Here is my
Monogram F/A 18+ that I've recently finished. This is Monogram's older kit
of the F/A 18 A that I upgraded with the
current changes to it. The kit is painted with Model Master paints and the
decals came from the Super Scale sheet No.48-982.

Kit Upgrades:
- Add the AN/APX-111 IFF
antenna's to the nose ( bird cutters) and new LEX fences.
- Add new longer UHF/VHF swept
back antenna's on the spine and behind the nose wheel right hand side.
- Add a GPS dome on the spine
behind the upper UHF antenna.
- Remove the AN/ALQ-67 rear
warning antenna on the rudders.
- I bought the fuel tanks from
Lengend Productions and a F-18 metal upgrade set made by Finemolds.
Reference's:
First, thanks would have to
go to fellow ARC'ers Fury, Dave Wood, Super Hornet 88 and Aidy who answered my questions
about the changes that would have to be made to the kit. I also went out and
bought the Daco Pub. book on " Uncovering the Boeing F/A 18 A/B/C/D Hornet".
This book is more than likely the only book you will ever
need to fine out anything on the F-18's. It had photos of each of the changes
that needed to be made for the A+.
