bench to be used as a guide for the next two coming off the line.

Lou thats amazing ! you are taking these little gems to a new dimension,do we have the making of a new stealth concept that the military would be interested in ? if they can fly a remote electric powered delta across the atlantic and land it the other end then why not a Air Toons sized replica fitted with micro equipment onboard ! you would certainly never see it and detection would be difficult,you may be onto something here.
