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

 

I have built this Bug from the Italeri F-18A/B kit. And though, the best choice for modelers is the Hasegawa kit, I was interested in trying this Italeri kit.

Some parts were used from the Italeri F-18E kit and also the Hasegawa Hornet kit , but only those which will not are used for building Japanese Bugs. I used the decal sheet from Two Bobs. 

I painted the model with Humbrol paints and miscellaneous Humbrol and watercolors paints were used for weathering. The bombs were taken from the Hasegawa Aircraft Weapon Set D and the Super Bug kit from Revell.

Happy Modelling!
Sergei
