F/A-18E Super Hornet

This is a good kit, superior to the Italeri F/A-18E. Great cockpit detail, full loadout, and a great two piece canopy +actuators for the choice of open or closed cockpit. The wheel bays are very detailed, some would say too detailed, as they include several molded in wires and electrical tubes. Also good surface detail.

A nice offering from Revell with plenty of detail. The only reao issue I had with this kit was that due to the way the Horzintial stabulator is enigered it makes the afterburner cans too shallow. Other than that I have no complaints.Care must be taken when assembeling the forward nose to get a good fit, but if taken carefully this is not a problem. The wheel wells are very nicely detaile and I like the intake trunks all the way to the engine faces. I used the Eduard PE cockpit detail set which adds greatly to the cockpit,but with carefull painting and dry brushing the cockpit still looks good and a nice decal for the instrument panel is provided on the decal sheet.(both powered and unpowered). The decal sheet only provides markings for a single aircraft, but there are plenty of aftermarket decal sheets out there. As a value for money kit IMO this is the best FA-18E kit on the market,you can get 4 of these for the cost of 1 Hasegawa FA-18 and I do not see where the detail is all that different other than the afterburner cans. I would recommend this kit. I have built 4 of these and have 3 in my stash waiting to be built.

this model of the f-18e hornet was complex if you made it to be with detail but was fun. this model also would be easy for beginners moving up into the level 2 and three range. has plenty parts to paint and or detail to the specified colors or by you imagination so you choose on that one. there are very small parts to this model, holding tools and tweezers will be needed, this model took me about 6 months of taking my time to complete. the directions where very easy to follow. the only thing I didn't like was that the paint chart was only on the front page and not through out the directions of building so you had to keep flipping back and forth, unless you cut that part out to keep it to the side and move on. that is what I did and it worked out just fine. I enjoyed this model very much and would highly recommend it to anybody who likes model building and or military aircraft. you cant be quality and price!!!!!!!!!! A++++++++++++++++
