I have a F/A-18C from Kinetic, a D and F versions from Hasegawa and a Growler from Italeri in the stash.

Got the front windscreen masked and glued to the fuselage. Just remembered that I forgot to add the HUD first. :headbang:

Ah yes.... I've lost count of the times I've forgotten to fit the HUD... :headslap:

Looking good though Mike!

I've got just the two E's from Revell in 48th. But I have so many decals for some cool schemes

I'd like to get more of these Revell Super Hornets. I wish the F was just as easy to get as these E's. I can get them at Michael's for cheap.

While I was priming things, I shot some black around the front of both Hornets to see what needs to be done around the front windscreen.

Thanks for the reminder. I have to make sure I glue the HUD on my Viper Kit today. :giggles:

I haven't been able to work on these much. Need to get back to it. Work is really cutting into my build time lately. :whiteflag:
