HM F/A-18C Hornet VFA-86 Sidewinders, HA3506

SuperKungFu · 06-24-2012, 02:22 PM

Another one for the archives

This is one of the best hornet HM has made to date. I love the hi-vis markings on this bird, it also has a clear HUD and the corrected main gears. The Sidewinders were the first East Coast squadron to receive the F/A-18C model. Even though I'm not a big fan of flashy tail designs, this one looks really cool in my book. Here's some pictures:

Looks pretty cool on a Witty Wings stand as well:

Hope you enjoy the pics!

Nice pics once again. Seems the snake image breaks up a bit with paintslop around the tail lights. Adds a bit more realism in my book. So with that frequency of procuring models I'm guessing you need four display cases now to display your entire collection?

Indeed, a very nice model. Should've got this when it was on sale at the mule... D'oh!

Alfred · 06-25-2012, 03:50 AM

Yup,I got this model as well. Indeed one of the best from hm.

blu3hamm3r · 06-26-2012, 03:48 AM

Look so tempting!!! Wish i can grab 1 too....hahaha

38 Tiger Bty · 06-26-2012, 04:43 PM

Got this one and like you say it is a very nice model. Agree with you that it looks good on the Witty stand.

Could you tell me which stand you used and if you had to modify it all?

Thanks - great pictures by the way.

SuperKungFu · 06-26-2012, 10:35 PM

I used a Witty Wings F-18 stand, no modification.

This is YOUR thread of the same aircraft. Photos from June 2012 as indicated.
Now I wanted to show my photos of the same aircraft. Until you came...

You already had your share of the spotlight. Give members some space. I know the forum also serves as product catalogue, however, some members also want to have fun and feel appreciated for their work, particularly when it comes to photography. With this same content, you used my thread and use it as a reply. What's your point? If this was your case, why not just bump this thread of yours up instead of showing off where my thread is?

Obviously, you found MY THREAD as an excuse to show-off again. I dug into your other posts. SO many members wanted to show off their stuff ONLY FOR YOU TO COME OVER and overwhelm their own thread. You are a very capable person and YOU CAN BUY ANY MODEL you want any time you want, but please, stop stealing threads to get all the attention to yourself. Don't deny it, I know what you've been doing since the day I came to this forum.

By the way, your apology is accepted. And with that, I am leaving the forum for YOUR own good.

You have issues.

Whatever... If it doesn't concern you, you really should be replying to me at all. You're wasting your time on me.

SuperKungFu · 12-03-2012, 07:14 PM

ok...then if he's not involved...I'll say it..

You have issues...

gabe4321 · 12-03-2012, 07:21 PM

SKF go check out SW's recent posts. He had to go back to eight of your threads and chime in with his high school type rants. Really sad. Open public forum, I can reply to whatever I want. I am not wasting my time on you. I am trying to inform the others what a childish person you are by having to post the things you did to SKF's other posts.

At least I know mine. How about you? You really didn't know until I came here to show you the kind of forum member that you are.

Farewell, SKF. I will not bother you and this forum group again. One advise though, learn to respect the threads of other members. They look like they're cool with what you're doing but you don't really know.

Thread hi-jackers ain't cool.

But... You are wasting your time on me. Obviously, you are angry of me too. If you're not wasting your time on me, then you should stop replying against me. You are affected, that's for sure. The only one childish is the one who thinks Im childish and continues to put a fight when he's not exactly part of it.

And for your sake, before you get into a heart attack, I requested a member to talk to an admin to remove my account for good.

Hope you'd calm down now.

As you can see. The other members are calling you out on your little sissy girl posts also. Issues man issues. Ah Byebye!!

Don't let the door hit you on the way out. So immature....

btw, this is like the 6th time you said you were going to leave, if you are going to leave then just leave. Now who is being the attention-whore

Because you keep butting in. You're blocking my way out. You're so mad at me simply because you read a thread and became affected. Immature people love to butt-in and feel very angry later. Those who came here earlier didn't feel angry at all. I don't know why you are so pissed. I was reserved to have all anger for myself because it was I who fell into this issue.

Why are you getting mad too? Ever wonder why the other members are not as mad as you are? You need to say ByeBye to me too, you know.

PythonOne · 12-03-2012, 07:49 PM

back again I see....surprised your big head could fit through the door...

This was an argument between me and SKF, why are you getting mad at me too? You're very childish and immature.

SuperKungFu · 12-03-2012, 07:56 PM

I never actually argued with you SweptWings....all i did was offer my apologies but you spat in my face and decided to go into several of my threads to accuse me

you brought this upon yourself through your actions. You are only adding fuel to the fire

As the others have said...seriously...get some help. There are more important things in life than to do all these childish behaviors

Ah SKF, easy for you to say for someone who wasn't the one offended. And the same quote (in bold letters) are stated by the same type of person who find themselves at fault. The guilty folks always think that the angry people they offended need help. The guilty folks just can't accept they're being given a lecture. It's stinging in their ears.

Thank you for your apology. Oh and by the way, even people who apologize know and realize that there's a consequence to their fault. You can't let anger pass with a simple sorry. You ought to hear what you ought to hear. If you keep on replying, obviously, your apology is insincere. I was angry and you know that.

Ok....now your seriously getting ridiculous man. I tried to support you but now your becoming the very thing you were totally against. Your nothing more now than a troll and attention grabbing whore. SweptWings if you have nothing else better to say you might as well leave.

To you Sachiel, this time I am sorry. Was just saying. Nothing more.
