--------------------

 

This is the new F/A-18E Super Hornet from Revell, really I enjoyed building this aircraft, easy, fast, great details, weapons; of course it had a some errors, but if you want you can fixed or not. If in the future I build another Super Hornet, it will be from Revell, but at this time with detail set and another squadron, and fixing the errors, I think Revell must be releasing the 1/48 F/A-18F.

This Kit comes with option for two shemes low viz and hi viz VFA-14, First I was planned to build this in Low Viz, but the markings had a light color, so I change the option.

This Kit comes with great weapons, I used all except the AGM-84E....it is from the Hasegawa Weapons Set.

This last pictures show some parts of the building process. I used an Steel tube for more realistic front landing gear it looks great. I noticed the canopy of Super Hornet is Tinted with golden or yellow, I tinted the canopy using an polish and orange color (paint with water) it works. Well I hope you enjoyed this model. Soon I will post more models.
