WOW!!! Those are awesome Super Bugs!!!
I have one question. I have the Revell F/A-18C with the Swiss markings. Is that the same molds as the "C" ones you did? If so how the hell did you get them to look that damn nice???

yes medicman, and it is the third update of the monogram kit, the Revell is the low budget solution, Hobbyboss and more the Hasegawa are better in all points but for more decal version I need low price kits sometimes.
to get a good Revell model you have to do some more work with the shades of color 3-5 diferent gray on each of the 2 tone camo..some pastel wethering some detil painting and patiens...it works.

Great. What I meant was how did you build it to get rid of those seam lines down the side of the nose and tail.

Chippy Ho!!!! Nice! My guess would be yes, that is a Hasegawa kit. I love the red one too. Never saw that scheme before.
