Another one from a
group build. Just like almost every plane I have done in the past two years.
This time its a Hasegawa F-18E for the SEAD group build. The decals are from
Two-Bobs, the HARMs are from the Hasegawa weapons sets. Air to air missiles came
with the kit.
This time I also
tried the Tamiya weathering stains that are applied like womens air makeup, even
comes with a makeup style brush. I may have used too much for this exact
airframe but I like the way it came out.

This time unlike my
past built F-18Fs I had no troub le what so ever with the fit of this kit.
Everything went together first try and with no putty whatsoever apart from just
in front of the windshield. Still much better fit then the last Super Hornet I
did.
In the background of
one shot is a Hasegawa F-14D in the markings of the old CVW-8 100 CAG bird.
And then a Hasegawa
F-18F of VFA-213 which is the 200 squadron currently with CVW-8.
