This is just my second submission to ARC and a lot has already been said about the Italeri kit and I won't expound on the pains that have to be experienced to make this kit look acceptable as a SuperBug. Well, this kit basically started as an F model which I modified to an E (I don't know why I did this.....) using lots of CA as putty at the spine of the aircraft. The canopy was taken from an Italeri F-18 CD kit.

Decals are homemade (well most of them) like the squadron markings which are in VFA-115 markings. Washes that were used were basically rotring ink diluted with water.  

Well, really feels good to have finished this kit after being set aside for almost a year. Looking forward to the Revell offering......=)
