tomcatfan Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Hi Everyone, I was wondering if there are any update parts available for the bachseat instrument panel with the large MFD and the antenna in the nose landing gear door. I would like to build an 2017 jet. Regards, Daniel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shion Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 All these parts are included in the Growler kit. In fact, if you want to build a F/A-18F BlockII or a F/A-18F with ACS, you've just got to buy kit referenced PT52. It included ACS, new antennas on the nose landing gear door, new ECS exhausts + the original F/a-18F box parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darren Roberts Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 If you can't find a Growler, Steel Beach has an ACS update and Quickboost has some ECS pipes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neeko Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 If the antenna on the NLG door is the one I am thinking about, this is a TACTS antenna that goes on and off all flavors of Super Hornet. The presence of this little blade is not beholden to any specific Bureau Number group or lot. New jets don't necessarily have to have this antenna. I tried looking up the instructions on 1999.co.jp, for PT52 just to be sure, but I couldn't tell. Time to march my lazy butt up to my stash to see once and for all I guess.

Niels Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 The EA-18G kit has all you need to build a correct F/A-18F, going to do the same when time permits Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Metallic Details also makes a backseat console update. It looks very nicely done... http://metdetails.com/catalog/metalic-details/aircraft/148/mdr4817-f-18f-advanced-crew-station-rear-cockpit Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Darren, any chance you'll make another run of the update in 1/32? I have Trumpy's Foxtrot and as I understand it, I would need one for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jbryan911 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 This is the best price I've found on a Growler, or F-18F: https://smile.amazon.com/Hasegawa-1-48-EA-18G-Growler/dp/B004OSIKVA/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1515936563&sr=8-4&keywords=18+growler Avionix/Black Box has a late model cockpit as well. If you watch Amazon, you can find Avionix stuff at really good prices. I think I got mine for 12$ or so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
