Navy F-18E and Marine Corp F-18D

[Raptor.777]

Am building both models right now. Thought I had my mind made up on what armament I was going to use. Now, just a little unsure. F-18E was going to use JSOW 154C BlockII and maybe a GBU31V1 (bunker buster) and F-18D was going to use GBU 32 for all the weapons stations. Going to use Litening pods for both. I know the Navy is still testing them but Marine Corp is using them. Now I'm thinking GBU 38s with the DSU 33 fuses on all them on F-18E, still want to use the GBU 32s on the F-18D with the same fuses as the GBU 38s. As far as AAM missiles, AIM 9X on wingtips and AMRAAM 120Cs on the cheek stations. Any other good resources out there for this subject? Been watching lots of videos on youtube

Thanks

I doubt it.  Just internal improvements AFAIK.  I think about the only visible difference between the variants is the clipping of the wings in the C model so it can fit in internal bays of aircraft like the F-22 and F-35.

That is why I thought that Ds should be a little shorter than Cs. But of course I am not sure.
