Here it is ARC, the first
production model of the new EA-18G Electric Super Hornet, or simply The
Growler.
This kit was an easy one if you are
familiar with the F-18F from Italeri, with the updates. No more fictional
speedbrake and other details that were wrong. The IFF box on the
nose was scratch built using the center sprue piece. This kit took about 3 weeks
for assembly and 4 days to paint. I used Light Ghost Gray Model Master
Enamel for the base color. Future was used for the canopy and windscreen.
Like my previous entry the F-4. The decals went on great a little future
and dull coat. This gives them a realistic Painted On look and feel.
I was
really happy with the results. The ejection seats are from True Details.
They fit great with this kit and are very detailed. I suggest these for
any F-18.
Enjoy this one, next project, an F-14 ?????
