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.

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

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.

Looks good Mike! I just put the HUD unit in on my Tomcat!

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

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.
