1/48 Aires F/A-18 Hornet Wheel Bay Set

[Midnight Storm]

Hi all, what is a good price for the 1/48 Aires F/A-18 Hornet Wheel Bay Set for Hasegawa?

Also where is a good place to pick one up in the United States?

Thanks again!

Nothing?

I can pick one up for $30 dollars, I just need to know if that's a good price or not?

Mr. Storm.

I bought the set (I have no Idea what I paid) to use as a guide for the Revell F/A-18E. I checked them against the Hasegawa model and the Revell unit and while they will fit they looked to short to me as well. So while it is a nice set it's only going to be used as a guide while I rebuild Revell's poor attempt at F/A-18E/F wheel wells. I'm about 2/3rds finished with the bulkheads and so far they have been really useful for that as I've yet to find enough views of the wheel wells to just use pictures to duplicate. $30.00 sounds reasonable to me. I may use them in the Hasegawa kit but there isn't a whole lot of difference between the kit's main wheel wells and the Aires mains. There are differences mainly in depth of detail but I'm not sure it's worth cutting the originals out. The nose well is a different story though. The Hasegawa kit's looks like crap, and the Aires unit is gorgeous!

I don't know if that helped or not.

Cheers,

Larry.

Yes, thank you! I was able to find the same set for $20 bucks on sale! So I think I'm all set. I just didn't want to over pay on Ebay and the time was running out.

Good luck on your builds.
