  This is an easy kit and I have no big problems building it. However, to my disappointment, the detail is very low. The cockpit looks very plain and the instrument panel is given a decal, so no dry-brushing can be carried out. But this kit is very cheap, only S$10++… and there are one fuel tank, two 1000lb bombs plus six 2.75 inch rockets in the kit. This kit is all brush painted and I used mainly H54 Navy Blue, H56 Intermediate Blue and H316 White (FS17875).

  Sorry for having so many background objects inside the photo. This is my first article and the photos were shot long ago, I was in hurry when taking the photos.

   I build this kit because it will be one of my friend's birthday present. Too bad, a few days later after receiving this aircraft, my friend accidentally broke the arrestor hook... Now I am working on a 1/72 Hasegawa F/A-18F Super Hornet, I am now looking forward to share its photo with you when I complete it.
