This is the Hasegawa 1/48 EA-18G Growler, it was a nice kit that is easy to assemble and has detailed surfaces. I used the Wolfpack design resin cockpit, Olimp resin nozzle and Eduard EA-18G exterior photo etch.

The model started with building the cockpit, no need for heavy sanding and dry fitting.... it was quiet easy to fit.  Air intakes have to be painted white first and the nozzle because have to keep the wings can move up down have to give up the resin nozzle inside and used the plastic one, only used the nozzle!  Photo etch sets have to be used on the wheel bay door, landing gear and the formation light! 

The decal were not an aftermarket set, I was decals from the box, the printing is good and easy to use.  Canopy had spray a layer of Koren IPP 's clear black color and the models was used Mr. Color FS36320 on upper and FS36375 on the bottom!  After painting I sprayed a flat clear for finished.
