Hobbyboss 1/48 F/A-18C
This kit is a Hasegawa copy with a few minor inaccuracies, such as the decals. Other cons include lack of cockpit detail. With a little bit of work, this can be a good kit.
Mixed Feelings on This Kit
Due to a combination of lack of common sense on my part and, to me, lack of clarity in the instructions, I ended up gluing the wheels at a 45-degree angle. That's a serious blooper. Some of the instructions are not clear to me. The kit has quality parts with very little flash, an impressive choice of weapons (you'll have some left over for other kits), and beautiful decals. I have never built such a colorful military airplane model--the decal options are all colorful; two of the three are somewhat complex. I went with the option depicted on the box art because it's the simplest. If you're up to it, you can tackle the Chippy Ho version.
