Meng 1/48 F/A-18E - Maverick's ride from Top Gun 2...


Recommended Posts

I'm really enjoying these quick assembly videos on Youtube. That is a nice Super Hornet. Even if I'm not too fond of the markings. I'd rather see a grimy, patchy F/A-18E as the star. It worked with the F-14.

It also makes me ponder on one thing that I like the most with modern kits. I mean the super well fit (tm) and extreme good detail (c) are fun. But I'm loving the small stuff - cockpit sidewall details attachet to the tub. That has got to be the best thing in modeling since recessed panel lines. Or at least resin cockpits.

Thanks - I'm going to do the -F as a dirty bird for sure, but I had to do Maverick's plane. The fit and finish on the Meng kit is just great.
