Spanish
Air Force 462 Squadron "Halcones de Gando
Yes,
my favorite jet fighter. Since I saw them quite often flying, starting and
landing in the Air Base where I served during my Military Service in
Spain, Hornets are for me the coolest fighters ever made! No wonder that I
have built already five kits (some Academy's and one Hasegawa, all in
1/72, and now this Hobby Boss).

For
this project I used the cockpit set from Aires (with an incredible tight
fit that caused me more than one nightmare!). The rest is pretty much out
of the box, apart from F-4Dable Decals to represent one Hornet of the
brave fighter and attack Squadron 462 "Halcones de Gando" (Hawks
of Gando), Ala 46 of the Spanish Air Force, based in Gran Canaria.
I
had the pleasure to visit this unit during a vacation in the beautiful
island Gran Canaria, in May 2013. All 462 personnel were really nice and
took care of me very well during my time in the Air Base, especially
Lieutenant "Cañonero". Many more pictures of my visit to the
Ala 46 and my finished model can be seen in www.webmodelismo.com
Vista,
suerte... y a modelar!
All
the best!
