John Lequerica Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hi Gang, Here's my attempt at Revell's 1/48 scale F/A-18E. Ordinance is from the spares box and decals are from Afterburner. I know it looks out of place on tarmac, but since I don't have a carrier base built yet it will have to do. All tips and suggestions are appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave1089 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Very nice. I've a Hasegawa E model to make in these colours. Hope it turns out as nicely as yours. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Snap Captain Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Looks fantastic! Awesome load out and the weathering is superb. How did you find the kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jonny2174 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Very nice job! I made an F/A-18E as a very first kit. You did an amazing job at covering up the seams on the nose and forward fuselage, hopefully someday I can make an F/A-18E as good as yours! Hooray for line jets! YEAH!

Jinxter13 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Superb build, that kit is a bear to wrestle to the ground and make it cry "uncle". Congrats John....hope to see more of your work . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
balls47 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Great job on the Revell F-18E. I keep saying I'm gonna do one of these, but I really need to slim down my stash. (as if that's ever gonna happen!) Your F-18 looks fine on the tarmac. I'm going to the Dayton Air Show this weekend, and there will be an F-18E and F-18F (I think) on static display, so your model is on static display at your favorite air show. Again, great job!!!
