f you want colourful
ModeMaker have you
covered this month.
Especially If you like Tiger
schemes on Legacy F-18A Hornet

. ALA 15 the Tiger Squadron of the
Spanish air Force did a stunning job on
one of there aircraft in 2010. Painted
to celebrate the 25th anniversary of
the type’s service with the squadron
this Hornet has some striking tail
art. But that is not that unusual but
continuing the tiger stripes along
the wing control surfaces and rear
fuselage is and certainly makes for a
striking aircraft. Though strangely
no stripes are included for the
under fuselage fuel tank seen in
the A-4 photograph of the aircraft
included as part of the instructions.
The second sheet this month is
from 6when the squadron hosted
the Tiger Meet for NATO nations
at Zargoza when a slightly more
subdued scheme was applied, but
this time you do have the markings
for under fuselage fuel tank.
Both sheets also include a
number jungle and enough low
viz unit insignias so you can
also produce a line bird from the
squadron though you would need
to source national insignia and
stencils if you wish to build both.

ith the
release of
the new 1/72
scale Modelcollect
B-2A Spirit it was
about time someone
produced a new sheet
covering the markings
for the B-2 Spirit.
Two Bobs have
done a wonderful job
covering 19 of the 21
aircraft produced at
various times between
2003 and 2017. What
surprised me about this
sheet is the number of
individual markings
carried by the Spirit.
Though most are in low
viz grey one B-2A 1066 “Spirit
of America” did carry the “Lets
Roll” eagle over stars and stripes
badge in full colour on the
nose wheel door during 2003.
