Darren Roberts Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I'd wait for Revell to rerelease theirs. While not perfect, it's a bit better than the Italeri/Academy kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

F4DPhantomII Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 Not crazy about the kit markings but I'll get that kit.I never bought their F model when it was out.Found a Revell F-18E yesterday. I am looking forward to the Blue Angels sitching to them.Their old A's and C's are a dying breed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Not crazy about the kit markings but I'll get that kit.I never bought their F model when it was out.Found a Revell F-18E yesterday. I am looking forward to the Blue Angels sitching to them.Their old A's and C's are a dying breed. The Revell F is a decent kit. It's not as accurate as the Hasegawa, but you can buy 3 Revell's for the price of one Hasegawa kit, if you can even find them. I'm going to try and do a dropped flaps set for it. In regards to the markings, the other option is going to be VFA-32 with the blue tails and skunk stripe. Edited July 9, 2016 by Darren Roberts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
