Magnificent work Fermis! I'm building an F/A-18F myself and I can only hope mine comes out one quarter as good as yours! Simply stunning!
Question for reference on mine: Is the underwing ordinance supposed to angle outward like that or should it be parallel to the fuselage? I want to know so I can do mine right. Thanks.

no, that really is the way they hang on an E/F/G....there was an issue in development with the straight-forward pylons. During design, some genius didnt check for weapons clearance. So instead of redesigning the whole wing, they just toed the pylons out a few degrees.
Every take-off has a landing...some are just better than others

Excellent! Thanks for the info on that. Now I can do mine right.

So...have those landing gear struts started bending yet??? 
Also, do you
flatten the tires yourself or are those resin replacements, or what???

Them gears still be good!Manny1943 wrote:So...have those landing gear struts started bending yet???

Tires are the kit parts. I lay a heavy(ish) grit sandpaper flat on my bench, then drag the wheels across it to get the flat spot.
