modelbouwer Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Hello guys , I recently got to the 1/32 Trumpeter F/A-18F. Bought some nice decals , but when I go to the Eduard site , I 'm surprised to see that for the "F" Doubleseater , there is not even a Cockpit PE set. In 1/72 and 1/48 : yes. In 1/32 : no I know there are some RESIN AM kits from Red Fox Sudio's and Res Kit , but where are the PE specialists ? Anybody having an idea about photo etch for the F/A-18F in 1/32 ? Have a nice day , Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Smith Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Cannot answer your question, but tagging for interest since I have the kit in the stash. Well, looks like I found the answer. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/trumpeter-03205-boeing-f-a-18f-super-hornet--102802 Edited October 8, 2021 by Scott Smith Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Squizzy Taylor Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I’ve got the same kit as well, and in regards to the cockpit, as the kit set is just woeful, the only company I’ve heard about that are planning on doing a set us GT resin. But that’s also been planned for several years now, but good things come to those who wait! There’s also bits and pieces for the kit by quick boost (Aires) and reskit who make very good exhausts and wheels! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dustiepal Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Red Fox does a 3d printed cockpit set for the trumpeter kit. https://www.rfstudio.hu/termek/207 for the E and https://www.rfstudio.hu/termek/208 for the F.

Dave I’d recommend waiting a bit for Quinta to release their set. Quinta just released a set for the Trumpeter E, and a set for the F can’t be far behind. The Quinta sets contain sidewalls and seat belts, neither of which are included with the Red Fox sets. Also think the detail on the Quinta sets is a little better.

modelbouwer Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share Posted October 9, 2021 He guys , Thanks a lot for the comments and different hints. What I can see in todays aftermarket for the Trump 03205 F/A-18F, we have a whole bunch of Resin ; Aires , Quickboost , Res Kit etc etc and also new decals : DXM VF-103 Hi Viz and Lo-Viz , Cut Then Add : VFA-103 Lo Viz for 2 different A/C But in the photo etch branche , on the eduard site , only the F/A-18 E Exterior set is available. All the other 1/32 sets for F/A -18 E that could be used for the "F" version are tagged as " DISCONTINUED " So , apart from the exterior set for the F/A-18E , does someone else make any Photo Etch set(s) that can be used for the F/A-18E ? Am I the only one that is looking for F/A-18E photo etch ? Can't believe it .... did the modelling world became THAT cruel ????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
